APAT Irish Amateur Poker Championship 2009 - Live Update - Day One

[TightEnd]

AMRN says hello to Mrs AMRN, apparently my biggest fan!

Being at the Fitz is like stepping back into the pre-computer age, table draw from cards, players names written down on paper

Doing wonders for my sense of order and organisation!

I am with you ... I tipped up Everton at the start of the season for my syndicate ... 30/1

Sadly they laid a bit of it! G"teed profit though.

[AMRN]

You"d better tell AMRN that Mrs AMRN is logged in ready and wish him luck. Makes him feel loved!!

Good luck with the reports Tighty. Look forward to your witty repartee!

[Honeybadg]

Yeah - looking forward to reports!

Any exits yet?

Its the difficulty with the Fitz, 3 floors one of them a mezzanine, not easy to move around and take in the reports, so many stairs too, so I imagine Rich will bring several reports back at once after his walk around the place.

Hi everyone.  As Tighty said, it"s very hot and heavy in the Fitzwilliam today.  Lots of players apparently nursing sore heads from the start of the weekend festivities last night.  The tournament is well underway but with no real action to speak of.  The big screens around the various levels of the cardroom here are showing the Lions and the FA Cup final.  Expect chips to fly when those games finish.

Hey Des

Well we have a hand to report at last, and quite a beauty.

Can"t confirm the sequence of bets, but Gary Martin held  ac kh, Paul Williams   qs with Damian Kent looking a little thin on  jh kh.  The flop delivered an  ah qd x.  The chips went in and it was Kent who filled his straight, knocking both Williams and Martin out.  We"re two down.
