My favorite APAT venue and one that brings back great memories for me and I"m sure many others. Raise a glass to Brendan whilst your there.

Sorry I"m missing this one.

Having played the previous 3, I"m gutted to be missing the Irish champs. In fact I made my APAT debut at the Fitz.

Gl to everyone

Likewise gutted to be missing this, but hey a 12 hour return drive drive to drop my son off in sunny Aberystwyth is a worthy cause I guess.

Best of luck to all the usual suspects, The Gers,Paul D,Paul Mc, Phil the marathon man, Don L, Ant 66, Chen, Linda & Richard,Brian Y, The Thinker, Carl L, Tim M, John Murray, Mark Lassman, Martyn Sharp. Actually not sure Don L is there but good luck if your are matey.

I must get a few final tablists to rail from that lot. Hopefully catch up with most of you in Luton.

Lookin 4ward to this one more than any other, not just because I am defending the Title, but because I love Dublin and the irish people. If ever there was a tourney that you don"t mind going out early from it is this one !
  Having said that, going out early is not on my agenda. Winning is !
  Good Luck to all.
  BCPC 4 THE WIN !!

So here I sit in the Fitz.

A 4.30am start for a 6.30pm flight that I made by the skin of my teeth. Who should I run into at the airport on arrival but Jack Prime and Paul Petcher. Fancy that, three Leicester City fans, less than 12 hours after our 6-1 drubbing. No words needed to be said, a raised eyebrow or two said it all.

We shared a cab into town, they"ve gone wandering while I am getting up to speed

A text arrived from Leigh earlier to say he and John Murray are stuck together at Gatwick, plane defective. If Leigh didn"t arrive in time I would be forced to take the photos. I am not sure the APAT gallery is ready for that.

Fortunately he has just arrived


I"ll be back later with news before we start this afternoon.

OK play is underway with 80 or so runners to date. Three levels before registration closes, so expect that figure to rise.

Apparently the event clashes today with a big JP Poker event here in Dublin, which is unfortunate for local player participation

However, Dublin Poker is very much spur of the moment stuff, advance planning not part of the scene...so people will no doubt come along to play a bit later

A great chance for these players to get ranking points for the end S4 added value and CofC seat to the winner

First player out Damien Bailie, Aces, all in on a Jack High flop, called by J-8. River Jack

Gerard Smyth Senior all in 3rd hand Aces versus Queens, holds and doubles through a local player...local player set to be second exit....


This could be over tonight if J-8 and Q-Q want to stack off in a 10,000 chip 45 minute all levels comp in the first fifteen minutes!
