CARL PILGRIM



There are few players at APAT with a bigger personality than Carl Pilgrim and nobody with a bigger heart.  Carl recorded his first cash at the season 4 WCOAP, with a 6th place finish in the Omaha Championship.  He has scored cashes in every season since.  Season 6 saw Carl rewrite the APAT record books with back to back victories at the UK and European Amateur Championships, topped off with a WCOAP Bracelet winning performance as a member of the English team who won the World Amateur Team Championship.  Carl would finish that season on top of the live event rankings. Medal finishes at the season 7 WCOAP Antes Only Championship and season 8 WCOAP Shootout cemented Carl"s position in our top 10 players of all time.  We would also note that with over £14,000 in prize money, Carl is the highest earner in APAT history.

PAUL MCGUINNESS



Paul established his name on the APAT tour with low scoring cashes in the Scottish, Irish and English Amateur Championships through seasons 2 & 3.  But he came to prominence in season 4, with 4 cashes, the highlight being his captaincy of the victorious Welsh team at the World Amateur Team Championship.  McGuinness also final tabled the WCOAP Horse Championship and Welsh Amateur Championship in the same season to finish the season ranked in APAT's top 5 live players.  Better was to follow in season 5 when the Welsh team regained their World Amateur title under Paul"s captaincy.  The proud Welshman went 3 better in the WCOAP Horse Championship also, securing Gold and his second WCOAP title in two days.  In season 6 he finished runner up at the English Amateur Championship and followed that up with a third WCOAP Horse final table in season 8.

TOD WOOD



2 1 6 5 2.  If you want to get to the top of the APAT rankings quickly, then you need to follow the Tod Wood formula. The Black Country player has "only" cashed 5 times, but yet he sits squarely in the top 10 players of all time, at #8. The formula?  Finish 2nd, 1st, 6th, 5th and 2nd in events with an average field size of 215 players.  Well, we didn"t say it would be easy!?!  Tod took Gold in the season 4 English Amateur Championship to follow his Silver at the previous season"s UK Amateur Championship.  He went on to outlast 447 players at the season 6 WCOAP main event for the Silver medal and a high cash of £5,900.  He is widely liked and respected across APAT for his deep runs and he has been a popular pick by team captains for many seasons now.

DON ROBERTS



Don Roberts may not be able to walk on water, but the likeable Londoner has achieved plenty else since opening his ranking account on the APAT tour in season 2.  His 9 cashes demonstrate a high level of consistency, while 7 final tables and 5 medals demonstrate powerful play at the business end of a tournament.  Don has runner up finishes at the Aberdeen leg of the APAT Pro League in season 3, UK Amateur Championship in season 4 and WCOAP Stud Championship in season 8, but it was his WCOAP Horse Championship victory in season 8 that brought wide celebration amongst the APAT community.  One of the very good guys of poker had got there in the end, his grin wide, his socks dry.

JAMES EDWARDS



James Edwards is one of the "nearly" men of APAT poker.  To achieve the #6 ranking of all time, while having to deal with "nearly" is some achievement.  And James Edwards is some guy.  Without question one of the most sporting competitors in our member base, and this in an organisation which prides itself - insists even - on sporting behaviour.  So why "nearly"?  We have to go back to season 2 and James" first cash.  He outlasted a field of over 200 runners to finish 4th in the first ever WCOAP main event.  Nearly a medal.  He finished 4th in his next event, at the Welsh Amateur Championship of season 3.  Nearly a medal.  He finished 4th in the season 4 English Amateur Championship.  Nearly a medal.  Further cashes would follow at the English, UK and European Amateur Championships, before he final tabled again in last season"s European Amateur Championship.  Where did he finish I hear you ask?  Need you?  4th.  Nearly.  Sandwiched amongst all of those results, James broke though by winning the Aberdeen leg of the APAT Pro League in season 4, for Gold!  His mistake clear to us all....those amateurs are too tough, he needs to step up and play with the pros.
