I approach the table as Richard Baker completes the small blind in a 5 way pot and Stuart Astbury checks in the big blind.



They all check

on the turn.

Richard checks, Stuart bets 200.

It folds to Scott Berridge on the button, he makes the call and Richard folds.

on the river and Stuart reaches for chips and makes it 450 to go.

Scott announces "raise" and puts in 1500.

Stuart makes the call and Scott quickly says "nuts" and turns over for quads!!

Stuart mucks and Scott takes the pot.


Scott Berridge (right)

[Luthee13]

Paul Rice is makes up a small raise from the big blind in another five way pot.

on the flop and all 5 check.

on the turn.

It checks to John Murray and he makes it 600.

He looks puzzled when both Martin Wilson, on the button, and Paul make the call. The other two fold.

on the river, Paul checks to John.

John studies the pot and makes a bet for 1300.

Martin folds with some ease, as does Paul.

"Grrrr" says John as he turns over his for quad 3"s...

9 full tables of 10 and a healthy list of alternates, and Cardiff is SOLD OUT*. Great turnout from APAT regulars and local players alike. Thanks to all for making the effort!

I started my day with a spot of wakeboarding in Cardiff Bay Great fun!



*Alternates for first 4 levels. 10 on list so far.

[Luthee13]

Laura Rhoden sneaks in and raises it up to 125.

Richard Baker and 3 others make the call.



It checks to Laura who bets 250 and gets one caller in Rais Khan.

on the turn and Rais checks to Laura who bets 500 and Rais lets it go.

Nice little pot to start the day.


Laura Rhoden

[Luthee13]

David Kingswell and Daniel Lewis are the two left holding cards after a board of

The pot is around 4k and David leads out for 525.
Daniel raises it to 2575
David says "all in"

Daniel thinks for a little while...says "Kings are no good then?" and folds face up.

David tables and shows Daniel his fold was good and scoops around 7k for his stack.

[Luthee13]

Level 2, blinds 50/100

Laura Rhoden, on the button with one caller in front, makes it 800 to go.

Scott Berridge in the big blind makes up the difference to call, as does Rais Khan.



It checks round to Laura who bets 600 and then sighs a little*
Scott quickly calls and Rais folds.

turn.

Scott checks and Laura checks behind.

river and they both check again.

Scott turns over "I was worried you"d got Aces"

Laura shows *"I probably saved money - I meant to bet 1500 on the turn!"

Scott takes the pot.

Shirley Cole takes down a small but nice pot -

Daniel Lewis raises to 300 from under the gun.
It folds to Shirley makes the call, in the cut off, as does Alan Vinnicombe on the button.
The blinds fold and we see the flop -

Daniel checks and Shirley bets 500.
Alan calls and Daniel folds.

Liam Alcock raises to 275
Brian Frew makes it 550
John Murray and Liam make the call.

John checks blind.


Liam checks.
Brian makes it 1500

John says "we fold" and pushes his and Liam"s cards towards the muck!

Liam agrees though and Brian takes the pot.


Murray, Alcock, Frew

[Matt D]

We"ve lost of first player of the day. Normally a sure bet to go deep: Stu Greenan at the hands of Steve "Rebecca"s Dad" Redfern.

Stu raises to 300. Steve pops it to 1000. Stu makes it 2700. Steve asks for a chip count (11.5k).

It"s no conundrum for Steve, as he shoves all-in. Stu, holding Kings, has no choice but to call. Steve has the one hand beating Stu, and it holds. Stu Greenan is first out!


Steve Redfern.

[Luthee13]

Chris Webber makes it 250
Kev O"Driscoll makes the call and they go heads up to the flop.



Kev checks and Chris bets 250 again and Kev calls.



Kev check calls 650 from Chris.

They both check the river and Kev turns and takes the pot as Chris mucks.

[Luthee13]

Clare Duffy has asked for her double up hand to be posted so...here it is

Duffy

Floyd Williams has

Flop is

Clare moves all in and is called.

Two brick cards on the turn and river and Duffy doubles.


Clare

[Luthee13]

Jayne Webb is our latest casualty, she was incredibly short stacked and fell to James Ellis.

[Luthee13]

Players are on a very short break (casino"s request) they will return very shortly to Level 3 with blinds at 75/150.
