We lose Derek Liddle at the hands of Grant Mushet
5 limpers in a pot before him, Grant joins them with 97o.
Flop 9K6 rainbow.
Derek leads out for half the pot. Grant min-raises on top. Everyone else folds. Derek min-raises Grant back. Grant repays the favour with another min-raise. Derek min-raises one more time, and Grant finally calls.
Turn is a Jack.
Both insta-check
River 7. Derek shoves all in, and Grant calls.
Grant"s two pairs is good enough vs. Derek"s 86o sending Liddle to the rail.

As the room plunges into a kind of semi darkness, players from Table Dark are told they can more to Table Light.
Is Michehelle still in with her jacket off or outwith her jacket on.
The predicted rash of exits appears to be happening as one more of the Stockton Massive has bust.
Guess who?

Still in. She just called an all in for 5k of her 7k stack with A-K preflop. He had J-J. She flopped a King.
Simples!

Chip count for Don (walk on water) Roberts please.
Jimmy Eck is now up with the echelon of chip leaders. He just eliminated Naz Wrigley and another opponent in the same hand. Eck had Kh Ks, Naz had Ah Jc and the 3rd player had A s Jd. It all went in preflop.
The board ran out 2s 2c 10h Qd 4c and we are 2 players less, with Eck raking in the 50k+ pot.
Chip counts for Steve Roderick and Asa McGrath please
Thanks for the updates.

update on frank bailie
Chip counts for Steve Roderick and Asa McGrath please
Thanks for the updates.
Rodders had 25k when I asked him. Then he found Queens and raised to 725. One of the locals 3-bet to 2200 from the SB and Rodders called. They both checked the A-A-3 flop and the local bet 2500 on the J turn. Rodders called this, then called the 3600 river bet after a 4 peeled off. Queens were good and he now has 33k. He"s sat next to Craig "Zozzy" Dawson who also has around 33k.
Asa has 16.7k and is "card dead".
update on frank bailie
They"ve just gone on their second break so I"ll find him afterwards
Adam, can you check that the Stockton fossil is still awake please. He needs a nudge about now usually. Many thanks, the Stockton massive x
Top 5 chipcounts - and I"m getting an ominous feeling...
Grant Speirs - 60k
Billy McKay - 56k
Andy Whitford - 50k
Alan Horsburgh - 50k

Phil TC has just busted, and with him the hopes of the Stockton Massive as he was the last to go.
He bluff-shoved 99 on an ace high board but his opponent wasn"t folding AJ, although according to Phil "he nearly did!"
Down to 54. There are still 7 levels to play. I think we might just get down to 3 tables by the end.
Meanwhile, Mr Ballie Jr. has waited 40 minutes for a club sandwhich, and is not best pleased. He"s marched off to the bar to complain.

Nope, from the horses mouth. Though I may have missed out a couple of min-raises to be fair.
The break has ended and we are back in business.
As a reminder, we are playing down to 12 players tonight or another 6 x 45 mins levels - whichever comes first.
I"m going to go with the levels... My Mystic Mango prediction is that 21 players will return tomorrow. There are currently 45 left.

WoW..... That's interesting but I should point out a couple of things. Firstly I can only guess that someone has me confused with another player. Secondly I would not know how to min raise and finally, just for the record, my exit hand was AK which I raised pre flop with one caller and got it all in on an A high flop... the flop also happened to be all spades and the caller did happen to have another 2 spades. All in all I played as poorly as usual but had a fun day and did not min raise at any point... :)
Edit: Just figured out who Grant is.... I got moved from that table very early on so I"m not sure who the min raiser was but I"m guessing he took my place at seat 4..... wish I had stayed at that table.... think I would have done better there ;-)
ooops sorry! You are right - it was the player who took your seat. I got the name from the (then out of date) seating list, so mistook him for you.
A shortstacked James Eccles doubled up the last hand of the level with Kings against Zozzy"s threes.

Good Luck to Shug, Eck, Rodders and Mr Murray....all top blokes and APATers :)
Helen Godfrey has doubled through Shug Cairnie when her A-Q won the race against Shug"s J-J all in preflop on a 7-Q-A-3-2 board.
Ben Burnhill is like a yo-yo. Firstly he doubled up Donald Cumming when Donald"s Queens easily held against Ben"s Eights. He then 4-bet shoved over the top of a Grant Mushet 3-bet with A-Q. Mushet held A-K but Ben sucked out on the 8-Q-5-5-7 board to take the pot and stack up 80k.
Davie B has doubled through John Little with A-A vs John"s A-K. No improvement on the board for either player and Davie is now over 80k.
Shug is also on about 50k and grinding...
Grant Mushet is, somehow, out.
He shoved all in with A-T but ran into Steven Tracey"s A-K and got no help on the K-5-8-9-J board. Tracey and Mushet had been battling all day and when the chips were counted, Tracey had a small amount more which sent Mushet to the rail.
Eck has just bust with A-J no good vs Q-Q.
Seat 2: Neil Rankin

Who is everyone cheering on to win?...
Hi Leigh,
Please can you reserve me a seat as well. I am in Ireland for the week before hand and don"t get back to Prestwick till half 1 on the Sat, so it is highly unlikely I"ll be there for the start. If I arrange for someone to pay my entry on the day, will be ok and I can just blind out for first 30 mins/hour maximum?
Thanks
Alan Horsburgh
Alan, you are specifically not allowed to play in this event. Sorry and all that but you"re just too good.
36k utg from Steve Tracey, call from the big stack of Alan Horsbrough. Folded to Rodders on bb, who dons his hood (Jedi stylee), and goes all in for 284k.
Steve T. falls. Alan H dwells, and is thinking about making the call. Rodders states "this is not the call you"re looking for".
Alan then folds.

Rodders plays with his cards disinterestedly (sp?) from the big blind, motioning like he"s about to fold at any moment.
Alan on the button picks up on this, thinks it"s some kind of (poss. Jedi?) trick, and folds. sb also folds.
The hood is currently down.

Rodders loses the force, completely forgetting what the blinds are, but finally settles on a 55k bet from the button (the blinds are still 10k/20k/2k ante btw). The other 2 players are so confused they fold.

James Allen just eliminated an unknown gentleman with 8-8 vs A-J all in pre. James flopped a set which was needed as the flop was 8 high!
Grant Mushet has also just eliminated a short stacked local on a 9-8-K-Q-A board with K-Q vs 8-7 suited all in preflop.
Down to 4 tables with 7 minutes of this level and 2 more levels after this.
Alan Horsburgh (whose name I have spelt incorrectly all day, and who is H-Man81 on the APAT forum)... finishes 1st for £2,285, a Genting Main Event seat, and an APAT Gold Medal!

Looking at my watch at 7pm and thinking of the 4hr drive we had to get back home to Leeds last night, I felt I had to get things moving a bit quicker and decided to make a stand against the over-shove to either make a timely exit or get chipped up to make a late night journey worthwhile! More than happy with the result having started the day with less than 10BB and surviving getting it in bad on most of my showdowns! Sorry, I think we left without saying bye to many people, but everyone had dispersed on the break and we just headed straight off.
Big thanks to Michelle and her staff at Alea who were brilliant without exception and did their utmost to overcome the twilight conditions indoors.
Will use a couple of my Scottish £20"s to play some of the online series this week, although my online results don"t live up to the standard of my live ones unfortunately!
Thanks especially to Grant who I wouldn"t have been playing yesterday without
p.p.s Grant,budget cuts meant there was no trophy this year so get that 1 replaced with a 2 & send the "2012" trophy my way ;-)

Signed up to your forum last night after dealing/TD"n the event over the weekend.
Was a pleasure to be involved over the weekend, good bunch of folk involved who played the game in good spirits. Some good laughs at the tables over the weekend. Great atmosphere overall.
Congrats to the medalists and cashers. Well done to Alan for winning the event, solid through-out and a worthy winner.
Jack
p.s. apologies for the lighting issues
Massive congratulations to Alan. For me the best player won and it was a great game. I cam believe I didn"t super river you in the sitngo though. Let us know how the Genting goes when you play it.
It was a real pleasure to meet you and play that game.

He called the 90K bet Matt, not just my name you got wrong in these posts ;) And I did turn the straight :D As you can tell I"m re-reading the days events!

Played the alea glasgow at the back end of 2010 in a decent sized comp and everyone was complaining about the lighting back then. So I wouldn"t be holding my breath on that one!
Great to see some positive comments about the casino staff, sounds like the alea treated us very well.
