[TightEnd]

This lot aren"t hanging around

Chipleader Fedorov makes it 30,000 in the cut off into Hein, second chipleader"s big blind

He calls

flop  

Hein check calls a 70,000 continuation bet from Non Limp Bizkit

On the  js Hein immediately announces "ALL IN", a big overshove

Non Limp Bizkit folds with a smile

Odd way of playing a hand from Hein, what do we put him on there?

Arev Meeksa shoves all in pre-flop with  AJ

Martin Hein reshoves all in with  KK

Flop
A106

turn

Rajko raises in early position, Marillis shoves on the button

80k more into a 130k pot he calls for half his stack with A-9

Marrillis has A-J

It holds, she doubles through

Our chip leaders Martin and Vadim are going to war and have just played another 70k chip pot.

I think a massive pot with these two is due very shortly.

[TightEnd]

One more to keep both sides happy

Payout Structure

Decided with the Venue director to use a standard payout structure, with his guidance. No long term reasoning, just easier to sort out this weekend with a lot of runners, and a lot of those (ie 171 out of 180) new to APAT.

An odd [better, imo] pay structure for an APAT event?

?

i think Alan is pointing out that the pay-out structure is not as flat as is usual in the UK based APAT comps.

Usually this is a function of having to fit in with the casino"s requirements.

It"s a matter of taste... I prefer the flatter payouts as it encourages play...but opinions differ.

Final table scene

[jbworldwide]

Leemet Priits shoves A8 from the SB

Vadim Fedotov in BB has AJ and calls

Board runs QQ1022 and it is chopped up

[jbworldwide]

Very next hand Leemet Priits gets all in with KQ against Marillis A5

the board runs

10 7 8 2 3

and Leemet Priits is eliminated in 9th place.

[jbworldwide]

Any more photies/reports on the Brits? Just in case final play slows down a little

no chance of this for 2 reasons;

a) This final table is moving very fast
b) most of them are in the Old town now drinking

Hardly valid reasons.

180 isn"t a lot of runners for an APAT tourney... and if the regular payout structure is "right", then it should be right every time. We were all "new to APAT" at one point.

Next thing you know they"ll making deals at the final table!
