Fans of Channel 4"s seminal Late Night Poker series may recognise the name Rob Thomas. That"s because Rob produced the series. Filmed right here in Cardiff at the Splot Industrial Estate, Late Night Poker was the first time UK audiences had seen poker on their televisions. It played a huge part in the popularity of the game here.
Quick bit of Late Night Poker trivia: The show was broadcast for 10 series. The highest ranking hand on record over that time was a King High Straight Flush by... me! :D
Whilst I"ve been reminiscing, Ricky Farbrother has left the room.

Some of the locals are a bit cavalier. At 25/50 two players aipf AJ < AK
Aye, that was the exit of Wai Gal, a well known "maverick" local player in these parts.
Can you relate the hand sequence pls?
p.s. you asked about APAT players. You"re sat next to one! :D

Post by: MintTrav on August 29, 2015, 16:18:05 PM
Steve Rumming raised to 200 pre-flop at 25/50, holding AK, which was called by David Gregory with AA and Dann Williams in position with JT. The Flop was AK4 and all three players checked (tricky lot, these APAT players). A blank Turn saw just 500 chips each entering the pot from Gregory and Rumming, with Williams folding. Another K on the River gave full houses to both players, AAAKK against AAKKK, and the pot was raised and reraised until all the chips were in.
Very unlucky spot for Rumming. Gregory is the early chip-leader with a little over double the starting stack.
Post by: MintTrav on August 29, 2015, 16:19:22 PM
In the first hand, no cards were actually seen, so we only have the players" word for what they claim to have had.
Simon Hill raised to 150 pre-flop and was called by Richard Baker, but then reraised to 650 by Dylan Herbert. Paul Haines then raised further to 1,700 and it was folded back to Dylan, who called. On a J-high flop, Paul led out for 2,300 and Dylan folded.
Paul says he had AK, Dylan QQ. Also Richard Rudling-Smith says he folded JJ pre-flop, which I can easily believe.
Post by: MintTrav on August 29, 2015, 16:20:08 PM
Richard had AA, Robert had KQ, and the flop was AJT.
Richard did well not to lose the lot.

Gareth Smith in Seat 1 checked the River and Daniel "Day" Lewis in Seat 2 bet 3,000.
After thinking about it, Gareth called and was shown 10d 10c, with Daniel having flopped a set, which was the winner.

Post by: MintTrav on August 29, 2015, 17:31:52 PM
Due to the history over previous hands, Dylan Herbert had no hesitation in calling with KQ and was shown AJ.
The board blanked out and Dylan added 12k to his stack. Debbie Kimm was moved into the lucky seat.
The very next hand, Dylan opened for 725 (at 75/150), which he claimed was an accident. He was called by Bogdandorin Serea in the SB. With the flop showing 10s 4d 2c, Dylan bet 800 and Bogdandorin raised to 1,875. Dylan asked how many chips Bogdanorin had behind. Some other players tried to answer on his behalf, but Andrea the dealer was very firm in telling them that they were not allowed so to do (though I could see he had 16,000 behind).
Dylan raised again to 4,500. "Have you got Kings?. I beat Kings" said Bogdandorin, and called. On the Turn of 9h, he moved all-in and was quickly called by Dylan. Dylan"s 10d 10h had flopped a set and was ahead of Jc Js.
Having knocked out two players in two hands, Dylan now has the most chips, with 50k. Andrea is ruling Table 6, with Dylan close behind.

Example 1 - Dave Burt raises from the button with Qs 3c after a couple of players have called pre-flop and flops two pair. By the time the hand is over, he has added 10k to his stack, moving from 14k to 24k.
Example 2 - Dan Owston calls a raise with Js 7s and flops a flush at the same time that the raiser flops a set with 2d 2c on a board of 2s 10s Ks 7c 3h. That"s the end of Dean Griffith"s tournament.

As I reach their table, there is a bunch of chips in the middle, with the board reading 10s 9d 10c 9h.
The Turn goes check/check.
The River is 7d and both players give up on the pot with another check/check.
Terry shows 6c 6d and Dan shows Kd Qh to inherit the pot by default.
Terry is down to 20k. Dan is on 70k.

Jason Kemp on 81k.
Post by: MintTrav on August 29, 2015, 22:34:04 PM
Rudders grinds his stack down but finally finds the hand he has been waiting for and shoves for 5k.
Mark Channer goes all-in over the top and Terry Evans calls for just over 20k.
Rudders says "I hope no-one has a Q".
Rudders Q9
Mark AQ
Terry QQ
The Flop is AA8.
Rudders picks up a straight draw but very unluckily misses his outs.

How"s Tom Clark doing John???
He had 14.5k when you asked. Just shoved pre-flop and added 2k. He showed me suited connectors, but didn"t show the table and didn"t want me to disclose more than that about them. In fairness, I"d have been embarrassed to have played the hand he showed me too.

James Orchard shoved with 55.
Bill Law has TT.
Stephen Bradbury came along with AK.
The cards came 2h Js Qh Qd 10c
Bill filled up on the River, though he was already ahead. Stephen won the side-pot with a straight, as Bill was the shortest stack, and eliminates James.
Post by: MintTrav on August 29, 2015, 23:05:28 PM
Dann 3-bet the initial raise and then called the 4-bet all-in with AK against KQ for a very useful addition to his chips.

Table draw to follow shortly. We"ve lost our first player - Linda Iwaniak against chip leader Rob Thomas. JM with details in a mo.
Post by: MintTrav on August 30, 2015, 12:18:11 PM
The Flop was 10d 9c X and Linda went all-in for 19k - called by Rob with Qh 9d and his big stack.
Linda didn"t improve and is now registering for the PLO tournament.
Post by: MintTrav on August 30, 2015, 12:27:02 PM
Joe Char-Grill called the all-in with his "stack" of 10k.
David called.
David ad1 Kh
Jonathan Ah Qd
Joe Qc Qh
No high cards on the board mean Joe stays ahead until the River, but he lets out a sigh when the Ac hits - until the other players point out that it is the fourth club on the board and he has made a flush.
So Joe trebles up, David wins the side-pot and Jonathan is not playing any more.
Post by: MintTrav on August 30, 2015, 12:34:06 PM
He tries it again, but it is once too often, his Kd Js running into Rob Thomas" ad1 Ks.
Rob was chip-leader at the start of the day and has already knocked out two players to stretch his lead.
Rob Thomas 165k.
Post by: MintTrav on August 30, 2015, 12:49:50 PM
The next hand, Dyfan got all-in pre-flop with Ah Ks against Bob Bulman"s Js Jh, but didn"t hit and has been eliminated.

At the beginning of day 1b:
It"s a fast start to Day 1B, with one player already eliminated.
Steve Rumming raised to 200 pre-flop at 25/50, holding AK, which was called by David Gregory with AA and Dann Williams in position with JT. The Flop was AK4 and all three players checked (tricky lot, these APAT players). A blank Turn saw just 500 chips each entering the pot from Gregory and Rumming, with Williams folding. Another K on the River gave full houses to both players, AAAKK against AAKKK, and the pot was raised and reraised until all the chips were in.
Very unlucky spot for Rumming. Gregory is the early chip-leader with a little over double the starting stack.
At the end of day 1b:
Last night"s results for the No Limit Hold'em side event.
34 players, £850 prizepool.

Rodders opens to 6.5k in early position and is called in three spots by Roy Powell beside him, Dan Owston in the SB and Bob Bulman in the BB.
The Flop is 10h Js Ks.
Dan checks, Bob shoves for 32k, Rodders calls instantly and the others fold.
Bob Qh 9h
Rod Ah Qs
They have both flopped a straight, with Rodders ahead.
An Ace would chop the pot, but it doesn"t come and Bob is out.

Excluding team games, John doesn"t make that list.

They bought in 22 gallons of Strongbow (176 pints) to cover the weekend. It lasted less than 48 hours. Combination of Bank Holiday Weekend, lots of extra players for APAT, and a full moon.

I presume Owston is playing like Owston, chip counts for both Rodders and the bald drunk please
Owston says he isn"t playing like Owston, and is sat with 87k.
Rodders is the current leader on 250k.
There is now only 1 Jones left in the tournament. Warren Jones is out (details to follow). Anthony Jones remains, and is therefore Jones "The Poker".

Former APAT Champion Shirley Cole has been very short all day and has hung around and grinded her way up bit by bit.
Finally she found a spot to accumulate some chips when Gavin opened with ad1 Jh and she had Kc Kd.
Gavin was short and went out.
Shirley is now on 140k.

Table 5 was showing a board of 8d 10h 5h Qc 6h when I came by, with 4,000 chips already in the middle.
Gareth Smith in Seat 1 checked the River and Daniel "Day" Lewis in Seat 2 bet 3,000.
After thinking about it, Gareth called and was shown 10d 10c, with Daniel having flopped a set, which was the winner.
Just picking this up (from my home 120 miles away after having busted last level of last night) - the hands were actually reversed and I had the needling rights over Dan (who told me he had JJ).

First he lost with AA against AK, all in pre-flop against Anthony Jones.
Anthony made a flush and doubled-up his 62k stack, making a major hole in David"s 90k.
David then got all-in pre-flop for his remaining chips with A8 against Lewis Tucker"s QQ and didn"t improve.

Rodders raises to 30k from the SB and Roy Powell calls in the BB.
The flop is 7d Kc 3d and Rod continues for another 30k.
Roy shoves all-in for 65k total and Rodders hesitates.
"I have nothing, but I think I have to call" he says, and he does.
The Robs perk up, with the possibility that they might leapfrog someone into the cash places.
Roy Qd Ks
Rod 2s 9s
Not good news for the short-stacks.
Rod doesn"t win the hand.
Post by: MintTrav on August 30, 2015, 18:58:30 PM
Everyone folds to Debbie Kimm, who already has 10k in the pot as the BB and has to put in another 3k.
Rob tells Debbie she has to call and she makes the loosest call she has ever made in her life with 9s 4s.
Rob has Ac 3d
The board: 2c Qs 9d Ks 2d
Debbie knocks out Rob and the bubble is gone.
Everyone else is in the money.

Cards on their backs. Mark shows QT, Jason a pair of fives.
The board runs out 8s 4d Jc Jd Kd, and Mark leaves us in 13th place (£170).
Post by: MintTrav on August 30, 2015, 19:22:37 PM
Steve Roderick opens to 20k from the SB. Steve"s image after the recent hand may be counting against him now, and Roy shoves straight away. Steve folds.
Bash opens to 22k from early position and Chucky shoves for 103k from mid-position. Bash thinks about it and folds, showing an Ace. Chucky doesn"t show, but looks a bit sick. I think he regrets shoving.
Rodders opens to 22k from the Cut-Off and Bash calls in the BB. Rob bets 35k on an Ace-high, two-spade Flop and Bash folds.

Shirley could also win her second National title!!
Post by: MintTrav on August 30, 2015, 20:33:47 PM
Steve Roderick has an incredible record in APAT main events. This is the sixth time he has reached the final table. He has previously finished second on two occasions and third on two occasions. One of his second places was in the APAT World Championship of Amateur Poker, when there were 425 entrants.
Shirley Cole is a previous APAT Champion, winning the English Championship in 2014. She also finished 12th in the Main event at this year"s APAT World Championship of Amateur Poker. Only three players have ever won two APAT main events. Can Shirley join that very exclusive club?
Dave Burt reached a final table at the WSOP in 2014, finishing 9th out of 2,043 players.

Bash folds the Small Blind.
Bill thinks about it. He has 66k behind, not counting the 16k he has in already for the BB.
He thinks for a while. Jason"s range musty be very wide here. If Bill has something he is considering calling with, he is likely to be ahead. In the end he folds, so it presumably wasn"t that strong............

Guy calls from the BB.
Bash Js 9d
Guy Jh 10s
The board doesn"t help Bash and he is knocked out in 7th place, winning £340.
8h 2d 4s Kc 10c
Bash has been in good form lately, finishing 6th in the Cardiff GUKPT £500 event and 3rd in the Grosvenor Swansea 25/25 in the last couple of months.
I guess APAT tournaments are tougher proposition, but another excellent result.

All-in from Rodders on the small blind..
Jason Kemp asks for a count. It"s 268k. Plenty of banter between the 2. Jason certain he"s ahead, but... folds.

Blinds are currently 15k/30k/3k with 30 mins left of level 22.

Next hand Rodders shoves from the button, and picks up the blinds of Jason and Dave Burt.

The Flop is checked through and Dave check/calls a bet of 80k on the Turn.
The River is the 2d and Dave checks again.
Guy gives up and checks behind, which was the best option, as Dave was trapping with 10s Jc for the third-nut flush.

Dave moves all-in from the BB and Jason folds after a bit. Something tells me he was raising a bit light that time.

There is 87k in the middle before each hand starts.
Aggression is really going to pay off now. Picking that much up a few times could increase your stack dramatically.

All that remains is for me to say a massive thanks to the casino, Krisztian the Card Room Manager, Richard, and all the rest of the cardroom staff, the valets and bar staff, and everyone else.
It"s been a very memorable experience.
Thanks to everyone who came to play, observe, or who followed the updates from afar. Hope to see you all at another event soon.
Finally, thanks to John Murray for providing some truly excellent updates, and to Alex Riccardi for her photography services on days 1b and 2.
Finally, to end the day off... Warren Jones did win an event - the casino"s £2k event for £700! :) 67 runners plus a few entries.

Well played Jason, hes gutted im sure but excellent result with a bronze x
Thanks Suzanne appreciate the words - true as 3 handed we had similar stacks 600k v 800k v 700k. all <20bb. However had someone offered me 3rd place before the bubble and going through onto the final table I"d snapped it off such was the position I was in.
Well done to Dave and Guy on 1st and 2nd place.

Nicky Piper was a world-class boxer from Cardiff who fought for a world title three times, once against Nigel Benn. Apart from the world title attempts, he only lost two other fights in his 33-fight professional career, one to a future World Champion and one to a boxer who fought for World titles both before and after he fought Piper. Nearly all of Piper"s wins were by knockout.
Here we see him keeping a watchful eye on Rodders, the Kempster and Bash in case they start string-betting or playing out of turn.

Fantastic day obviously. 100% free roller from my lppl package made it all the more sweet. Always love the APAT structure as plenty of time to pick your spots, especially when running 20bigs from level 6 to the FT!!
Then running good and winning my flips towards the business end did the rest.
My first poker medal/Trophy for the shelf and the 3k a very welcome boost with Baby number 2 ready in October. So yet again I wont get to give much of it back. Probably a good thing. ;D
Thank you to everyone I spoke to at various points. Everyone was polite.
Also thanks to Paxo, for the 1 vrs the rest rail.
