Season One Champion Crowned
« on: February 18, 2008, 22:00:17 PM »
Many congratulations to Kevin Shutt who has been awarded a walkover by Mark Donnelly in the shootout to decide the Season One Rankings title. 

It is unfortunate that Mark could not complete the final event for personal reasons, but Kevin is a very deserving winner; and while I"m sure he would have preferred to have completed the final fixture, in reality he was an innocent bystander as APAT and Mark tried to arrange this fixture over the last six weeks.

Kevin had an outstanding Season One and his ranking points scoring record was as follows:-

Canadian Open - Silver
English Amateur Championship - 16th
French Open - Bronze
UK Amateur Championship - 16th
WCOAP Omaha - 5th
WCOAP Razz - 6th
OnLive Championship - 6th

With seven scoring events across both live and online (to Mark"s three live), Kevin has had an incredible season and is a very worthy APAT player of the year. 

He will go on to represent us all in the European Poker Tour event in San Remo in early April, where we wish him the very best of luck.

Seems a shame for it to be decided this way.

But well done to Kevin, a well deserved winner considering his performances all year.

Yes, but ultimately it was Mark"s decision so Kevin can be extremely proud of his achievement.

Many congratulations Kevin - truly an all rounder; live, online, hold"em, razz, omaha.

I"m sure both Mark and Kevin will again be "up there" fighting for the title come the end of season two.

Good luck in San Remo.

Well played Kevin.  Good consistency shown throughout the season from start to finish. 

Enjoy the EPT in Italy, and look forward to following you on the final table.

I play poker with Kev in our local poker league and class him as a good friend. All i can say about the guy is what a fantastic winner and great representative he is for amateur poker.

He is allways helpfull and treats the game and the other players with the respect they both deserve.

Well done Kev and good luck in Italy
