Day 2 UK Team Updates

[Luthee13]

Brian raises from the button to 95k

Martin re raises to 250k

Brian says "all in" and the count is just over 1.5m

Martin declares "I"m not much of a believer right now and I have a good hand"
But after a think, he folds.


Brian has around half of the chips in play currently.

[Luthee13]

Glenn moves all in for 517k

Brian, having asked for the count, agonizes and thinks and eventually makes the call and quickly flips
Glenn sighs and tables

The flop is and Glenn takes the lead.

The turn, means Glenn has to avoid a 10, Q and K in the river...

The falls and it is all over for Glenn.

Very well played Glenn Townsend. As part of team Blonde, he has his Gold team medal, his share of the team winnings of £3000 and he also now has a Bronze individual medal and £650 for his 3rd place finish.

[Luthee13]

[Luthee13]

From the opposite extreme!

Both players flat pre flop and check it to showdown.

The board is

Martin announces "8 high"

Brian says "8 high or ace high?"

Martin "8 high"

Brian "me too".

They chop the pot...

[Luthee13]

Martin scoops a pot of around 450k

He raises 125k pre flop and gets the call.

Flop comes down

Both check.

The turn is and Martin bets 100k
Brian calls.

They both check the turn and Martin"s is better than Brian"s As

[Luthee13]

Both players limp and we go to the flop.

It flop comes down with

Brian bets 125k and Martin raises all in.

Brian stands up from the table and asks for a count while pacing...

The count is 786k...Brian eventually makes the call!

Brian shows

Martin has

Martin has two lots of straight outs and two overs to Brian"s flopped pair.

The turn brings groans and sighs from Brian"s rail as it is the and Martin takes the lead and is looking set for the double up.

But...it isn"t over until it is over...

The river is the !!!

Brian re takes the lead and the tournament!!

[Luthee13]

Martin Sieder takes second place, a Silver medal and £1010, very well played to him.


Brian Yates is our APAT Coral Team UK Championship Individual Winner and will receive a Gold Medal and £2010! Very well played to Brian indeed.

Some "thank yous" from the weekend:

A big thanks to Luton Casino and staff for being so welcoming and helping us put on such a large event. Thanks to our sponsors Coral whose support enables us to run the event, provide a live text update and now some very cool live streaming too. Please support Coral by downloading and playing on the APAT Coral poker room from: http://www.apat.com/online - it"s numbers playing on the APAT version of Coral that allow the support to continue!

Thank you to Alex for her brilliant photography skills (and patience! Trying to get 30 teams of 8 photgraphed is like herding cats!). Thanks to Leigh for his awesome live streaming and commentary throughout the weekend (very impressive!).

Thank you to Lucy and Tom for their great updating throughout the weekend.

Most of all thanks to all the players who made the trip to Luton and all the groups and forums that took part and/or applied to play. It"s you that make the weekend so memorable and a pleasure to work at

[Longines]

This was my first APAT event and certainly won"t be the last. The whole weekend was excellent and both APAT and the casino should be rightly proud for delivering such an awesome event. Maybe a little more room between the tables would have been nice for those of us more horizontally challenged than others but that was the only minor issue.

The £5 STT at 2am this morning looked fun, not sure my liver would have coped though - you guys know how to party.

I"m now trying to rearrange my travel plans that currently mean I"m going to miss the whole of WCOAP :-(

[s4ooter]

Well done all.

Must correct Lucy though, Ben Walton did the double the last time the team event was played at Luton.!!!
