Our first all in...on a board of  Kc Qs 3h 10c 7d, Chris Webber slides his remaining £62.50 forward after Clive Moore had bet £15 into what looked about a £25 pot - Clive deliberated and called, showing K7 for two pair....Chris happy though with J9 for a turned straight

Hand action from Table 1 as we approach the end of the first hours play :

Rob Finch raises UTG to 2:50 - gets calls from Mark Briggs, John Murray and Stuart Oliver.

The flop is  2d 2h 5d - Rob is undeterred and fires £8 into the pot. Mark calls - both John and Stuart fold - John eyeing Rob very suspiciously.

The turn is  10s. Rob toys with his sizeable stack and carefully plucks out £11. This is enough for Mark who mucks.

Rob Finch takes down a nice pot.

Really is a great poker room here in Coventry - and it seems plenty of APATers are in the area ready for tomorrows Main Event.

A few have jumped in the local MTT which started here at 20:30 - some here just to have a social lemonade....though i was warned in a distinct American accent...."its gonna get messy real soon" - anyone guess who that came from? ;D

Tonight, commencing at 21:00, we will have Leg 1 of the Cash Tour Championship - an exciting and unique concept that made its initial appearance at the 2013 WCOAP


Brighton S5?


Wasn"t a tour Matt but a new concept.. It now is a tour so I believe it"s "unique" in that form ..

(confused?)


I agree it"s unique Carl, I was saying the initial appearance was Brighton Season 5.


i stand corrected - apparantly this had already been done pre the WCOAP earlier this year - my apologies - i thought i remembered being told that was the first time it had been ran. Seems not - so apologies for any confusion.


No apologies needed Mark, especially not that many  ;)

very much the grind here - players knowing that half the field ish will make the Final Table - and over half of them will score vaiuable Ranking Points. Charles Mason has not had a good run of cards - or maybe flops/boards is more accurate - and he is certainly amongst the low stacks of the tournament.

more Table 1 action....

a big 4 way pot develops between Rob Finch, Mark Briggs, Michael Richards and Glenn Richardson

not much in the way of pre flop action, but on a board of  7c 4c 6s, it was checked to Glenn who bets £2.50 - Rob raises to £8, Mark re raises to £17, Michael folds, Glenn calls, Rob calls

The turn is a  3d - Mark shoves for around £60 - Glenn snaps him off, Rob folds. After the count, Glenn has just over £40 and shows  Kc 10c - Mark sitting pretty with  7d 7h.

Alas for Mark the river is  Ac and Glenn takes the pot, leaving Mark rueing his luck....and his stack now decimated - he has about £18 left.

Who says it only ever happens online.......

all action on Table 1 with John Murray and Stuart Oliver low stacked...

Dann Williams raises mid position and Stuart duly shoves - Dann thinks and calls the remaining £27 , tabling T9 - in a bad way against Stuarts AA. And they hold, although the turn did bring Dann a straight draw.

This decimates his stack and, slightly tilting I believe (!), he raises the next pot to £3. Stuart calls (to his chagrin), as does Rob Finch, Mark Briggs and Michael Richards.

The flop is A44 and Dann checks wearily...Stuart bets out, Rob raises, Mark calls, Michael re raises, Stuart folds, Rob folds, Mark announces all in, Michael calls.

After a swift debate whether cards should be shown or not (is it cash, is it a tournament!), the cards are tabled - Mark showing AJ and at risk - Michael having K4. The turn is a King, the river a blank, and Mark Briggs is gone in 17th place.

A lovely pot for Michael - but chip leader here is Gordon McArthur - sitting very pretty on around £230.

Dann WIlliams and John Murray remain very much up against it.
