Not long after and Keith Forster makes his move and announces all in.

He is called by Craig Dawson, with plenty behind, and Keith states "wrong time to make a move then?" and shows
Craig has

on the flop and Keith takes the lead.
But the on the turn means Craig regains the lead and Keith needs to improve to survive...

on the river sends Keith to the rail and Craig adds even more to his stack.

[Luthee13]

On a board of Derek Watson and John Murray get going.

Derek ends up all in with John comfortably making the call.

Del has
John has and is ahead with two pair.

John starts listing the cards he doesn"t want to see...

The is not one of them and he wins the hand sending Del to the rail in 16th place.

[Luthee13]

Another raising war pre flop leads to Ali Ahmed moving all in and Tom Clark calling.

Tom is the player at risk and shows
Ali has



Tom does not improve and he is out in 15th place.... and jumps into the live Vegas Satellite...

[IrishTom]

Action on Table 1 when Ali Ahmed bets 15.8k on a Board and Craig Dawson takes a while.. then folds as he expect Ali is ahead... as always.

James Edwards gets a few All In pre-flop through with his short stack, David Amos picks up some chips...

Ali Ahmed with plenty of chips bets 6k with on the Board, and Craig Simpson ships all in and Ali calls...

Craig shows for 2 pair... Ali holding ... Board completes with and Craig doubles up...

[IrishTom]

As we approach the first break of the day, over on Table 2 we have a Board and Alan Kirton is on the Button and All In... Iain Ayre gets out of the way and John Murray calls.. saying you may have the same hand as me as he flips over ... and Alan flips ... split pot

In an intersting (but important) side note, a win today would propel John Murray back to the top of the APAT All*Stars rankings.  

On points earned today (if he cashes), James Edwards will leapfrog Warren Jones to become all time #5.  He could go joint #4 if he wins the event.

Pops thinks for a minute and puts in the extra chips to make the call.

James groans as Pops flips as he shows



And James does not improve and busts in 14th place.

[Luthee13]

Kevin Simpson and James Lowrey do a chip swap two hands in a row:

In the first hand, Kev has James covered by not very many.
Kev has
James has

James is on his feet by the turn as the cards come but sits back down when the river falls.

The next hand and Kev is at risk this time, he has and James has

and Kev makes the flush to claim back at least some of his chips.

Kevin (left) and James in action...

[morlspin]

Good luck Craig Simpa, have a 50% stake using staker! You da man!

[Luthee13]

Pokerpops manages to questionably wrangle some chips from Ali Ahmed...

It folds to Pops in the small blind and he makes the call. Ali checks.

Pops checks the flop.

Ali goes to bet 2.5k but the way the chips fall he is forced to bet 3k. Pops raises to 8.7k and Ali calls.

They both check the on the turn.

on the river sees Pops lead out for 12.9k and Ali quickly make the call.

Pops announces "flush" and shows "I kinda backed into that one..."

Ali mucks and chuckles.
