One of the most infamous and influential games of Season 3. Matty's game pretty much set the tone for the rest of 2008, with the show hitting a MAJOR depression era of bad luck, cowardly deals, power 5-level wins being next to non-existent, desperate gimmicks, and pessimestic/fearful contestants that would loom large over many games for the next 8-9 months! Things would begin to improve in the last few weeks of 2008, going into 2009, but from about halfway through 2010-onwards, it was never good again, especially with the show becoming an hour long and being dominated by predictable cautious play for the latter years of its run.

I started watching the show on the boxing day Christmas star 2008. I don’t think I would’ve continued if I started watching it around Easter 2008
This would be the last 1p member until 2nd October 2008. :)
