Back with a bang and there have been a flurry of double ups.

A notable one being Brendan Johnston against Nerijus Simonavicius.

Board runs out  7h Qs 4h 9c 5h

Big bets on the river and a shove from Simonavicius is eventually called by Johnston.

Johnston shows  6s 8c for the straight but Simonavicius has  Ah Qh and doubles up.

We have lost our last Belgian friend only a few out of the cash.

Greert Sluyts shipped with  Ac Qd but could not outwit his opponents  Ah A s and he hits the rail.

Very unlucky and well played.

We are one off the Bubble and David Lynes pushes all in for 50k on a Board of 3s 10h 9s 5s

Ryan McGrath makes the call and David shows Ac 5d, only to be devastated when Ryan tables Qs Ks and David is drawing dead and departs in 29th spot.

On the Button and Konrad Janowski pushes All In for 40k and Mark McGuinness makes the call.

Konrad 6h 6s and Mark Qh Jd

Board 2d 4s 8d Qc 2c and we lose Konrad on the Bubble.

Ben Cook has just had a nice little scoop in taking out Florian Blanquart.

Ben has  Kd Qd against Florian"s  Kh Kc and they get it all in pre flop.

The board runs out very unfavourably for the Blanquarts kings -  6d 3d 5s on the flop,  9s on the turn and the fatal  10d on the river seals it.

Ben is now sat on around 108k.

Another big hand sees Brian Backhaus push pre flop with  9c 9d .

They hold on a  8c 5h 10s Kd Ks board against David O"Brien"s  Ad Qs and Backhaus doubles up.

In other news, Ben Cook - the last remaining player from the LPPL entourage, has climbed up to 200k.

Good luck to him, it will be a nice lively rail if he goes deep...

Clement 10h 10d Sian Ac Kd and Robert Ad Kh

Board of 6d 6s Jc 2h 9c and Clement trebles up.

Turn 7c

One of "those" hands, on table 50 here.

Jamie Cusack raises pre flop and gets two callers.

Flop comes down  Qh  As 6c and we see Cusack check and Mark McGuinness bets.

The third player involved folds and Cusack check raises all in. McGuinness snap calls.

McGuinness shows  Ad 6d for two pair
Cusack has  Ac Jc for one pair

The turn of  8s makes no difference and it looks like it might be all over for Cusack...

The  Qd on the river however, changes everything and gives Cusack the better two pair and he doubles up.

Blinds 4000 / 8000.

All in by the small stacked Thibald Salles.

Called by Bryan Backhaus followed by all-in by Sian Thompson.

Quickly called by Bryan.  Possibility of losing two players in one hand.

Bryan    10s 10c

Sian   Qc Qs

Thibald   Ah Jh

Cards;

5d 6d Ks Kh Kc

Nice pot landed with full house and keeps Sian in the game.  Unfortunately the last hand for Thibald.

Keith McFadden raises in mid position and is called in late position. At this point Nerijus Simonavicius, fairly short stacked, pushes all in over the top.

McFadden re ships to isolate and the caller folds.

Simonavicius has  Js Jh
McFadden has  7d 8c

The board runs out as  Ad 5s Kc Jd 10d

Simonavicius doubles up to a much healthier stack.

Things have slowed down here as the stacks have evened out a little and the pace has slowed down somewhat.

A few short stacks and one or two big leaders but the majority are around average stack.

We are in the last five miutes of Level 17, after which, players will be on a fifteen minute break.

We are down to 11 players following the loss of Gary Spencer, Brendan Johnstone and Mark Gray.


Ben Cook has had a swing in the right direction over the last level or so.

He doubled up with  Qh Qd against  A s Kh  all in pe flop.
Board ran out  Qc Ah 10d Ad 7c

I caught the end of a hand between him and Skipp Van Dem Assem.

Board of  10d 4h Ah Qc Jh

Big bet on the river and Ben thinks for a little while and calls.

He shows his  Ad 6s and Skipp mucks.

This puts Ben on about 625k.

Very next hand sees Skipp call on the button, Ben completes in the small blind and the big blind checks.

Flop comes over  4d 9s 6h

Checks from the blinds, Skipp bets 26k, Ben calls and Big blind folds.

The turn is the  9c and both players check.

The river is the  7s

Ben bets 42k and Skipp instantly calls him.

Ben flips  4c 4h for a full house and Skipp mucks but declares the straight.

After a nice little run, Ben is now on around 750k.

With a pot of circa 80k and a Board Qc 8c 6d 10d, Mark McGuinness in the SB bets 46k, Alexandre Richardot in BB min raises and Ivan Yatsenko gets out of the way.

River brings a 3rd club, being 9c, and Mark after 10 or so seconds announces all in and Alexandre snap calls, Mark having him covered.

Alexandre shows 9d Js having hit a straight on the Turn,

however Mark tables Jc Kc for 2nd nuts on the River and a dejected Alexandre walks to the rail shaking his head...

not sure if that is because of the beat or the min raise on the Turn.

All in pre flop we see Fabrice Couzy ship his fairly short stack and he is called by Skipp Van Dem Assem who has him covered.

Skipp has  Ad Qs and Fabrice has  9h 10h

The board runs out  4d Qd 10s 5c 8d

Skipp takes the pot and sends Fabrice to the rail and we have our final table in the APAT Irish Amateur Poker Championship.

Talk about having a good day!!

Ben raises from under the gun to 76k.

It folds round to Robert Blaauwgeers in the big blind who re raises to 210k

Ben thinks for a while and then moves all in.

Blaauwgeers calls and the cards go over

Qd Qh for Ben
Blaauwgeers has  10s 10h

The flop is kind and comes down  Qs 9c 6d

The  6c turn and  8s river mean that Ben doubles up to around 2.2 million!!!

With the average at 1.1 million and 5 players left...

Massive chip movement with this hand.

Small raise pre flop sees Mark McGuinness and Robert Blaauwgeers go toe to toe and a checked flop of  Qc 3s 4s

The turn comes the  10c

Robert checks, Mark makes it 60k to go, Robert re raises to around 150k

Mark thinks for a little while and ships.
Robert, the shorter of the two stacks with 640k, instantly calls.

Robert has  4c 4d
Mark has  9h 10d

The river is the  3s but matters not and Robert doubles up through Mark.

Ben wins a nice pot on a Board Qc 4s 9h calling a bet from Robert of 100k, both checking the 6s Turn and Ben taking it down with 100k bet on 2s river.

Then 30 mins of play sees chips slowly move to Robert with numerous min/double BB bets and taking lots of hands down by the Turn.

Robert is making lots of min bets... makes it up from 45k to 90k, Ben calls, Board 8c 9d 9c, Robert bets 110k Ben calls... Turn 5s and Ben calls a 140k bet to see a River 3c and calls a 370k bet from Robert... only for Robert to immediately say Kings and Ben to reluctantly folds (saying he hit two pair on Flop...)

Ben 2.2m... Robert 3.3m...
