Just back after a long night at Dublin Airport. Thanks Des & Rich for another great tourney I seem to be stuck between 25th & 50th every tournament. Can"t complain at least I am getting a lot of play for my money and showing consistency.
Best of luck to all today with a special mention for Scouse, Phil t & Darren.
;D

My two tips still in there. Brian in the lead and Will handily placed mid pack. Go guys. Also rooting for Mike (I need a double/triple up) Saban, Steve ( another day 2) Redfearn, and Mark (Leeds team mate) Redshaw

Good afternoon again from Dublin
It is once again scorching here, and in about an hour"s time the 29 players resume play battling for the title of APAT Irish Amatuer Poker Champion 2009, Euro3400 to the winner, GUKPT Champion of Champions seat and Blankety Blank chequebook and pen
I had a troubling night. Settling off to sleep at 2am I received a phone call from Dawn Dineen telling me they were going clubbing and my presence was required
A few minutes of futile resistance later I had relented and was dressed and going out of the door of my first floor hotel room
As I rounded the corner I was met mid stairs by a middle aged American Woman dressed in nothing but a dressing gown. Interesting, I was tempted to think. Until she opened her mouth.
From this mouth trailed a splurge of East Coast American accent invective, think Joan Rivers minus most of the facelifts, berating me for making too much noise.
I apologised halfheartedly and was told I should "respect people operating in different timezones" I replied, perhaps undiplomatically that if I was "in the Solomon Islands now it would be tomorrow, let alone a different timezone, and you would have a point but you are actually in the same timezone as me"
She seemed nonplussed by this, but part-recovered and then told me she had to be up at 6am for a flight. I congratulated her on this, and wished her a good night"s sleep
[ ] I sure hope that when I finally retired to bed at 5am 800 Euros lighter I did not wake her up
-
Good Luck, Richard King, played a blinder yesterday.
-
Good afternoon everyone and as Tighty offered above, "welcome to Dublin". I wisely selected the "go to bed" option last night and feel well refreshed as a result this morning. My co-host for today"s production on the other hand, looks a little rattled, on what is shaping up like a scorching day here in Dublin. Bless.
Pics of last night"s final 29 finishers are coming right up. Pics of the lap top club revellers will not be coming right up. Thank God you might say, rightly so too.

Anyway, I don"t think men with beards play poker as well as clean shaven men.
Find me examples from poker history that disprove me? go on

Thanks for sticking with us folks and I"m glad to say that"s a wrap from Dublin.
Many congratulations to Brian Yates and the other medal and prize money winners on a job very well done. Lots of pictures and video interviews will follow later tomorrow, so keep an eye out for those. We leave you with an unusual interview with Andrew Tracey, taken before day two started. He is with Dawn "Laxie" Dineen, the Captain of the Dublin Team in the APAT National League.
We look forward to seeing some of you in Edinburgh for the Scottish Amateur Poker Championship in July.

unlucky mr rudders.well played as usual mate.hope youve had a great weekend.see you in the week m8 ah ac
-
Well played Brian, glad I didn"t bok you! You were destined to win this one ;) And well done Will my other tip 7th . Congrats to all the final tablists, it sounds like you have all had a great weekend. Thanks to Tighty and the guys for the reports and interviews.... top draw.
-
Well played to all and congrats to all the Brians :)
-
Very well played Brian on taking this down. A very well deserved victory and to win a live and online national championships is an incredible achievement, even more so that it has been achieved in the same season.
The line up for day two, meant we already knew it was going to be a high class final table, whoever made it through, and we certainly were not disappointed. Especially well done to Brian Murphy and Richard for making the medals.
Yet again, it was another great APAT weekend and another great Dublin weekend. As always, all the staff at the Fitzwilliam were superb and really entered into the spirit of the weekend and gave it their all, so thank you to all of them.
I think what best sums up the weekend is that when Des and I started the pre-day two interviews, we managed a couple in the cardroom, but then I suggested we might get a few more if we go over the road to the pub instead. I was proved right, and they are well worth a watch when Des gets then up online.
Well played to everyone involved, and looking forward to Edinburgh already. ;D
-
Wahey - good work Brian. You"re on a role at the moment! Now just keep it up for Vegas!
-
great weekend guys, really enjoyed my first APAT experience. Congrats on those who made the final table and for the casino for doing decent job in running a large field in quite a tight spaced venue - well done.
Can anyone tell me where pictures will be put from the event as when i load the image gallery its a blank page, are they somewhere else on apat?
Thanks,
Chris

Just arrived back from Ireland so will be working on images and videos over the next couple of hours.

First of all, Congrats to Brian on an outstanding victory - It was clear from 3 tables that he was going to win this, he had the cards and hit the flops - it was his day but thats not to take anything away from him, he played very very well and deserved this win.
Secondly, thanks to Des and Co for yet another fantastic tournament. Maybe I will even cash in one of these events one day!! lol (Bad Beat moan..........................................)

First of all, Congrats to Brian on an outstanding victory - It was clear from 3 tables that he was going to win this, he had the cards and hit the flops - it was his day but thats not to take anything away from him, he played very very well and deserved this win.
Secondly, thanks to Des and Co for yet another fantastic tournament. Maybe I will even cash in one of these events one day!! lol (Bad Beat moan..........................................)
:)
BLX, just noticed wrong account - ooops
Thanks Paul...it"s only a matter of time for you.

I"d just like to put on record a big thanks to Leigh, who worked his socks off yesterday counting chips, calling hands and weighing in with help on the interviews, etc. APAT couldn"t do what it does without the fantastic support of players like Leigh. Thanks mate.
Des & Tighty.

Hi All,
Just want to congratulate APAT on a very well run tournament - after crushing my stack to Brian Murphy 88 v QQ on the bubble, was delighted but also crushed to finish 4th, so close to 4 figures and yet so far.
My congratulations to all at the final table, in baticular Brians Yates, Murphy and Richard.
Also, I re-raised blind when I had 82o and I thought I had just enough to take him off the pot - hadn"t done the maths right!

Congratz Brian - you deserved this!! You"re on fire at the moment - I just hope you can take your form to Vegas!!
Many thanks to Des, Tighty, Leigh, et al - another outstanding weekend! The effort you guys put into running these things is very much appreciated!
BCPC - 4 of the 5 who entered made the money in Dublin, including 2 on the final table, and the winner.... outstanding effort!! So.... who has the "best home game in the Midlands" now??

Another great weekend, thanks to all involved.
Now time to catch up on some sleep.
Hopefully see you in Edinburgh.

I"ve never been to Dublin before and it was an awesome weekend - I loved the place, people. Guiness etc and I will be rushing back there soon.
Thanks to everyone at APAT and the Fitz for putting on a great tourney, the most enjoyable two days of poker I have had, the Irish players were great apart from loving to gamble they got into the APAT spirit and there was never a dull moment. It was great playing with Brian Greene and Brian Murphy and I"m sorry I let the Brian"s down by bubbling the FT but well done to them for making it a great game and to all the other finalists.

Congrats Brian. Thanks to all the apat crew for another cracking weekend, was great to meet up with old friends.It was also a pleasure to meet up with Lou and Mike,Don and the one and only Laxie .
Hope to see you in Edinburgh
