APAT Welsh Amateur Championship 2009 - Live Update - Day One

[TightEnd]

That"s all folks (until tomorrow anyway).

They"re counting the chips and bagging them up.  We"ll have chip counts soon.

[TightEnd]

We had an exciting last hand of the evening.

Jeldon Fernandes pushed with AQo, called by JJ and Judi Edwards called, with....wait for it......it"s a monster......J7-spades.

Flop:

Turn:

ks

...and Judi delivers the kiler punch to send Fernandes to the rail and having to decide what he"ll be doing with his Sunday.

So Steve Redfern is OUT then ??!!

the last level is manic, Steve was gambling like mad to get a stack for tomorrow and perished right near the end

Impossible to keep up with all the action!

[BOINGBLITZ]

Exactly as he said he would !!
He will win the BCPC "Last-longer" bet of £120.....IF Maxine McKinlay  makes the money tomorrow !

Good Luck to both Max and to Will Young who is another prospective new BCPC member. He came over and introduced himself after I was knocked-out and he had impressed me with his play during the evening session. I think this kid could be an outsider tomorrow in this tourney.

Commiserations to Steve, but he will be back.

just to say a great thankyou to the guys at apat.had a great time despite going out 30 something with 2p v trips when short.met some great people and had a good laugh with jack,rudders,dan,jon oneil and alan, wasnt too upset when knocked out after the many ciders and sambuca/jaegerbombs (thankyou rich and dan) but i now feel awful.had a good giggle  and a chat with paul turnstill and rudders a about 2am but forgot i had to get up at 8am this morning.good luck to those left in and i look forward to the next one.paul or jon oneil to win it from here.remember jon if you start playing badly,drink more and move all in blind.it worked well yesterday and seems an excellent strategy to me lol. ah ac

Actually still had a (very small) handful of chips left at the end but have had to forfeit my seat due to a family illness. Had 38k going into the last hand, but suspected I wouldn"t be able to return for Day Two, so threw them in blind UTG in final hand.

So, even though the listing doesn"t show it, I have indeed made day two in every live national this season so far

yeo colin mate good work makin last 27! gl for today! take it down for belfast lol

[wilfuljoker]

Great updates Tighty but just for Ben"s benefit - I shoved with the new nuts (J7 suited) and got called by raggy AQo (as if...) and a weedy pair of Jacks.   No contest!  This was even more interesting cos after AQ called all in he then discovered some more chips in his pocket which had to be removed from the tournament.  In his confusion he then turned over his cards with the BB (with the Jacks) still to act. Well it was the last hand of the night and we were all hanging.  Man with the Jacks could see I was miffed at seeing the AQ and obviously thought he had me beat and with a race against the AQ it was deffo worth a call. 

Having been down to one BB only an hour earlier I"m sure I"ll be just as cavalier with my chips on Day 2.  See you all later.  Judi xx
