Post by: APAT on July 14, 2009, 18:48:58 PM
For a bit of fun, name the player. 

All pics taken from APAT events.  Players should not reveal themselves please!

For anyone reading the thread for the first time, please note when a player has been identified the picture will return to normal.

Title: Re: Name The APAT Player
Post by: APAT on July 14, 2009, 20:13:17 PM
Okay, too easy - this is indeed the only and only Mike "Bodddders" Bodman.

Mike is the joint 31st player of all time in the APAT Rankings; a position which does not take into account his non points scoring victory in last year"s WCOAP Razz Championship at the Victoria Casino, the UK"s first Razz event.  Had that event awarded points, Mike would be joint 21st in the overall Rankings.

In addition to his WCOAP victory, Mike has secured a Silver Medal in the recent Scottish Online Championship and Bronze medals in the Russian Open in Season 1 and the Estonian Open in Season 2.  In total, he has scored Ranking points in 7 events.

Post by: APAT on July 14, 2009, 20:42:07 PM
James "Eck" Eccles it is.  James needs little introduction but I can tell you that he is the 8th highest ranking APAT player of all time. 

James has had a tremendous amount of success in online tournaments and has cashed in the WSOP main event, but to date, he has never won an APAT event.  He does hold a Silver medal for finishing runner up in the Scottish Amateur Championship in Season 1 and a Bronze medal for the Welsh Online Open in Season 2.  He has made three other APAT final tables including last year"s Scottish Amateur Championship and scored Ranking points in 8 events in total.

Title: Re: Name The APAT Player
Post by: APAT on July 14, 2009, 21:15:34 PM
Steve "SteveTheRake" Talbot it is.  Steve is the joint 21st Ranking player of all time on APAT. 

He has an incredible record of going deep having reached 7 APAT final tables, including the final table of the UK Amateur Championship and Scottish Amateur Championship in Season 1 and the UK Amateur Team Championship in Season 2.    He has also final tabled three Online Open events and one Regional Championship event.  Perhaps one of the unluckiest players not to win an APAT Medal?

It is of course, Mr Jack "Technolog" Prime, who admitedly is a few pounds lighter these days.  Jack can boast; if he was the sort - which he is not, of being the 6th highest Ranking APAT player of all time.

Jack has had twelve points finishes in three seasons, most notably taking Gold in the Online Greek Open in Season 2, Silver in the Asian Open (Season 1) and Chinese Open (Season 2) and Bronze in the Scandinavian Open in Season 2.  His best result might be the Bronze medal he took in the OnLive Championship at the end of Season 1, which saw him come through a field of 200 runners online to play a high octane final table at the Victoria Casino in London.

In addition to his five Medal performances, Jack has also final tabled a further four events and scored Ranking points in a further three.

He took Gold and Silver in Eastern Championship legs 3 & 4 in Season 2 and took a Bronze in the United Kingdom Online Open in Season 2.  He final tabled another 5 Online Open events during Season 2 and also scored Ranking points in the United Kingdom Online Championship in Season 3.

Oops, had forgot about this!

The picture that a number of you thought was Scouse....

...was in fact Steven Bayliff.  Mr Bayliff is the number one ranked APAT player online over the last three seasons and fifth ranked overall.  He has five medals and eleven final tables to his credit, all online - with ten of those results coming in season two.    His medal haul was made up of a Gold in the Albanian Open, two Silver in the Irish and Greek Opens and two Bronze in the Belgian and Polish Opens.  His picture, in line with his personality, is big.   :D
