#2  8-Game Players Championship

PLO

Ady has won a couple of sizeable pots, potting the Flop and Turn, with Haresh calling the Flop and slowly folding the Turn both times.

In the second one, he shows   on a board of   , which I"m guessing puts a question mark over the first hand..........

#4 NLHE 3X

Timotheos Timotheou limps under the gun with pocket kings.
Andrei Cucu raises, Timotheos re raises all in for around 10k and Andrei calls.

The first card over is the ace and the river, just to be sure, is a jack and Timotheos is out.

#4 NLHE 3X

After a few raise and re-raises, Stephanie Theopemtou and James Shea get it all in before the flop.

James shows As
Steph has but declares "sorry mate, I"m gonna make a straight on the river"

But she doesn"t have to wait that long as the flop delivers

The turn and river don"t help and Stephanie very quietly gathers the pot as James departs.

#2  8-Game Players Championship

We have a Champion!!!

Ady Lovelock has won the tournament, winning a WCOAP Bracelet, a Gold Medal and £1,650.

The Players" Championship has clearly established itself immediately as one of the most prestigious events in APAT's calendar. I predict that this event will grow in the future but, with the possible exception of the WCOAP Main Event, there is already no tournament that the players want to win more. Winning this shows that a player is a master of numerous forms of poker - and we have a worthy first winner of the event!
