Central European Online Champion:  Warren JonesThe 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.

Within the first thirty minutes we had lost the APAT Season 3 Online Rankings winner, Brian Yates, and a steady list of players followed. With 25 players left, recent Welsh Online winner Steve ‘marmite3465’ Bailiff was still in the hunt on 42k, whilst the chiplead was being fought out between ‘KGB486’, ‘Sanky’ and ‘Mongoose61’ who were up around the 80-90k mark.
