Bristol Poker Club Captain Suzanne Hayward
Bristol Poker Club; under captain Suzanne Hayward, have won Division One of the APAT National Online Poker League. At the end of a ten match season, only one match point separated Bristol from runners up Cardiff and 2009 Champions Walsall. South London, Glasgow and Leeds were relegated to Division Two. Four members of the Bristol team will now go forward to represent APAT in the GUKPT Champion of Champions Tournament later in the year.
Division Two was won by Solent Poker Club, by one match point from Stockton-on-Tees with Birmingham in third. All three clubs have won promotion to Division One. Brighton, Dundee and North London Poker Clubs have been relegated to Division Three. Sunderland Poker Club took the Division Three title and will be joined in Division Two next season by Luton and Nottingham.
Four members of the successful Solent club will play in the APAT Professional League in Nottingham in August, while four members of the Sunderland club will play in the World Amateur Championship main event in Nottingham in August.

Charlie Curtis: Scottish Winner
The latest leg of APAT’s fourth season online featured seventy nine players in another high quality field of APAT players entered into the APAT Scottish Online Poker Championship. The $50 buy in ensured they all had a chance at winning the $2,500 first prize, Championship title, Gold Medal and an entry to a £1,000 buy in Grosvenor UK Poker Tour event.
As with all APAT Online Championship events, players started with a 10,000 chip deep-stack and 15 minute blinds.
As the bubble burst, the final table was full of some very familiar APAT names. UK Online winner Warren ‘Tyl3rDurden’ Jones was still in the mix alongside UK PLO and season 3 European Amateur Champion, Stuart ‘fatcatstu’ Ward. Andy ‘each it’ Heath was making back to back final table appearances and he was joined by Jack ‘sambarnbrac’ Prime, who is no stranger to an APAT final table, both online and live.
Warren Jones Wins Central European Online Title

The next instalment of APAT’s fourth season featured ninety players in another high quality field of APAT players entered into the APAT Central European Online Poker Championship. The $50 buy in gave them all a chance at winning the $2,500 first prize, Championship title, Gold Medal and an entry to a £1,000 buy in Grosvenor UK Poker Tour event.
As with all APAT Online Championship events, players started with a 10,000 chip deep-stack and 15 minute blinds.
For the third tournament in a row, Welsh Online Winner Steve ‘marmite3465’ Bailiff was in the points, finishing in 13th place having been in the top five for most of the tournament. The final table bubble was a drawn out affair. Eventually the chips went in between ‘TONYTRIPPS’ and ‘duke999’ for a 180k pot. Duke9999’s two pair of Jacks and Sixes was enough and left ‘TONYTRIPPS’ with 1700 chips.
Then we watched an incredible fightback from ‘TONYTRIPPS’. With his stack now increased to 33k, all the chips went in against ‘flopmonster’, who’s AJ had ‘TONYTRIPPSS’ A9 totally dominated. A jack on the flop finished it, and ‘TONYTRIPPSS’ bubbled in 10th place.
This left the final table line up as follows:
Duke9999 (176k)
Crankmaster (138k)
MCFC97 (113k)
Max4matt (108k)
GRINTLER (93k)
Cormach (68k)
Flopmonster (64k)
Each it (55k)
Tyl3rDurden (8k)
The final table action was slow to start with. ‘Tyl3rDurden’ managed to gather chips to not be left quite so short stacked, then after about 45 minutes of play , there were to quickfire exits.
