APAT Advent Calendar 2009

A star is born


Back in August a big APAT story unfolded.  Here it is with a slight "advent calendar" twist.


Paul had been looking for a place in the WCOAP Omaha event, but had been told there was no room at the inn.  Not feeling too worried, Paul decided to head to DTD anyway and stumbled across a friendly looking innkeeper.



This innkeeper said that he knew a lot of the players and was convinced it wouldn"t take long for a space to become available and Paul would be able to settle in for the night.

And so it was proven, Paul got the second and last available extra seat and he got himself comfortable for the night.  It wasn"t your usual nativity type scene.  No donkeys or other animals, well apart from plenty of fish.



And what a night it was for Paul.  He was an APAT virgin, and struck gold.  Not content with this success, he decided to come back two days later and try his luck again.  Did a deal with the innkeeper from above, and got himself a space.

Once more he was lavished with gifts of great cards and chips being donated from everywhere and he made enough to return for day two.  However, this is where it all went wrong.  He was visited by three wise men, who instead of bringing gifts, decided to take away Gold, Silver and Bronze.





So Paul had to be content with 10th place and a bubble.


But at DTD an APAT star was certainly found and Paul went on to repeat his success in the English Online Championships.  Was there no end to the poker talents of Paul Pitchford.  Well, this is what he had to say on the whole subject.

Paul will be playing in the Champion of Champions event at the G Casino Luton on the 5th and 6th of December along with all the APAT champions from this year.

So good luck to you all, follow the thread HERE

It was the beginning of the year that Don Logan started his blog entitled "One Winter of English Cricket".  On his return from following England in the Caribbean it became "One Winter and Once Summer of English Cricket".

Well he"s off on his travels again, this time to South Africa, so now we have Two Winters and One Summer of English Cricket

This time Don is armed not only with a digital camera and his amazing writing style, but also he has a camcorder with the aim of some video blogging.

The thread has already had nearly 7,000 reads, and I"m sure this winter will add to that.

Here"s the interview Des did with Don prior to his last trip.  He had made it through to Day Two of the APAT UK Championships in a frozen Walsall.  Can you sense he was looking forward to the Caribbean ?

[MintTrav]

Excellent work Leigh; you"ve surpassed yourself this time. Think there was something about cricket, but I didn"t get that far.

God bless Don Logan and his digital camera!
