Matt has
Mark has

The board runs out

And we lose Matt from BCPC in 12th place.

[Luthee13]

Not long after, we see Adam Smith push all in and be called by Matt Carter.

Adam has and Matt has

The board comes

And Adam, also from BCPC, hits the rail, finishing in 11th place.

We are now one player away from final table...

[Luthee13]

On the feature table, we see Suranne double up courtesy of Rodders when his pocket 9"s were no match for her on a board. Rodders is still in but has taken a fair battering.


And it isn"t too long after that we have our final table of nine.

Rodders makes a move and goes all in from the cut off for 115k

After the count, Brian Yates makes the call.

We see Rodders turn over
Brian has As

The board runs out

And we lose Rodders from Degen Rodders in 10th place.

[Luthee13]

The players are now going on a 45 minute dinner break whilst everything is readied for the final table.

[Mikeyboy9361]

Another great APAT team event, thanks to all the usual suspects. And well done to team LBPN, justifying both our slots with the A team finishing 6th and the B team 7th. If we had have had that bit of luck today........

[Matt D]

We can now confirm the medal positions!

In third place, and taking home Bronze medals and £1,200 is London Poker Meetup:




In second place, £1,800 the richer, and recipients of a set of Silver Medals is... Midlands Ball Busters.




And our winners, an ecstatically happy Blonde Poker Forum! 26th last year, and so unlucky in this event in years past, they"ve really pulled it out the bag here! Gold Medals and £3,000... Your Champions! Blonde Poker!

[Matt D]

Final table of 9 about to begin. Chip counts are as follows:

[Luthee13]

The final table got underway around fifteen minutes ago and play here is incredibly slow. Small raises pre flop getting through and only two or three flops have been seen...

As I am typing this, the action comes!

Brian makes a raise from the button to 27k

Suranne folds and Geo moves all in for 97k

It folds round to Brian who thinks for a while, counts out the chips and makes the call.

Brian has
Geo has

The flop comes down giving Geo the inside straight draw and including 4 more outs in his favour.

The makes no difference, Geo still needing a queen, jack or ten.

The river brings the and the captain of the winning Blonde poker team, George Dickson, is sent to the rail!

Very well played to him, he will receive £105 to go with his team gold.

[Luthee13]

The players seem to be loosening up a little bit here and we see a little action.

Mark L and Paul tangled with a raise pre, a bet, raise and call on the flop and an all in from Mark on the turn.
Paul thought for a while but folded and Mark added around 220k to his stack.

A few hands later and Matt announces all in from mid position.
It folds to Paul in the big blind who asks "how much?" with a wry giggle and a smile at Matt.
93k more for Paul to call and he hesitantly throws in a chip to make the call.

On their backs: Matt has , Paul has

The board comes out and Matt gets the double up and now has around 240k.

[Luthee13]

Not much later and we see Mark O bet out to 36k and Glen re raise all in.

Mark very quickly calls and turns over
Glen, who has been incredibly quiet til this, turns over

The board comes

And we lose Mark Oldfield in 8th place, well played to him, he takes £160 to go with his Bronze team medal.

[Luthee13]

So, still fairly quiet here, small raises pre flop either getting through or being met with resistance and folding before a flop.

Glenn has been remarkably quiet and, I believe has only played aces all in, but the rest are fairly even in taking turns at taking the blinds.

[Luthee13]

And again, as soon as I start typing the action starts!

Suranne makes her first move of the final table and min raises pre flop.
Matt immediately to her left moves all in.
Martin then asks for the count, 224k, re raises all in over the top.
It folds round to Suranne who reluctantly folds.

Matt has

Martin shows

The flop comes down with a little hope for Matt with meaning he has some draws as well as the two over cards to Martin"s 9"s.

The turn is , no help nor hindrance

And the river is a very insignificant As

We lose Matt Carter in 7th place. Well played to him, he will go home with £205 more in his back pocket and a Bronze team medal for his cabinet.

[Luthee13]

Still not a lot to report here, Brian increased his stack somewhat courtesy of Mark and Suranne has gotten two pre flop all in shoves through so has increased her stack nicely by collecting the blinds and antes there.

We are currently in Level 21, blinds are 10k/20k with an ante of 2k meaning that there is 42k in the pot to be taken in blinds and antes.

[Luthee13]

Glenn pushes all in pre flop and under the gun.

Mark Lassman, next to act, counts out the call and makes it.

It folds to Paul in the big blind who thinks for a while and announces "you"re normally so tight" sighs and folds.

Glenn shows
Mark has

Mark is extremely pleased and slams the table at the good read and call.

But the flop soon ends his pleasure and swiftly delivers and Glenn takes a lead.

The turn is the and gives Mark a few more outs with the inside straight draw.

But the river is the and Glenn doubles through again.
