Also best of luck to one time LBPNer Craig Dawson, he"s on a heater at the min & I wouldn"t be surprised to see him at the top of the pile once the dust has settled!

Peter Cooke shoved his 10k stack at 800/1600 with A8 and was called by TT.
No help from the flop and we"re down to 29.
At 27 we"ll move the APAT Update HQ from the APAT Chill-out Lounge to the casino floor to be closer to the action.
The sacrifices we make for you. 8)

Unfortunately, I was watching a hand develop on another table that ultimately fizzled and missed the exit hand.
28 left.
Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 12:53:53 PM
Missed his flush draw with Kh 8h on a Jh Qd Jc 7h board against Ks Qs when the board ended with a 7s
They"re just breaking the tables down to 3 and there will be a short hiatus while we move down to the floor.
Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 13:05:32 PM
Turn of Jh gave Ken a few more outs but the river Qd gave no relief.

Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 13:59:06 PM
Can"t find him...
I don"t know his face so it"s possible he"s here and hiding his player slip.
We"re due a break in 30 minutes and I"ll double check.
I missed his exit if, in fact, he had one.

Board is Qh 10c 2h...
Tom shoves for 36k and Gareth dwells for a while before calling.
Tom flips over Ah Kh having flopped the world. Gareth shows A d Qd for top pair.
Turn of 8h crushes Gareth"s hopes.
Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 14:15:31 PM
Rob shows Kd 10d but employs mad skillz and excellent player ranging and rivers the 10s.
Now on just shy of 100k
Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 14:28:03 PM
Ian McKay shoves pre for 8k and is called by Tom Masterson
Ian shows Ac 6c and Tom 9d 9h
Standard
Flop runs out 8s 3h 6h giving Ian a couple more outs but the turn 4h and river Kd send him to the rail.

Gareth has 77 while Rob has the mighty "bullets".
Ace on the flop crushes Gareth but a 7 on the turn gives him a slim chance.
Jack on the river and we lose Gareth
18 left, down to 2 tables once we balance out. That"ll mess up my table plan..damn!

Board runs out 10h 3h 5c 2h 9s and we lose Peter.

Carl Norris doubles up to 230k
A d Kd vs Qs 10d in a mind game pot on a 2d 8c 8h board but the Kh 6h final two cards means a nice stack for Carl.

Mike on 80k
Scott damaged but still just above average on 140k which is currently 132k.

Not much help from the flop but the turn gave D straight draw but the river bricked.
Seems Zozzy went out during that kerfuffle but was quite quiet about it so no details unfortunately.
Down to 10 now.
FT soon I expect and we"ll add the usual break for re-draw and chipcounts.

The flop is 9h 6c Jc and the turn 8s and the river 9s.

Scott Ac Qh against Mike"s A s Kd
Flop 7c 9d 3d
Turn 3s has Scott drawing very thin.
River Jc seals his fate.

He trousers £810 but no medal.
Medals are now up for grabs.

Mike against Rob
Raise pre by Rob called by Mike
Flop 2c 2d 5c
Rob bets 40k and is called by Mike
Turn 4d
Mike checks and rob bets 60k which is also called.
River is Ks, Mike bets 125k and Rob shoves.
Mike asks for a count and it"s another 180k .
He makes the call and Rob shows Ac 2s for the flopped trips.
I didn"t think Mike would show but he did -- 4h 6c
Wow.
Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 21:33:05 PM
A pre-flop raise from Carl is met by a shove from Mike which is called.
Carl has Ah 10h which dominates Mike"s Ks 10c
There"s an Ace in the window on a Ac 2c 9s flop.
The turned Ks is some relief but has Mike needing a miracle
Which doesn"t come - 3h on the river and we are now heads up.
Mike walks away with a nice new shiny Bronze Medal and a not insignificant £1190 for his trouble.

Rob has the slight advantage at just over 1m in chips but Carl isn"t far behind on c.850k
Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 21:45:22 PM
Rob and Carl have been at it big styley.
Firstly
Pushes pre-flop and is called by Carl
Rob has an unexpected 10d 9s and Carl A s Qs
1.6 million pot.
Board is 7h 5s 5h 7c Qh
Rob is left with c.175k but is at a 9-1 disadvantage now.
Post by: Paulie_D on October 12, 2014, 21:48:23 PM
Rob"s not messing around now..not that he can afford to.
All with Ac 6h and is not surprisingly called by Carl who has Qh 9c.
The cards come out
3d 8s Ah 7c 7d and Rob doubles to 350k.
10 bigs...not great but not bad.

Rob pushes from the button and is snapped by Carl.
Rob has Qh 7c but Carl flips Kd Qc - Dominated!
Flop - 3s Ks 2c has Rob reeling
Turn - 4d and a meaningless river 3d means we have a new APAT UK Champion in Carl Norris.
Another great showing from Rob Swindells who takes the silver and £1825.

Carl, of course, takes home the gold and the bacon with £2815 - and the title of UK Amateur Poker Champion.

Great final table line up there. Would have made for a good live stream for sure.
I think the winningest (is that a word) player is Rob Swindells, who"s playing for Team GNF in the upcoming UK Team Championship.
Good to see Bill Sheppard mark his first APAT Live cash with a final table too!.
Good luck to the remaining 9!
Matt, thanks for that..... As usual a brilliant weekend of good APAT poker and banter. It feels so much better than previous ones for the obvious reason. And as Paulie said, why shouldn"t I be chuffed.... ;D

Carl played great and thoroughly deserved the win.
Thanks to Tom and Paulie for their hard work.
The People"s Republic of Yorkshire finally hosted an APAT event, and whilst the close proximity to my house made this event a goer for me, I would be interested in what people thought of the venue.
Great to meet up with so many people (new and old) over the weekend. The APAT community spirit is just brilliantly unique and having not played an event for over a year I have sorely missed this.
See you all in Manchester!!

Thanks to Tom and Paulie for all your efforts, and as for the venue I thought it was absolutely fine except for the standard of some of the dealers. Obviously the better dealers are working into the early hours so they are not available at 2pm in the afternoon, but the young lad we had for the early levels was abysmal, enough said.

The winner of the UK Amateur Poker Championship will win an "added value" main event seat at the WCOAP, where the main event winner will earn the trip of a lifetime to Las Vegas in the summer of 2015.
Have I won this seat then? What are the details for that?

Just like to say the updating was back to APAT standerd so well done to Tom & Paulie plus anyone else that helped out.
A bit of a low turnout, was expecting more runners from a well supported card room, may be a bit more advertising would have helped. But that did not deter from the APAT spirit.
Next stop Manchester (Yorkshire Yorkshire Yorkshire)

Thanks for the thanks from some of the other players who have already posted..
I had a really great weekend and anybody who sat at the same table as me knows that I like a drink and it was a killer not having any on the Sunday as whatever happened I still had to drive home.
I am "chuffed" as Paulie put it and I am happy that others have congratulated me on here as I do not get many live cashes, this making it maybe about 6 or 7 in nearly five years of live play but it is playing in the tournaments and atmosphere of an APAT one that I feel has helped improve my game more...
I"m not sure if we had the same dealer as Ian did but I heard that most of them were brand new, one only being in the job for FIVE days and they did fine enough for me... Hopefully they took on board the advice given by some of the more experienced players on the tables and take it as a learning curve. The TD was helping them a bit, especially with some of the bigger chip counts and he appeared quite patient with them so it can only help I suppose....
It"ll be a while for my next one now... Coventry more than likely....

We were affected by the fact that the G Merrion, also in Leeds, was putting on a £50 / 30k stack comp (with one rebuy) on the same day and DTD was also putting on a £125 event too.
We lose some players who can"t commit to a 2-day event and would rather play a worse structure (in my opinion) because it"ll be over in one day.
On the casino staffing front, I had my niggles but overall I though the cardroom staff managed pretty well. Patrick, the manager, has only been in place for 6 weeks so he still working out a few bugs and staffing issues..including some sickness problems on the day.
The buffet not being ready for the break was poor...the kitchen / serving staff had ample notice of when it was expected and missed it by a good 30 minutes (as we got started late).
Big ups to Tom for sticking to the APAT line on not paying the bubble...when asked why we don"t his answer was cracking..."because it"s the bubble".
Despite some quite vocal objections from one particular person the bubble was NOT paid as they couldn"t get unanimous support for it. Thanks to Rob S for that...it cut through all the cr*p.
I confess to an internal (and entirely personal, not APAT-official) grin when the most vocal proponent of the bubble being paid left with a min cash.
My first outing as an "official" updater...hope you liked it....and they are right, it"s a lot more work than it looks!
