Early days with all players still in, including Alex Cooper, winner of the APAT Fantasy Football last year, claims his added value prize of a National Championship entry and turns up tonight at Stockton

 

[Luthee13]

David 'Pokerpops' Amos has had a bit of a rollercoaster already. He lost a small chunk with QQ on a K x J 10 board with villain holding K 10.

He got it back when he called a small raise on the button with . Flop has 2 spades on it including

Turn is and he gets back to starting stack when Villain bets river holding

Barrie Penman getting involved, he raises to 350 pre flop from mid position. Alan Bowman calls next to him and Pops calls from the button.

The flop is

Barrie bets 650, and both call.

is checked by Barrie. Alan bets 1200.
Pops raises to 2700.

Barrie folds quickly. Alan thinks before folding saying "you've got a Jack"

Pops shows and says he hates the turn and had to raise.

All in pre flop this time but almost the same scenario as tonight's first bust - for Anthony Drane vs the of Gary Roberts.



Anthony Drane busts 3rd, 5 minutes before the first break.

[Luthee13]

We reach the first break and a crowd gathers around table 3 with 4 players having cards on their backs and 3 are at risk!

Bryan Tismond has less than 4k and shows

Stephen Luke has less than 5k and is holding

Mark Burton has around 10k and shows

Xenophon Constaninou has them all covered and shows

first card in the window!



Mark Burton knocks out Stephen Luke and Bryan Tismond and gets a full double from Xenophon!

[Luthee13]

Isabel Boyle sitting on 10k at the break is having 'one of those days' and decides that 'going quiet and reading my kindle', although maybe not more productive, will at least be more satisying

The board is

She ships it all and is called by Garry Roberts holding

The river is the . Izzy misses the royal flush but her nut flush remains enough to put her up above starting stack.

[Luthee13]
