Post by: IrishTom on November 28, 2015, 14:35:30 PM
From APAT UK Championship (Newcastle) 28 Nov 15


Welcome to the UK Amateur Poker Championship Day 1 here in Aspers Casino, Newcastle, where Lucy Amos will be providing live updates throughout the event.



The dynamic duo of Des Duffy and Leigh Wiltshire will be "playing together" with a live stream trial over the weekend, which we expect to see start after the first break.

A few exits since we began just over an hour and a half ago.

Just waiting on the Casino to collate all the player information and pass it over, updates from then.


We are currently in the last minute of level 2 (blinds 50/100) and will be in level 3 for 45 minutes with blinds at 75/150.

Just to note, David Amos (Pokerpops) has more than doubled his 15k starting stack with the help of Aces twice - once against Kings, and a turned full house with pocket 4"s.

Currently around 35k, nice start, keep it up.
