APAT European Amateur Poker Championship Live Update

sound gone

[TightEnd]

Right we are underway here, with 149 runners in the £75 Amateur Championship, so far.

Pictures and seat draw coming, and Maylis currently on the live feed


The Pro event starts at 3pm and currently has 6 runners. Not bad a 1 in 6 chance of a GUKPT seat for £250 currently, though no doubt a few more players will be along soon. A triumph of optimism from me as usual.


Lovely casino, nice friendly dealers..should be a good two days

Picture on live feed is grand and smooth but sound keeps chopping in and out...mostly out.

Caught my first monster pot of the tournament

Andy Hall has raised pre-flop and APAT Scottish Champion Scott Wilson has called him in the big blind

Flop  tc qd Wilson leads, Hall raises, Wilson calls. 5,000 in the middle now

Turn  td Wilson check raises Hall all-in and d Hall has a very tough decision judging by the length of time he takes to call wih  ks kc

On their backs for a near 20,000 pot

Wilson has  jd jh, and Hall has some of his outs

River  kd and Hall felts Wilson

Actually sound is grand when she"s in the main room but goes once ye head to the side area with the mic.  Out of range maybe?

Yes noted. She is now tethered to the camera.

Is that Simon Alcock on the feature table?

Tell him to turn round, give us a wave then make sure he brings another medal back to Norfolk!

Did Frank Bailie make it ?  he was stuck in Dublin airport all morning  

[TightEnd]

Michelle Bricknell and Andrew Duncan both call a small raise

flop 3-3-5

Duncan and Bricknell both call a continuation bet

Duncan leads the turn, Bricknell calls

All the chips fly in on the river

Duncan with 3-3 for flopped Quads beats Bricknell with 5-5 for the flopped house.

Cowabunga!

Bricknell out, and into the £250 event
