Join us from 2pm for day 1a of the World Championship Of Amateur Poker Main Event withe an expected 250+ runners. We also have more side event action, with the HORSE Championship at 2:30pm followed by the highly anticipated World Amateur Cash Championship at 6pm.
We will be live streaming one of the cash tables later in the day. Keep an eye on this thread for a link.

Main Event is underway - we are currently at 233 starters for Day 1A - all players get a juicy 15,000 starting stack, with blinds starting at 25/50 on a 30 minute clock...as yes, we have lost a player!
Robert Dean is first man down - we didnt capture his exit hand - but it was good/bad enough to lose 15k!!!
More exits and key hands, with chip counts, as they happen.
The HORSE event is also off and running....the runners cantering through the Holdem Level with no casualties so far at the first fence
-
News reaches us of an early exit.
Kevin O"Hanlon sees a flop of 794 versus 2 opponents. Leading out, he"s met by a raise to 750, and another to 1750. He repops it to 3250 which is met by 1 fold, and 1 call.
The turn is an 8.
Kevin shoves for 6250 all-in. His opponent calls with TT.
"No Ten! No Ten!" says Kevin...
The river is indeed a Ten.
Kevin is out, and has quickly taken advantage of the HORSE late reg.
-

Flop comes down ad1 10h 7d - Saifon checks, S5 bets 800, Saifon calls
Turn is 7d
Both Check
River is Kd
Saifon fires 1500 - S5 mucks before the chips have touched the felt.

And we"ve lost yesterday"s High Roller Silver Medalist, Alistair Cairns, from the Main Event.
Retelling his exit as running Nines into Queens, he says he couldn"t do a thing right today.
Here he is pictured in happier times:

Jon MW says "I"ve had worse starts at APAT, but that"s because I"ve been out by the first by the first break".
He"s down to 6k from his 15k starting stack.
-
HORSE made 40 runners and a prizepool of £2,000.
Our first two exists are:
39 Martin Smith
40 John Burberry

Two well known APATers head to the rail in the Main Event:
218 Stuart Oliver
219 Peter Thorpe

Table 66 Action
Barry Carter in mid position pumps it up to 450 - called by Alastair Carins on the HiJack and Bruno Rilho from the BB
Flop comes down Ah Kh 2c
Bruno checks, Barry checks, Alastair bets 550.....Bruno raises to 1125....Barry folds.
Alastair re pops to 3550, to which Bruno calls.
Turn is 5h
Bruno instantly announces all in.....Alastair isnt far behind in making the call - Bruno just has Alastair covered.
Bruno shows 8h 9h, Alastair shows Ks Kd
Alastair needs the case King or the board to pair - but its a very dry 8s and Bruno eliminates Alastair
-
Great festival so far, but the HORSE schedule was terrible. Level 3 in HORSE was equivalent to level 6 of Thursday"s stud event and the starting stacks were the same. Second one out and I feel I"ve wasted £55. I"m extremely tight, barely played a hand and because nothing I had held up I got effectively blinded away. Won one pot in the first level of hold em. So frustrated.
Roll on the PLO!
-
ul. Good luck in the plo ;D
-
Chips flying about the place on Table 48 in a clash between Mike Sweeney and Rod Phillips - the board eventually shows :
8c Qd 10c 6c Qs
After the river came down, MIke announces all in for around 7k - Rod has him covered but a decision to make....he counts out his chips and after considering things for a while longer, makes the call.
Mike immediately says you win - and tables AJ - but then changes it to a fairly dry, but sincere "wow, nice call" as Rod shows JT to take the pot.
Mike Sweeney eliminated

I spoke to a number of players at the first break as per our conversation Martin, and while they felt it was a bit fast in the opening two levels, generally they are saying its fine now. It should run ten hours, so we"ll keep an eye on it throughout.
Anyway, that aside, sorry to hear you didn"t enjoy the event - we never like to hear that - and hope you have a much better run in the PLO.
-
Table 21 action - get there just as we get to showdown - Vaino Tiik has a decision whether to call the shove from Simon Allen - "go on then" is the decision from Vaino - which he immediately regrets as Simon flips 44 for a Full House - 4s full of 2s. Vaino shows QQ - an overpair to the board.
This decimates his stack and next hand he is eliminated.
Over on Table 31 and Ashfaq Raja has raised to 1100 which Yung Hon Ngan calls. The flop is Jh 4h 9c - Yung checks, Ashfaq bets 1250, Yung calls.
Turn is 2d - check, check - River is Jd - again both check.
Ashfaq tables AKs, which is obviously good enough for Yung, who mucks his hand.

Dann Williams busto in the HORSE event.
It all went to pot in the PLO round, where he had a nasty hobbit of making the nuts on the turn, only to be outdrawn on the river.

Good luck all!

Hand Action :
Table 68 - Mary Martin v Andy Galloway :
Mary raises pre to 600 to which Andy calls
3h Qs 9h flop - Mary fires another 600 to which Andy calls
Turn is 8c - Mary"s second bullet costs Andy 1300
River is 9s - Mary bets for 1600 this time - Andy makes the call
Mary shows 10d 9d
Andy Ks Qh
-
Table 58 - 4 way action (Matt Dale"s favourite pastime ;D)
Simon Spear pops from the Hijack to 600 - but gets little respect as Richard Baker, Steve Harrison and an Anonymous lady player all make the call.
The flop is a dynamic 7h 4s 9c
Lady chks, Simon checks, Rich bets 1300, Steve folds, Anonymous calls, Simon folds.
Turn is 6s
Lady checks, Rich fires 2200, Lady calls
River is 8d - very naughty board now and both check
Rich shows Ks 9s - Lady shows 9h Qd - Rich takes down the pot

A very small stacked Michelle Gascoine shoves all in from early position with Ah 5c. She is quickly called by the much larger stack of Rod Hall with Ad 10d.
The board runs out: A s 2s 4s 2h Kc
Michelle gets up to leave, and the dealer is about to collect the cards when it"s pointed out that it is in fact a split pot. Michelle sits back down.

Amature question i know.....every table still 7 handed for M1A? or was that just to get things going for initial seating?
Will see some of you tommorw :)

That was just to get things going to make it easier to slot alternates/late registrations in on the system. If you look at "Current Seating" here: http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/result-info.php?id=3426 you"ll see that were are indeed playing 9-handed.

Thanks Matt, i thought that might be the case.

Great festival so far, but the HORSE schedule was terrible. Level 3 in HORSE was equivalent to level 6 of Thursday"s stud event and the starting stacks were the same. Second one out and I feel I"ve wasted £55. I"m extremely tight, barely played a hand and because nothing I had held up I got effectively blinded away. Won one pot in the first level of hold em. So frustrated.
Roll on the PLO!
I spoke to a number of players at the first break as per our conversation Martin, and while they felt it was a bit fast in the opening two levels, generally they are saying its fine now. It should run ten hours, so we"ll keep an eye on it throughout.
Anyway, that aside, sorry to hear you didn"t enjoy the event - we never like to hear that - and hope you have a much better run in the PLO.
Thanks Des
I still think it is far too fast and should have matched the Stud structure - I believe it would have made very little difference to the length of the event. Anyway, you listened, and as I suggested you spoke to some other players so I can"t ask for more than that.
See you tomorrow

Liam Alcock out in 116th place - stack crippled by his call of an all in with AQ - in fine shape against T9 - but a ten on the river left Liam with only just over 5k - he shoves from the HiJack with 89 - and runs into KK. A King on the flop and Liam is a goner.

yep - sorry i realised it was Charlotte and not Natalia as i traversed the floor again.
Even more so as i saw Charlotte lose a massive chuck of her chips to Ryunosuke Mason Brown - Charlotte holding Jh Kh on a 7c 7h 2h flop - with Ryunosuke holding 8s 7s.
So to do her justice - here (again!) is Charlotte Godwin

In a mad scramble to get into the top 8 in the Cash Challenge (it"s looking like a £250+ stack will scrape in), there"s a 3-way all-in on table Roderick.
I arrive to see Ian Gascoigne (£200+) and Steve Roderick (£60ish) already all in pre-flop, with Anonymous (£200ish) pondering an all-in call for her stack. She makes the call.
Cards on their backs
Anonymous: Jc Jh
Steve Roderick: A s Qh
Ian Gascoigne: 3d 5d
The flop is dealt: 9d 4h 4d
Turn: 6d
River: Qd
Ian scoops the £450+ pot and looks to have secured himself a place at the final table.
-
Player down in the HORSE - Chris Hiam bust out by Leon Blackwell in the Holdem round in 8th place.
-
Updates on Lucy please. Table 23/1 if you needed the help to find her :)
Lucy is still going - sat on just over 18,000
After a timely double-up, now up to 39.5k which is just shy of the average.
-
Sharon Roberts out in 7th - taken down by Kevin O"Hanlon - Sharons trip Aces on the flop bust by the wheel of Kevin on the turn.
-
Bryn Green takes a massive chip pot off Kevin O"Hanlon - Bryn having a Full House - Aces full of 2s - Kevin having two pait Jacks and 2s.
-
Bryn Green seems to be bossing the HORSE FT now - just taking out Karl Bursford who leaves in 6th place
-
6th place finisher in the HORSE Karl Bursford approaches the update desk to tell of his exit.
AA62 vs K64T in the Omaha round, with a King on the flop and another on the river. Karl takes home £120.
Karl, very sportingly, is wearing a shirt embroidered with the slogan "The Other Guy" :) (see APATs passim: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=12808.msg197331#msg197331 & http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=12808.msg197489#msg197489)

5 Chris Webber, £551

7 Sharon Roberts
8 Chris Hiam
The final 5 players remaining are:
Seat 1 Gary Jackson
Seat 2 Richard Duncan Hodgkins
Seat 4 Kevin O Hanlon
Seat 6 Bryn Green
Seat 7 Leon Blackwell
-
no more eliminations so far in the HORSE Final Table - but Richard Hodgkins and Gary Jackson are having a battle royale for the chip lead - both keying on Kevin O Hanlon in the PLO and Razz round - Richard getting them all in with pretty much the nut Razz hand which doubled him up.
Kevin has survived the Razz round and looks happier now they are playing Stud - Bryn and Leon still very well placed though and well stacked.
-
Kevin O"Hanlon has just exited the HORSE event in 5th place for £140.

Just been a massive hand in the HORSE FT - Gary Jackson check calling every street with Leon Blackwell firing repeatedly in the Eights or Better round.....eventually went to showdown and jaw droppingly Gary scooped with AAQJ8 against Leon"s AAQJ7 - about 110k chips
-
Richard Hodgkins down in 4th place in the HORSE - lost a couple of nice pots as the game went to Holdem - eventually had no option but to commit his stack with K4 - up against Gary Jacksons T9 on a QQ9 flop - 7 on the turn, 3 on the river.
Few hands left of Holdem before we move into PLO - blinds at 3/6k - Bryn Green sitting quietly and choosing his moments with Gary Jackson very much the table aggressor

Leon Blackwell wins the WCOAP Horse Championship - beating Bryn Green into second place.
Holding a 176k v 64k advantage going Heads Up - first hand into the round of Razz, Leon was relentless in his aggression and won the first 4 hands uncontested - the deciding hand came next, with Bryn having little choice but to commit - but when the cards were shown, it was Leon"s A236J that beat Bryn"s A257Q
Massive congratulations to Leon who showed great skills in all disciplines and is a worthy Champion. Commiserations to Bryn who also played a fine game but just fell short when it truly mattered.

Roddy Farmer out in horrible fashion....pre flop raise to 5k, to which Roddy calls with 99 and the BB completes as well...flop comes out with a 9 - and two clubs. BB and Roddy check - raiser shoves all in for just under 100k - and is aghast when Roddy snap calls.
Raiser shows KT with 1 club....but hits runner, runner clubs to send Roddy out.

Leon Blackwell wins the WCOAP Horse Championship - beating Bryn Green into second place.
Holding a 176k v 64k advantage going Heads Up - first hand into the round of Razz, Leon was relentless in his aggression and won the first 4 hands uncontested - the deciding hand came next, with Bryn having little choice but to commit - but when the cards were shown, it was Leon"s A236J that beat Bryn"s A257Q
Massive congratulations to Leon who showed great skills in all disciplines and is a worthy Champion. Commiserations to Bryn who also played a fine game but just fell short when it truly mattered.
Really enjoyed playing this event, and [obviously] nice to come away with the bracelet ;D
I had a really great time all day - the event was run to D2Ds typically high standards and a had very friendly atmosphere on and off the tables. Congratulations to Bryn who played really well the whole day. Big thanks to Des and the rest of the APAT crew for organising a brilliant poker series - I"ll definitely be back to play more of these.

In a mad scramble to get into the top 8 in the Cash Challenge (it"s looking like a £250+ stack will scrape in), there"s a 3-way all-in on table Roderick.
I arrive to see Ian Gascoigne (£200+) and Steve Roderick (£60ish) already all in pre-flop, with Anonymous (£200ish) pondering an all-in call for her stack. She makes the call.
Cards on their backs
Anonymous: Jc Jh
Steve Roderick: A s Qh
Ian Gascoigne: 3d 5d
The flop is dealt: 9d 4h 4d
Turn: 6d
River: Qd
Ian scoops the £450+ pot and looks to have secured himself a place at the final table.
Can I just explain this hand as I think this type of hand is why the cash championship is so good.
The way this hand actually went was as follows
Ian didn"t have £200+. I was the biggest stack in the hand with £168, Ian would have had about £80ish at that point and Anonymous was a stack of about £120.
Ian raised UTG and was clearly happy to gamble with ATC to get to the final table. The money didn"t mean anything to him and I was well aware of this. The call by Anonymous was strange as she should have known that Ian would call her very very wide so I thought she must have some kind of small pair/implied odds type hand as I was pretty sure she would raise a big hand for value Vs Ian. I had AQ.
Now shoving £168 in here with AQ under normal circumstances is usually terrible but the dynamic had created a unique spot where I can actually do this for value. I fully expect Anonymous to fold her hand and for it to be a decent sized pot between myself and Ian, I reckoned it would just get me to the final table as well but I would have shoved even if it had not as it is a value play. I thought that if Anonymous called I was likely to be 50/50 against her which would mean that it is a very +EV pot for me as it would put me on the final table with a big stack and create a decent side pot.
The hand did go to plan, it was a great dynamic and I think this is the kind of thing that makes this concept so good and something that APAT can do again in the future.
It would be great to get some tables full of APAT regs playing this.
