APAT Welsh Amateur Poker Championship - Live Update: Day 2

[Matt D]

Come on Claire TID !  

*Duffy ! ( ) (she has 50k).

[Matt D]

Anthony Gale all in with a pair of Tens for 55k. He is called by the of Anthony Spillings, and we"re off to the races.

First card out is a Ten, and Anthony S. congratulates Anthony G.

completes the flop.

The turn is a scare of ...

but the river is a harmless , and AG doubles up.

We are still on le bubble

[Matt D]

There"s been quite a few all-ins and calls, with the short stack winning the confrontation each time.

If anyone reading this (and in the casino) fancies giving a hand observing one of the tables, give me a shout!

[Matt D]

Blinds up to 4000/8000/800. Still 19 players left. The average is 120k.

Chipcount for Craig Dodd please

Craig never actually counts his chips, feeling it to be pointless to do so... But as an estimate I"d say he has 90k. He says he"s enjoying the tournament, and feeling good

As I join his table he makes an under the gun raise to 15.5k which is good enough to take the blinds and antes. He"s now up to 100k (as a guess)

I talked him into playing his first Apat so good to know he is having fun

[Matt D]

The bubble has burst. Details to follow...

[Matt D]

And our unlucky bublee is Liam Oliver. Liam"s shove with A8o for not a lot of chips is called by the AK of Dominic Hine.

Liam doesn"t improve, and the bubble is burst!.

[Matt D]

Duffy has won a large pot. Details to follow...

edit: she hasn"t. It was overheard table banter, that turned out not to be a real event...

[Matt D]

Mark Porter has limped into the prizes with 0.8 of a big blind. He"s since doubled up twice though, so running at about 35k in chips.

This is Dan Crabbe"s 3rd APAT event.

In his first ever APAT event he finished 5th/240 (APAT Team Event).

For his second game, he recorded another Final Table (9th in the Main Event of the WCOAP at Aspers).

He"s marked the occasion of his 3rd game, by making it 3 cashes from 3 attempts - and he"s not done yet... Will he make it 3 final tables from 3?...
