Des I"m just about to fly out and you"ve got me worried. I e-mailed you just before the Scottish Open and informed you that Nigel Johnson and myself couldn"t make it to Edinburgh and would like to transfer the seats to Dublin. You said no problem, but I can"t see our names on the player list. As Pike said Don"t panic!!!!

Dewi guinness count =9

Derek Liddle from Glasgow ran KK into AA on a Queen high flop 5 minutes into the tournament

He lost half his stack, but did well to get off his hand on the river.

Simon Rivers from Leeds had the Aces

Simon says "I was unlucky not to double through"

"Pints A Plenty" Dewi apparently took down the pre APAT scalps tournament last night at the Fitzwilliam, for the second year running.  He scooped around 2.5k euros we believe!
Title: Re: APAT Irish Amateur Championship - Live Update - Day One
Post by: APAT on June 14, 2008, 15:59:52 PM
Incredibly there were no exits during the first two levels so several potential alternates have been left disappointed.

Post by: TightEnd on June 14, 2008, 16:06:03 PM
Updating at the Fitz is quite a task. the comp is held over 3 rooms on three levels. there is also a manual seat draw so no player list! So its a case of being in the right place at the right time to report or, more likely, being on the stairs on the way to report and missing the action!
Title: Re: APAT Irish Amateur Championship - Live Update - Day One
Post by: TightEnd on June 14, 2008, 16:09:46 PM
My initial wanderings ascertained the following

Chip leader is Chris Filus..Foggy...with 23,000

going well Alan Armitage, Stuart Langford, Jon Woodfield and Dewi James all 13-15,000

Danile Phillips is down to just over 5,000

James Eccles had AQ on a board of AQ7. Happy days you would think

but after a 6 6 turn and river he lost to his opponents QQ and is now nursing a short-stack..1,200

Caroline Burgess is OUT. I looked at her, She looked at me.

"Bad?" I enquired

"very" she grimaced

and I left it at that as she faced the unprecedented prospect of railing Ian rather than vice versa  
Title: Re: APAT Irish Amateur Championship - Live Update - Day One
Post by: TightEnd on June 14, 2008, 16:11:07 PM
So Eck is in the bb with 1,200

there are six limpers

board K 5 5 4

the sb bets 300

Ecks pushes his 1200 in

SB shows K9

Eck resignedly shows K6

River 6

Eck now back over 3,000

Jack is still in. Taciturn as ever, a brooding presence at a table including Bainn, who is jabbering away in a masterclass of speechplay and LAG poker.

We are starting level 4 with blinds of 100 - 200 and have only had 6 exits to date.

I spoke to Rob Swindells during the break and he reported a hand which he credited to Paul Jackson of APAT Academy fame.

Rob called an early raiser with  8c  5c suited (!) and managed to extract over 4k chips when the flop delivered  :as: 5d 5h.  Our unlucky early raiser, who showed an  ah folded to a sizeable river bet from Rob, and is left contemplating his tournament life, while Paul Jackson is left contemplating his reputation.

Meanwhile, Rob has around 15k.

Stuart Oliver - 9k - Amazingly, having survived a Kings versus Aces banana skin earlier.

Tim Magnus - 14k
David Graham - 9k

I"m standing with Grant Speirs and Billy Leishman.  Grant has made a good recovery and is now sitting with 16.5k.  Billy is on 17k and both are well positioned to go forward after the break.  Neither is happy with my saying that.  BOK!  Lets see...

If you are looking for a chip count on any player we don"t know, please look at the player images via the link below, click on the image of the player you want the count on, and to the right of the image it will say "photo x of 123".  If you post the picture number with your request we will try to locate them and do a count.

A remarkable thing has happened with Ian Burnett.  He still has chips.  We feel counting them might have a bok like effect, so we are staying away at the moment.  We"re in trouble if he makes day two though....

Just back from this (me = photo 119), very enjoyable. Lost a 35k pot in the 400/800 level which would have put me over the 50k mark when my AK was no good against AJ. Then thought it would be a good idea to just give away my remaining chips, because i"m just a very generous guy. Excellent structure, and will definitely play again next year.
