APAT Irish (Dublin) Live Updates Day 1 2017

[Luthee13]

Welcome to the APAT Irish Amateur Poker Championship, held at the Bonnington Hotel in Dublin.

I will be bringing you updates from around the room along with Tom Brady.

Over 100 players so far have sat down with their 20k starting stack on a 40 minute clock. The plan is to play 15 levels today and we expect to be in the money by the end of play today. Remaining players will return tomorrow at 12 noon to see the tournament to completion and crown an APAT Irish Champion. Leigh will be providing the live stream from tomorrow.

Good luck to all taking part - shuffle up and deal!

Three players with cards in front of them and a decent amount of chips in the middle.

The board is

Rob Davies ships the rest of his stack across the line - 9,750.

Richard Arthur, directly to Rob's left, is obviously frustrated at this - "I don't believe it...!" and he makes the call.

The other guy folds.

Rob has

Richard shakes his head and shows

Rob now up to around 35k.

[Luthee13]

Nicki Meighan went down to 2k

Her QQ on a 7 high flop seemed good enough to call the shove of Enda Walsh.
He turned over AA and took the pot.

But, she has re-grouped and re-built and is now on just over 8k.

[Fatcatstu]

Afternoon. Looking forward to the update at 11pm stating that Carl pilgrim is 250 chips over his starting stack.

[Luthee13]

Leslie Warren calls under the gun.
Nerijus Simonavicius makes it 450 to call.
Dave "Paxo" Paxton calls in the small blind and Leslie calls the extra.



Paxo and Leslie check call Nerijus' 1100 bet

They all check the turn

on the river.
Paxo checks. Leslie bets 2200.
Nerijus folds.
Paxo asks if Leslie has the flush - she says nothing.
He folds but shows

Leslie shows as she takes the pot.

[Luthee13]

Nicki Meighan - having built up her stack to a decent size, re-raises the villain pre flop and they see a q high flop.

Nicki bets every street getting it all in for the river - another Q.

40k pot.

Nicki has AA
Villain has AQ os

Nicki is out.

[Bigfella42]

I got my last 12k in with 10 j on a 7 9 k flop.

Up to 28k 😀😀

David has
Villain has

[Luthee13]

Anthony Ferry - in the cut off, Robert Blaauwgeers - on the button, Elie Hallouss and Paul Shillaber - both in mid position all have their cards still.

The pot is around 4.5k and the board so far is and they all call the 800 bet by Anthony.

river

Elie and Paul check. Anthony fires 3,475.
Robert and Elie fold. Paul makes a quick call and is happy to see Anthony's as he turns and takes the pot.

[Luthee13]

Blinds are 100/200



Around 3k already in the middle.

John Lanigan bets 600 and Rob Davies calls.

river

John check calls Rob's 700 and mucks when Rob shows

[Luthee13]

Barrie Penman makes it 800 pre flop with blinds at 150/300, 50 ante.

He gets 5 callers!

flop gets checked by all.



Dave Kingswell, first to act from the small blind, bets 1200.

Nicki Meighan, big blind, makes the call.

Darren Harbinson moves all in for just over 3k.

A fold from the player next to him and re ship of 5300 from Barrie.

Next player folds and it is back on Dave. He has a long think and counts out the call to see the dent it would make in his stack...he makes the call.

Nicki folds.

Darren quickly shows
Barrie has
Dave has

on the river.

Darren triples up, Dave gets a small side pot and Barrie is eliminated.

[Luthee13]

Dave Pilkington calls me over as he is scooping in a huge pot - "you're going to love this, Lucy..."

I look at the cards. Dave had and the flop came

He told me there was action from the other players in the pot on all streets and re-raised all in on the river and got called.

Not sure how many chips he now has as he was still trying to sort them...will find him and find out.
