Title: WCOAP Day 5 - MAIN DAY 2, HEADS UP
Post by: Des on April 01, 2013, 12:57:29 PM
Welcome back to Dusk Till Dawn, where today we will conclude the five day World Championship of Amateur Poker Festival....and what a fantastic day we have in prospect. 

We will see day 2 and a World Amateur Poker Champion crowned in the main event, plus the 64 runner knockout Heads Up Championship.

Stick with us through the day until we stream live from the tv stage later this evening with the final table of the main event.

It might just be amazing...

First hand back and action on table 14

Folds round to a short stacked Jo Harris who opens to 12k

Troy Harris calls in the sb

Flop comes  Js 3h 2c

Checked from Troy and Jo c-bets 20k, after a short deliberation Troy shoves Jo in for her last 45k and a quick call

Troy 10s 10h

Jo  Ac A s

and brick turn and river gives Jo a far more healthy 140K

Troy down to around 50k

All 64 players have made the cash, with a guaranteed minimum of £200 for 64th. So, with the bubble already burst, we"re expecting a rush of exits in the first few levels.

News reaches of JPRound"s 63rd place exit, unluckily running Aces into a set.

I know this will probably sound like sour grapes (as I busted on the last hand of the night last night), but I think it"s very disappointing that we were playing on the bubble last night (and indeed the night before) without knowing it.  There was a lot of speculation about how many players would be paid without any definitive answers.

The bubble is an integral part of any tournament and affects how everyone plays, so for the tournament to effectively not have a bubble is regrettable.  Hopefully this won"t happen again in future events.

Good luck to Andy Hayes today!

Short-stacked Carl Pilgrim surives an early scare. All-in on table no. 14, the small blind of Andrew Hayes dwells for a few minutes, but finds a fold. The big blind of Jo Harris also folds.

We are down to 45 players.

Point taken and for what it"s worth, I completely agree with you Paul.  This was allowed to slide with so much going on and for that you have my apologies.  We will ensure; alongside any venue we use, that it won"t happen again.

Thanks Des.

Just to be clear, it"s not the fact that I was the bubble boy that bothers me (it"s happened often enough that I almost expect it!).  It"s that I didn"t know that everyone coming back for day 2 would be paid - if I did I might have folded my 12k stack on the last hand of the night and taken the cash.  The other Paul Taylor being chip leader going into day 2 was just an extra rub down!

Aside from this issue I really enjoyed the weekend.

Dann Williams out the Main Event, straight into the Heads-Up, and now out of that too when his pre-flop raise with KK is called by 29 that flops the miracle full-house. Not sure of other betting action other than that info, but you can be sure to hear more details in Dann"s next episode of the popular "In the Muck" poker podcost!

Does not sound like sour grapes to me Paul but on the 1st day you just dont know when the bubble is till you finnished day 2 late reg then you should know soon after this how many get paid. but as for not having a bubble i have to say im not a big fan on changing it on day2 to pay the bubble off unless all the players had said yes then thats fine, but for me if iv got chips and we are on the bubble thats when you can build a big stack to push on to take the comp down so the longer the bubble goes on the better pluss its is the best part of any comp

Very well put argument and an equally well constructed reply. wd all.

Steve Redfern was drawn against Luca Cannella in the Team Game, but didn"t get to play it due to England"s 3-0 Victory meaning it was a dead rubber.

Coincidentally, he was drawn against Luca again in the Heads Up event...

Another win for Steve and he"s through to the 3rd round!

Does not sound like sour grapes to me Paul but on the 1st day you just dont know when the bubble is till you finnished day 2 late reg then you should know soon after this how many get paid.


Exactly.  This is why the bubble cannot be at the end of multiple day 1s, because it"s impossible to know how many players will be paid until every player is registered.

I think the problem in this tournament was that too many levels were played on Day 1 resulting in too few progressing to Day 2.  I believe we played one level fewer than planned as it was apparent that too many players were busting out on the first Day 1.  This was probably accelerated due to the largest blind jump of the structure in the final level of Day 1 (from 1k/2k to 1.5k/3k) and I"d have liked to see an extra level (say 1.2k/2.4k) here to ease this jump.

I appreciate that it"s difficult to create a structure which enables the tournament to be finished in 2 days with the bubble being early day 2.  This one was very close to optimal, but there"s room for improvement in future events I think.

Sorry for derailing the thread btw.

For me this event should been 25k starting stack like the DTD Deeptack Paul that runs fine every month with a early bubble on day 2, but like Des has said they will look into it and make sure it does not happen again

Troy Rutherford, getting a bit low on chips (100k-ish), shoves all-in from utg+1 and manages to pick up the blinds.

Very next hand he shoves all in again. This time the player to his direct left, Bruno Abelho, makes the call.

Everyone else gets out the way.

Cards on their backs.

Troy: 5c 5s

Bruno: Jh Js

Kc 3d Jd 7d Jc

Gabriel Macavoray raises utg to 20k. The next 2 players fold and Tod Wood makes it 65k to go.

It folds back round to Gabriel who goes into the tank.

5 minutes later he"s still stacking and unstacking his chips, and checks his cards again one last time before asking "Queens?"... and finally finding the fold.

Tod flips Kings. "You"re too good" he says.

Gabriel says "I knew you had something."

The player to Gabriel"s left, Ronaldo Amir, reveals that the previous hand Tod had Aces.. So, Kings this hand, must mean Queens the next hand...

Sure enough, the very next hand Tod is dealt Queens and takes the pot down with a pre-flop raise..

blinds 6,000/12,000 ante 2,000

Jean-michel Ballocchi raises to 28k from late position. Ryunosuke Mason-Brown calls from the button, as does Carwyn Jenkins from the big blind.

Flop: Jh 5c Qc

Checked round to the button, Ryunosuke leads out for 58k.

Jean-michel re-pops it to 225k.

Ryunosuke shoves all-in for 640k total, and Jean-michel insta-calls for his 580k stack.

Jean-michel Js 10d

Ryunosuke Kh Qh

The turn gives some hope to Jean-michel with the 9s

But the river of 7d is of no help, and Ryunosuke scoops an absolutely massive pot (1.5m+).

Jean-michel sportingly wishes Ryunosuke good luck and shakes his hand before departing the table.

Gabriel Macavoray, now very short stacked, all in from utg+1 manages to treble up despite getting 2-callers when the river is a 2 pairing him up.

The next hand, a bit less short-stacked, he shoves all in again (for 82k). The next player to act, Ronaldo Amir, in an attempt to isolate makes it 164k to go. Ian Bills also comes along for the ride, for his stack.

Cards on their backs:

Ian Bills: Ac A s

Ronaldo Amir: Jc Js

Gabriel Macavoray: 5c 3c (had shoved without looking at his cards).

Kh 7s 9s Kc 4s

Gabriel heads to the rail, and Ian scoops a much needed, and not unsubstantial pot.

Blinds have just gone up to 10k/20k with an ante of 2k.

This hand related to me a while after the event by a member of DTD tourney staff.

Tod Wood raises pre-flop with AA, and Mike Sweeney makes the call.

Flop: KQx

Tod fires a bet out, which is raised by Mike.

Tod shoves all in, and Mike makes the call with TJ

The turn and river brick, and Mike heads to the rail.

Mike Sweeney finishes 5th for £1,600

A huge clash between 3 huge hands!!

Eirimas Livonas raises from the button to 115k.
Raj Dhiri repops to 230k.

Tod wood looks down at the monster Jc 6h, a legendary hand in the land of the BCPC...

After pondering the hero-jam for a while, and obviously considering it, he makes the fold. You can tell he"s a little disappointed by this.

Eirimas shoves all in, and Raj makes the call. The pot totals 3.4m.

Cards on their backs:

Raj: Kc Kd

Eirimas: Ad Kh

4c 9c A s 2c 10d

Raj Dhiri  finishes 3rd for £3,700 and an APAT Bronze Medal

The river is a meaningless 9d.

Well folks, it"s been an incredible five days here at Dusk Till Dawn. 

Thanks everyone for coming and supporting APAT at the WCOAP, and indeed everyone who participated across season six, as we are wrapping that also tonight.  From Matt, Leigh, myself and the wider APAT team, have a great few weeks until we announce season seven and do it all over again!

I"d like to also thank Nick and the DTD team who put on an incredible show for us all year after year.  Every city needs one!

Until, umm....soon.  ;)

Thanks everyone for the support. APAT is awesome. Gutted not to win the title and annoyed with how I played the final hand but overall I"m delighted and congratz to Eirimas for winning the gold and indeed all the FTers. A million thanks as always to Des, Tighty and the team. Sorry I couldn"t bring it home. Still, not a bad couple of days.  ;D

Really looking forward to seeing the recordings of the TV table when they are put up here (within the next 2 weeks). The cash game final table was excellent viewing, and the commentary from Tighty throughout all the FTs I watched was exceptional. Some of the guest commentary was also excellent (I"m very impressed with APAT members knowledge of the different games), and I was laughing my head off at Tony Trippier"s contributions from the FT of the ME (much to the bemusement/annoyance of Des/Ian who couldn"t hear what I was hearing).

Think Vik had it locked, know Chris Webber was close with 2 FTs (2nd in cash and 6th in stud) and a cash in the HU

TBH i thought my 3 cashes woulda put me somewhere close, as in prior years 2 cashes has taken it....not this time
