From APAT UK Championship (Newcastle) 28 Nov 15
Welcome to the UK Amateur Poker Championship Day 1 here in Aspers Casino, Newcastle, where Lucy Amos will be providing live updates throughout the event.
The dynamic duo of Des Duffy and Leigh Wiltshire will be "playing together" with a live stream trial over the weekend, which we expect to see start after the first break.
Small problem with dealers at present, so we have elected for a 30 min delay whilst we round up a few locals who can shuffle and throw the cards... so a 3pm start.

Later than expected and with a few hiccups but, we are in full shuffle up and deal mode and the chips and cards are flying as always.
There are currently over 120+ entries and late entry is running to and including the first break.
Good luck to everyone taking part today :)
Let"s go...

A few exits since we began just over an hour and a half ago.
Just waiting on the Casino to collate all the player information and pass it over, updates from then.
We are currently in the last minute of level 2 (blinds 50/100) and will be in level 3 for 45 minutes with blinds at 75/150.
Luthee13:
Just to note, David Amos (Pokerpops) has more than doubled his 15k starting stack with the help of Aces twice - once against Kings, and a turned full house with pocket 4"s.
Currently around 35k, nice start, keep it up.
