Chen Tam was in the big blind with 5-2

What could go wrong?


Well, Andrew Calladine limped with Aces

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-buZVhPqTbNk/Tto48US258I/AAAAAAAAuP0/eNezDWI6q-8/s512/IMG_9656.JPG)


and the flop came A-2-5

J on the turn

5 on the river

Two stacks fly in on the river in a flummoxed flurry of Full House related fantasies

Chen loses to Aces full

Chatting to a few of the local staff

"Our players are fierce"

"Fierce?" I reply

"Yes, they want to get a stack quick or else go and play cash or the evening comp"

I cross check this with a few APATers, and they confirm that loose aggressive is the order of the day

So far, the locals are winning, with many APAT regs in the bar.....

A couple of snippets from the feature table:-

We lost Mark Lassman ten minutes ago. 

Holding the 8s 5s, his chips went in on a flop of 10 10 A, with 2 spades.

Gary Phillips was holding 10 9, for the flopped set.

The 9s brought shortlived dual celebrations as Lassman realised that his nut flush had just been counterfeited by Phillips" full house.

Gary is up to 19k.

---

Chris Michail has joined the table in seat 3.

---

Donna Barstow doubled up, her Ace King holding against Charles Kearns Ace Queen, an Ace on the flop.

Donna is still relatively short at 5" 5", but 9k chips is a consolation of sorts.

---

Charles Mason took an interesting and valuable pot versus Grant Spiers.

Spiers raised to 535 pre flop, and called Mason"s reraise to 900.

The flop brought the   Ah   6d   4h and both players checked.

The turn brought the 9h

Mason bet 1300, which was called by the current Scottish Amateur Champion, Spiers.

The river brought the 3h and both players checked on the end, where"s Mason"s pocket Kings (1 a heart) gave him the nut flush.  The anticipated raise failed to materialise from Spiers, who held two pair, but Mason still scooped a sizeable pot.

---

Charles Mason took another significant pot with a nut flush against Asa McGrath, Asa bluffing on the river in a pot of around 8k, with the board double paired.

you gaine chips in the colour ups not lose them

there will prob be a simple explanation
A you have added them up wrong
B THE PLAYERS DID THERE OWN COUNT AND GOT THEM WRONG
C a local added more chips to the table
D tighty typing error
E the dealers added them up wrong
F i cant belive you added them all up

G Its 119 players not 120, one player the chips were in play twice (name on the system twice)  ::)

Not true. It"s (as always) site dependent. Some places round down when colouring up e.g. many in vegas - but here I agree we mostly round up.
If they round up in Manchester then we gained 9,650 chips during colour ups. Almost a full buy in. Almost impossible.

Oh and it took less than 10 secs to add up - MS Excel FTW.

This still leaves +10K chips, because you dropped a player. 119 x 10K + 10K = 1,200,000 chips but we have 1,209,650 chips in play.

Would make more sense if 120 is correct, but you had 121 players chips in play due to the duplicate name?

flop  5c 8c 3h

Three stacks all in

Gee Maker has led from the big blind with  4c 7c

Andrew Thompson has raised with  Ac 6c

George Downie in the small blind has check raised all in with  Kc 3c

So only 8 of 13 clubs out then

Maker calls all in for what he thinks is value

Ks on the turn takes Downie ahead

Qc on the river sends the pot to Thompson and Maker out 13th

just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the tournament as always. I haven"t been able to log in to my account recently so hope you don"t think I was being unsociable.
I managed to reach last two tables and foolishly/bravely took on the tourney chip leader in a race pre .

thx again

So ten left and the short-stacks are Jason Jones, Simon Walmsley and Steve Harrison, but all with 30x bb or so

As we"ve hit this stage earlier than normal, its reasonable to expect lots of play in stacks at some point. Likely to be now as obviously reaching the final is a big thing here

Congratulations to "The Quad Rocket" well-deserved win, thoroughly enjoyed the tournament and especially some of George"s passionate celebrations when those rockets landed, clearly meant a lot to get that Apat medal. Also Mr Zhang who was like Ming the Merciless with his huge stack of chips, really good guy though and a lot of fun to play with along with John Anderson (not formerly of Yes), who had some really entertaining duels with him... also well done to Laura, only played with her briefly on the final table but a great effort to get so close. Thnx to all the Welsh support, maybe Jason and I will learn how to play KK in time for Brighton. Another great Apat weekend, big thnx to Tighty and Des and the G Casino team and everyone else who made it well worth the trip to Manchester. Roll on Brighton, where I"ll expect to see Slim Charlie Sheen in a Bjork T-shirt... or will that be at the Apat European Open in Iceland in Season 6.... to be announced soon!
