lol love the fact that you changed your mind here - not sure how alternates will get in to this one.... surely no-one can donk off 200 Big Blinds in first two levels of a Pot Limit Holdem game!! but then again......

30 and 30.
Look forward to seeing / playing with Tabatabai. I did wonder whether any of the big name Vic regulars might fancy it - maybe not the overt celeb crowd like the Channings, Corens etc. but maybe like a Willie Tann, Joe Grech or something.
See you tomorrow,
P.
Sigh, down to a little over 5K already. Flopped a set of threes, but the other fella flopped top pair and the flush draw and made the flush on the river.

I don"t mean to be critical but is Rich doing something different to Leigh with his positioning of the microphone? Leigh I can hear clearly, Rich is "blurry". Just me?
And Tighty, are you the b"std child of Ted Lowe & "Whispering" Bob Harris?
Clark Mckenzie is out.
He shoves with 9d 7d and gets a caller in Dylan Herbert with pocket 4"s.
Board of 2 A 7 4 9
So, Clark Mckenzie departs in 12th place.
At the risk of sounding like I actually like the guy! ;D
A title long overdue for John "Mr Consistent" Murray

Excellent coverage guys, just got back from a day on the Cornish coast to follow the ft. The coverage via the feed at the mo is very intermittent. Is it a problem my end or is it a broader technical issue?
All the best to John Murray,

Cruel river there for Don Roberts who went in ahead, and was ahead until John hits the straight on the river
Don Roberts finishes second winning £2,000
and John Murray wins the UK Amateur Poker Championship for £3,500 and a GUKPT seat
Well done to both, and especially to John who has been "due" with a number of finals and deep finishes

Razz;
JP Round, exits out in 6th spot
after all the cards were dealt he was in an unusual spot where he didnt have a hand and the 7 high of Alex Gardiner took it down.
We are now in the money with 5 remaining.
Kitty Lea is out the last hand before the break.
She raises to 1k, Ed Gascoigne reraises to 3.2k. Kitty goes all in, and Ed calls for another 3.5k.
Kitty has pocket kings, Ed has ah 4h. And the killer ace on the turn.
The rest of the table weren"t happy.
Fantastic result John long overdue a worthy winner.
Fantastic weekend my poker prowess aside ???
Well done APAT and what great food and service from the Vic.
Will post properly when the mists clear as lots to talk about, and very unlucky Paul McGuinness. (Leader of the Unbluffables)
Ian
Where DID you learn that move Suz :o ?
:2s: 7s
I"m all in!!
Wow - terrific weekend. Despite crashing early in the Main Event to a pretty nasty beat, this was one of the best poker weekends I can remember. Atmosphere was excellent, despite the card room"s obvious lack of appreciation for APAT. Food was probably the best I"ve ever had in a casino. Live Razz tourney was an experience, and I"ll be gob-smacked if Alex Gardiner hasn"t won it (he has just assumed my "luckbox" title for keeps!).
Cash games were just plain weird (..."I have top pair with 2 kicker, so I call your 2xpot £150 overbet on the river on a flushed, paired board..... oh you have me beat, nh!...") £600 profit for two cash sessions - really didn"t want to stop!
Massive congratz to MR CONSISTENT JOHN MURRAY!! If ever a guy deserves to take one of these down, it has to be you John. Over the moon for you!
To Joe, Charles, Gareth, and Gareth"s Dad.... we really should have let the Razz go and stayed with that plonker on the cash table. Moving was definitely -EV.
To Dan Owston - how many packages??? And yes, Baileys and Tia Maria - definitely a tart"s drink! :)
Cheers to Des and the team (too many to mention nowadays!) for yet another outstanding APAT event.
I couldn"t believe you all left (you could have let yourselves get blinded away for the first level). I had a train booked and was thinking of just buying a new ticket and staying. He had a £300 stack when I went as well, although I"m sure he managed to lose it all.

Rodders - I can"t put a face to your name.... which seat did you have at that table?
Another great weekend. Fantastic result John. Had to come eventually and great to see you take it down.
Many thanks to all at APAT for making these events better each time. Can"t wait for the next one.To Joe, Charles, Gareth, and Gareth"s Dad.... we really should have let the Razz go and stayed with that plonker on the cash table. Moving was definitely -EV.
Many thanks to all of you for leaving a seat free for me on that table. £300 profit in 30 minutes. That guy was the best ATM i"ve ever played against. I"m all in, insta-call. Ooops, what you got. J-5 for third pair. Oh, i"ve got pocket aces, i think i win. :) I was ready to offer to lend him some money when he finally left!
Well done john great result mate !! congrats to Don for 2nd too and all other finaltablists

I think we can safely say Kitty Lea has vastly increased her poker knowledge having been sat next to you for quite a few hours on Saturday.
I"m sure she is destined for poker stardom now. ;D

I think Alan"s game is often misunderstood.
So, that"s it. What a rush! I thought I had a chance of winning but, having got close before, I thought it might never happen. I always find these APAT tournaments an incredible experience, irrespective of the result. It"s great to catch up with the guys who have become good friends although we are spread all over the place and just meet occasionally. Then there is the controlled excitement of the game; the chance of going deep; just soaking up the occasion; the sheer unfairness of some outcomes where people"s tournaments get destroyed by bad luck; the craziness of some of the side-games; the degeneracy.
To Don, Alan, David, Barrie, Perry, Colin, Darren, Dougal - I know how you feel. Also regular deep-finishers like Graham, Ken & Suzanne. It is wonderful and horrible to get so close and then miss out. At the beginning you would be delighted to get to the FT, but when you do, it"s like a kick in the stomach when you get knocked out. One of the features of APAT is the way people take this situation so cheerfully despite having spent two days playing exceptionally well to get so far and then going card-dead / getting unlucky or whatever at a crucial time. I saw people leaving the FT with good humour but I felt for you cos I"ve been there, replaying exit hands and other hands that could have gone differently for ages afterwards. At least I don"t have to do that this time.
It was a strangely calm tournament for me. Although a few things didn"t go to plan, I was never in deep trouble apart from at the start of the FT. I was all-in 3 times in the whole event, in good shape each time, but only called and had to race for my life once. I never got lucky but, crucially, I never got unlucky either. My most vulnerable point was on the first hand of the FT when I was down to 93k, second-last of the 9, having been beaten up by Alan Lake not long before. With BB at 8k, Perry Garland raised to 20k UTG with 150k behind. I had QQ and reraised all-in, which he snapped with AK. My tournament could have finished right there on the 1st hand, but I got through and with the blinds & antes, I now had slightly over 200k and was right back in the game.
There were so many great players but for me, Alan Lake was the stand-out player of the tournament, while Perry was a revelation. I think Alan"s game is often misunderstood. All through the FT (in fact since part-way through Day 1), I thought he was the most likely winner. My tournament was dominated by these two players - I was nearly always on a table with one of them. These ultra-aggressive players can be difficult to contain as they run over the table but I enjoy the excitement (and entertainment) of playing against them. On Day 2, I was moved to sit in between them - Perry on my right, Alan on my left. Fanbloodytastic - the seat from hell! It didn"t go well. I played a couple of hands badly and Alan punished me for it but I managed to hang on til the FT, when seats were redrawn.
After my double-up, some general mayhem followed, usually involving Alan and/or Perry. The most extreme moment was when, both holding big stacks, Perry raised, Alan reraised, Perry shoved, Alan called and both showed K7. Darren"s poker-face slipped while exclaiming "What?" and nearly swallowing his tongue. Hats off to him though for analysing the situation and having the guts to follow through with a high-risk high-reward strategy of his own. It didn"t pay off this time but could have been dramatically successful. Down to 5, I was in mid-position when I unexpectedly (especially to me) knocked out Barrie & then David in quick succession and suddenly I had the chip lead, though there was little between the 3 of us. Leigh came to the FT and asked me to slow down cos they were struggling to keep up with the interviews! I felt bad for Barrie who had played aggressively previously but went card-dead on the FT. David, on the other hand, had done really well to finish where he did from starting the FT with just 7 BBs. Next thing I knew, Alan & Don were all-in against each other and Alan was unlucky to go out third.
HU for an hour against Don wasn"t easy but I felt totally in the zone and we were still having a good time even at that stage. Halfway through, Don asked me if I had a plastic bag in case he had to take the Cup home on the Tube, which I think is representative of the atmosphere in which the whole tournament and FT was played. The last hand was a coin-flip that I was happy to take. When I bet the flop and Don reraised all-in it was very likely that he had hit or had a PP but I believed my K-high flush draw plus two high cards gave me 15 outs (9xhearts, 3xK, 3xJ) against Don"s probable AT, KT, 99, 88, etc, which would make me 54-55% favourite. I didn"t put him on QQ, but if I knew his hand I may have called anyway with 12 outs as I would be a small 46/54 underdog but would still be chip-leader if I lost. The Turn increased my outs to 14, with the 2 remaining Qs becoming my cards rather than his and then it was over. A slight outdraw, but more of a coin-flip. It was a strange feeling - playing & focusing, on and on and then kazoom. I was ready to continue playing, but there was no game. Presentation, photos, interview, talk to eveyone and then I just felt ready to sleep right there in the casino.
What can you say about the organization? Flawless as always on the part of APAT and flawless as not always on the part of the venue. You can really see the difference at the best cardrooms. Top-class dealing throughout from very experienced & friendly dealers, good food, efficient & unobtrusive chipping-up towards the end, all reflecting good organization.
A shout-out to everyone watching the streaming - thanks for the support and thanks to Duffs putting it on the big screen - that must have been surreal. Also the guys who stayed to rail live. And thanks for all the messages of support on here during the event and since. Also the texts and private messages. Finally Des, Rich & Leigh - back of the net once again.
Amazing. Can"t believe it!
I thought I was all in pre-flop

It (incorrectly) said AIPF on this thread, but if you had watched the live feed instead of reading about it second-hand you"d know what had happened.

There was definitely action post flop.

Thanks for that Leigh I would have thought that"s how I would have played it getting all in on a low flop after no raise pre but when I saw that post I had it in my head that we were all in pre flop must admit it all happened so fast was a bit of a blurr.
There is no tape John. I think what you say is right I raised you flat called, I then have it in my head that I reraise all in and you call but that is wrong. Obviously the flop came and i went all in and you called. And that"s the end of the story and the morale is never trust everything you read in the press. ;D Soz mate.
