APAT Northern European Amateur Championships: Live Update

[TightEnd]

So three handed there is plenty of play 50x bb stacks for the top two

Plenty of minor skirmishes but waiting for the outright confrontation.

[TightEnd]

The confrontation came in the end

Fedorov open shoved 700/- at 15-30k from the button with Q-7 off. As you do. Well as you do and I don"t

Vajka found a hand AhKh in the big blind

OK Heads up was brief but interesting

A tale of two hands really

In the first Hein was on the button, limped and Fedorov checked his option

the flop was   jd :: and Fedorov open shoved the lot in

Huge overbet

Hein is a thinking player.

He launched into a monologue

"You"d raise any Ace right? So no Ace. Maybe you have the King or Queen of diamonds? Maybe nothing. I have a pair and a flush draw"

He thought some more before eventually releasing


Next hand, Fedorov open shoves the lot from the button

Hein sees   in the big blind and I think it is reasonable for him to expect to be ahead compared to the loose chip-leader

He calls

Fedorov has  :as: ks though

the board runs out  jh js and

that means that

Vadim Fedorov is our champion winning 59,400Estonian Krone, the Title and a GUKPT seat, medal and of course...significant media exposure. LOL, when I wake up  

[lukybugur]

Congrats Vadim, WP!

Priit Pajuuma of the Olympic Casino Group, Tallinn presents Vadim Fedorov with the trophy and Gold Medal

[TightEnd]

Right then I think that"s it from James and I


A few thank you"s. To Priit and his team here at the Olympic Tallinn, thank you very much. Superb organisers, wonderful dealers (the dealing standards had to be seen to be believed) and a really good poker room

To James, well done. Grand job for two days.

Thank you to everyone for watching and posting. I know it"s a bit different railing an event where you know so few of the contestants, and it"s appreciated that you do.

Lets hope some of the Baltic players introduced to APAT this weekend stick around.

From my perspective, this is a really interesting City. Maybe we"ll be back with APAT in the future. I"d recommend the trip if it is ever possible for you


Goodnight!

[AMRN]

Cheers Rich and James - thanks for a great two days of updates

[lukybugur]

Better advise our new Champ that, when playing his GUKPT, he"ll not get into Casinos in the UK in a vest.

Time to bundle him up to bring him back for Laxie now ... good luck with that Rich!

Thanks again for the updates, top job again.

[Chipaccrual]

Well done guys, great job.

Congratulations to all the cashes and especially the top three.


Sounds like a huge success of a weekend.

[Cyntaf]

Yeah, thanks for keeping us informed and amused, glad to see another weekend in Europe went very well.

WP all.
