APAT Irish Amateur Poker Championship LIVE UPDATE - FINAL DAY

[Des]

Roy"s a good lad and a big sports tipster I believe.  He had some big results in his day of course, but of the last 24 it"s Scott Gray who has the greatest single achievement finishing 4th in the 2002 WSOP main event.

Best of luck to all players today, particularly the travelling contingent.

Stu Ward is also out.

He is not very happy at all...walked past muttering "how the **** did the ****** call my ******* re-pot pre with ten-ten-eight-four, the ******* ************* ******...."

You get the jist.

Adam, I think you need your ears syringing if you thought that was muttering

The players are just starting to take their seats and unbag their chips as we get ready for the 12pm start. Blinds will be 1500/3000 and the TD has rolled the clock back so we have a full 30 minute level to begin with.

Amazingly enough the bar does not open until 12.30pm today! Needless to say there are some disgruntled APAT travellers waiting...

Scott Gray has doubled through Anton Nestresko with K-K-5-2 against Anton"s T-T-J-7 all in preflop despite sweating the 9-2-8 flop. A four on the turn and another four on the river were enough to send the pot the way of the 2002 WSOP final tablist and put him up to 50k.

Still 24 left but, more importantly, the bar is open.

Michael Mason is out in 24th.

Asa McGrath raised UTG to 8k, only to see Willo Connolly, Anton Nestresko and Mason call. The flop was and Mason, first to act, open shoved his remaining 23k. McGrath then isolated with a pot sized raise and the other 2 players folded their hands.

McGrath -
Mason -

Mason was drawing dead to running Kings or sixes as Asa had flopped top set with the one remaining queen, and was out the door as the turn hit. The river was the meaningless , sending the pot Asa"s way and meaning we are one player closer to the money.

Asa McGrath - 200k.

Willo Connolly has patiently grinded her short stack since the start of the day, and got it all in preflop for a 25k pot with T-Q-T-5 against Gabor Gelleri"s J-8-8-5. The flop of A-T-2 was overkill and the 5 turn saw Gabor drawing dead.

Willo Connolly - 25k

[KarmaDope]

Pat Flood is out in 23rd.

Noel Mitchell had raised UTG to 10k and got 2 callers in Flood and Mark Lassman. The flop came and Mitchell led for 15k. Lassman called only to see Flood shove all in for 40k. Mitchell pretty quickly repotted and Lassman eventually folded with a grimace on his face.

Mitchell had and Flood was ahead with but the on the turn was a bad card despite improving Flood"s hand. The on the river was the deal breaker, giving Mitchell Broadway and sending Flood to the rail.

Noel Mitchell - 300k.

Richard Baker has eliminated Willo Connolly in 22nd. They got it all in blind on blind preflop, with Willo"s ahead against Baker"s , but Baker won the hand after turning two pair on a board.

Richard Baker - 110k.

[KarmaDope]

Sandy Burke has been eliminated in 21st. No hand details unfortunately.

[KarmaDope]

Colin Wilson has not had a good start today. Firstly, the bar was closed. Secondly, he is under 100k and John Donnelly appears to be the beneficiary, as he is over 200k from his 87500 starting stack today.

[KarmaDope]

Colm Faulkner is our runaway chip leader as he has just KO"d John Donnelly in 20th. No hand details unfortunately, but the hand puts Faulkner over 500k and leaves us with 19 left.

Blinds are now 2500/5000.

Gabor Gelleri is out in 19th. He got it all in preflop against Anton Nestresko holding , but  sadly for him, Anton had and this held on the board.
