WOOOOOOOOOOOOP VWP Alan  

FYI Alan is a previous APAT FT"er, won $31K on stars at Xmas and has a string of four figure results on Pokerstars in the past 12 months. Who knows what the future holds!!!

[Matt D]

So, that"s another APAT event done and dusted I"m off to have a couple of beers with the winners Adam is off to play poker, having not had enough yet!

All that remains is for us to thank the casino, especially Michelle who has been an absolute legend all weekend

Don"t forget the fun and excitement doesn"t finish here! Next week sees the Scottish Online Series, played on the APAT Online Room. See here for the full low-down of this awesomeness! http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=12163.0

James Allen just eliminated an unknown gentleman with 8-8 vs A-J all in pre. James flopped a set which was needed as the flop was 8 high!

Grant Mushet has also just eliminated a short stacked local on a 9-8-K-Q-A board with K-Q vs 8-7 suited all in preflop.

Down to 4 tables with 7 minutes of this level and 2 more levels after this.

Come on guys, I"m not that unknown,lol. And the flop was Ace high

[Khayless]

Well done to all who played.

Great fun and congrats to Helen ( flush chaser...lol )who was on my dark/light table  and Rodders ( whose mind tricks didnt work on "local" ) who was on my right when i finally got to a " big " table, for both  reaching FT and Rodders getting another medal to boot.

C yas all next year ( with any luck )

Just back from the casino,I only live 10 minutes away but for obvious reasons I stayed back for a few celebratory drinks! Thanks to all of the APAT guys & the Alea for a great tournament,aside from the new variation of poker called "Poker in the Dark" it was a great tournament. Thanks for everyone"s well wishes,tho at one point I thought I was gonna start cheering on Rodders as well :-) Thanks especially to Grant who I wouldn"t have been playing yesterday without & Andy for all his forum support. It"s a bit of a cliche & I"m not saying the money isn"t nice but as someone who has followed APAT from the start & played in a number of these,the Gold Medal means so much more than any sterling :-D Off to bed with it under my pillow!

Thanks all, Alan Horsbrough/Horseborough/Horsesbother ;-)

p.s Look out for Super Blind/Super River poker. Some gents know what I"m taking about but it"s definitely coming to a cardroom near all of us!!

p.p.s Grant,budget cuts meant there was no trophy this year so get that 1 replaced with a 2 & send the "2012" trophy my way ;-)

[Zozzy]

What a great Tournament yet again from Apat. Enjoyed it immensely.
I made a few more friends. Rodders and his Crew great fun.
I got on well with Alan after meeting him for the first time , and yes Alan even before you reached the final table you said to me wouldn"t it be great if I could go around saying

"My name is Alan Horsburgh and I am the Scottish Amateur Poker Champion"

[LombBomb]

Very well done, Alan.

[Logie66]

Another great APAT, congrats to the medal winners and all those that cashed.

Great work by Matt and Adam, watching the chap jump from 127,000ft on Matt's laptop was amazing.

Good to catch up with the usual crowd, it had been far too long !

[AAroddersAA]

Massive congratulations to Alan. For me the best player won and it was a great game. I cam believe I didn"t super river you in the sitngo though. Let us know how the Genting goes when you play it.

It was a real pleasure to meet you and play that game.

[Swinebag]

wp Alan - from the updates it seemed clear the winner would come from you, rodders or zozzy.

well deserved and gl in the genting event
