Among the 45 returning players is Billy Spurway.
He recently turned 18 and his sister, Emma, and her husband Aaron, bought him into this tournament as his birthday present. This is his first live event having been playing at home for many years.
They thought that an APAT would be a perfect place for him to try his hand at the live game and he is making the most of it.
Good luck to him and the other 44 players remaining today.

The 8"s hold and Clive finishes in 43rd place.
-
Never mind the feature table, it"s all happening on Table 2, which eventually sees an all in and a call pre-flop...
Andrew Till ships it, Sohan Basu ships behind him and everyone else folds... Sohan a long way behind with his A s Qs against Andrew"s Ad Kc, and a flopped 8c Jc Jh isn"t great but he thinks of a Chop... Kd on Turn kills that thought and 8s River sends Sohan to the rail in 42nd.
-
Glen Gains moves all in for around 25k from mid position.
It folds to David Griffiths on the button. He carefully pushes all of his chips across the line - many more.

Glen has 5h 5c
David has Kh Ks
Billy has Ac Kd
4d 10h 8s David still ahead with the kings
Ad turn and Billy takes the lead.

-----
Shortly after and Table 2 sees action between Seat 4 Aaron Swaisland and Seat 7 Andrew Till
It all goes in pre-flop, Andrew at risk holding 10h 10c with around a 3k stack, against Aaron"s Kc Jc
Flop 9c Kd 7d puts Aaron in front, and two further clubs on Turn and River rubs salt into Andrew"s woulds as he walks to the rail.
-
Over on Table 3 we see David Griffiths call the all in of Amit Patel.. Amit shows Kh Ks and David Ac Kc and Board runs dry for David and Amit doubles up to around 32k, David reduced to around 7k

-
Shortly after losing most of his stack David Griffiths gets his 6k in with 4s 5s against the A s 3s of Anthony Johnson of started today as chip leader
Board runs out 2s 8d Qh 2d Kd and we lose a Season 10 Champion and 2-time Vegas winner David Griffiths in 38th place.

7d 8d 9s flop, Neil"s queen"s looking a little shaky but ahead.
6c on the turn sends Neil way behind and the 5 on the river may have put a straight on the board but Dave"s 10d will give him the win.
Neil on around 3k.
-
Ben Bryce and Edward Stanborough on Table 5 get it all in pre flop both holding K J, Edward having the smallest of edges with his being suited diamonds.
That edge got a bit better on a flop 7d 3s 6d, and paid off with 4d Turn... Edward doubles up and Ben is reduced to around 26k.

Huge hand on the feature table:
Diyary Khdir raises pre to 10k.
It folds to Mark Lassman who makes it 38k
Diyary moves each and every chip, stack by stack, across the line announcing "all in"
Mark asks for a count - 105k
He counts his chips and, after a few minutes, makes the call and quickly shows his Jc Js
Diyary shows Ah Kd
Mark is very pleased with this.
3s 8s 9d flop, it looks like Mark will double up if he can avoid the Ace and King...
A s as regular as clockwork, on the turn and now Mark needs a Jack to survive.
9c and Mark finishes the tournament in 22nd.

All in and a call on table 2:
Marcin Tomasz is the shorter of the two stacks, he has Qs 10c
Keiran Collins has Js 10d
Jh 8d 3s first card over sees Keiran take the lead and put Marcin at risk and behind.
The 10h turn good for both but Keiran still ahead and Marcin needs a queen.
But Keiran gets a Jc river and, with the full house, sends Marcin to the rail in 17th place.

Last ten minutes of Level 16 with blinds 3k/6k 600 ante.
Christopher Forth, again all in pre, this time Anthony Ritchie, on the button has re-raised all in causing Scott Berridge to, begrudgingly, fold his Ace King.
Chris turns over Ah 10c and is behind and at risk to Anthony"s Ac Qd (Scott not happy)
10d 5h 6c Christopher takes the lead - the whole table, including Anthony, commenting on his run of luck since going down to around 3k
And the Ks on the turn hits neither of the players left in but sees Scott put back into agony.
7h river and Christopher doubles up again. From 3k - around 65k in a matter of a level or two.
