Parker: Win For Leeds
Central Division, Matchday 11: Leeds Poker Club stole a march on their opposition for the Championship in the Central Divison of the APAT National League. Club player Wayne Parker took the individual honours with his second divisional win but it was weight of numbers that gave the three match points to Walsall Poker Club, who now go joint second in the divsion with Birmingham and Manchester.
Andrew Duncan (2nd), Paul Foy (3rd) and Marc Ward (5th) starred for Walsall. Parker’s result was good enough for Leeds to secure two match points, leaving the final match point to Manchester Poker Club, thanks to Rob Swindell’s (6th) and Chris Vickers (7th). The fact that Swindells was on his way to securing a $95,000 payday in the PokerStars Sunday Warm Up at the same time made his achievement in finalling all of the more remarkable.
After eleven matches, Leeds lead the division with 16 points. Birmingham, Walsall and Manchester are joint second with 13 points with Liverpool four points back on 9. Sheffield, Blackpool, Bolton, Nottingham and Stoke now appear out of the running for league honours this season. However they will still be looking to secure a position in Division Two of the league in Season Four.
