UK Amateur Poker Championship - Live Updates - Day 2

[Paulie_D]

Players are now on a short break.

Level 21 when we come back - 10k/20k/2k

[Paulie_D]

Final 4 stacks

Carl Norris - 320k
Rob Swindells - 540k
Mike Sharkey - 680k
Scott Berridge - 285k

[Paulie_D]

Play has definitely slowed over the last few minutes..Scott seems to be taking the best advantage of this lack of action having gotten several pushes through.

[Paulie_D]

Feck...I no sooner have I typed that than

Scott pushes again and is called by Mike

Scott     against Mike"s  

Flop      

Turn   has Scott drawing very thin.

River   seals his fate.

Scott now has some spending money for the Degen"s Poker Tour Portugal Extravagana (Invite only).

He trousers £810 but no medal.

Medals are now up for grabs.

[Paulie_D]

Big stacks clashing.

Mike against Rob

Raise pre by Rob called by Mike

Flop      

Rob bets 40k and is called by Mike

Turn  

Mike checks and rob bets 60k which is also called.

River is  , Mike bets 125k and Rob shoves.

Mike asks for a count and it"s another 180k .

He makes the call and Rob shows     for the flopped trips.

I didn"t think Mike would show but he did --    

Wow.

[Paulie_D]

Mikes in action again this time against Car

A pre-flop raise from Carl is met by a shove from Mike which is called.


Carl has   which dominates Mike"s    

There"s an Ace in the window on a       flop.

The turned   is some relief but has Mike needing a miracle

Which doesn"t come -   on the river and we are now heads up.

Mike walks away with a nice new shiny Bronze Medal and a not insignificant £1190 for his trouble.

From APAT Leeds 11 Oct 2014

Level 22 now, co-incidentally - 15k/30k/3k

Heads up and it"s pretty even.

Rob has the slight advantage at just over 1m in chips but Carl isn"t far behind on c.850k

[Paulie_D]

Boom.

Rob and Carl have been at it big styley.

Firstly

Pushes pre-flop and is called by Carl

Rob has an unexpected     and Carl    

1.6 million pot.

Board is          

Rob is left with c.175k but is at a 9-1 disadvantage now.

[Paulie_D]

Secondly

Rob"s not messing around now..not that he can afford to.

All with     and is not surprisingly called by Carl who has    .

The cards come out

        and Rob doubles to 350k.

10 bigs...not great but not bad.

[Paulie_D]

Here we go again..

Rob pushes from the button and is snapped by Carl.

Rob has     but Carl flips     - Dominated!

Flop -       has Rob reeling

Turn -   and a meaningless river   means we have a new APAT UK Champion in Carl Norris.

Another great showing from Rob Swindells who takes the silver and £1825.

From APAT Leeds 11 Oct 2014

Carl, of course, takes home the gold and the bacon with £2815 - and the title of UK Amateur Poker Champion.

Congratulations to Carl played well all day and a very deserved winner. And of course well played Rob, we all know what a great player he is.

[Santino67]

Very well done to all, especially Carl & Rob  

[Mikeyboy9361]

Well played guys, unlucky Rob, well played Carl. A terrific APAT event, thanks to all concerned, see you in Manchester  

[BOINGBLITZ]

Well Done Carl......have to say though I expected "The Legend" that is Mr Swindells to take this one down.

WP Rob.
