Bayliff: APAT Welsh Online Champion
The first Online Championship event of APAT’s fourth season featured a high quality field and provided a final table packed with some long standing APAT members.
One hundred and forty four players entered the APAT Welsh Online Poker Championship. The $50 buy in gave them all a shot at a $2,500 first prize, Championship title, Gold Medal and an entry to a £1,070 buy in Grosvenor UK Poker Tour event. As normal in Championship events, players started with a 10,000 chip deep-stack and 15 minute blinds.
Within fifteen minutes of the start we had already lost one player as ‘Robmc01’ had fallen foul to the kings full of jacks of ‘Miiiiiikeee’ and after four and a half hours of play, ’Roscopiko’ burst the final table bubble and exited in tenth place. This left the final table line up as follows:
Ayendell (256k)
Adidap (249k)
Squirrel69 (204k)
Marmite3465 (200k)
Bobyrabit (137k)
Suzy666 (131k)
Thinker28 (129k)
CH3LS3A (68k)
SJW1970 (53k)
The first exit on the final table saw ‘SJW1970’ depart in 9th place. Short stacked to start with, the rivered straight of ‘adidap’ won the all-in pre-flop pot, moving ‘adidap’ to over 300k.

The second tournament of the Amateur Poker Association & Tour’s Online Season took place at Blue Square, when 139 players entered the APAT Welsh Online Poker Championship.
The players, including recently crowned UK Amateur Champion Steve Redfern, enjoyed 10,000 starting chips and a structure closely aligned with APAT’s Live Amateur Championship structure.
The first player to exit was ‘chuck2003’, who managed to get his remaining 900 chips into the middle after 23 minutes with King Ten suited, earning a call from ‘Loggie66’ with a pocket pair of Twos. Despite overcards and developing flush opportunities for his opponent, the Twos of Don Logan; playing from Barbados, held up.
The final table was reached after close to four hours and the final ten players lined up as follows:-
Seat 1 – ‘BOINGBLITZ’ – 54k
Seat 2 – ‘MintTrav’ – 34k
Seat 3 – ‘mattblue’ – 125k
Seat 4 – ‘oldham00’ – 58k
Seat 5 – ‘saint1john’ – 137k
Seat 6 – ‘Scooby500’ – 47k
Seat 7 – ‘Ant66’ – 88k
Seat 8 – ‘GB2Loose’ – 325k
Seat 9 – ‘goater1414’ – 180k
Seat 10 – ‘warwickman83’ – 315k
