Well that was a quick aggressive final. Neil dominated large parts of it, finding huge hands when it counted, winning races and running out a deserved winner.

this was an open tournament, not a restricted torunament like APAT Nationals. Players were quite able to deal if they so wished, understandable given the presence of professionals. Not allowed in the Amateurs only comps "played to win"

Congrats to Neil Blatchley though Good luck in the GUKPT.
In most APAT finals there is huge amounts of play after the first few exits. This time there was no exit for over a level, meaning by the time the blinds got bigger, stacks were shorter than normal.
We then had a huge chip leader, so the other stacks remained small
-
Deal
Neil takes £6,720
Jason Jones takes £5,000
Dean Morris and Dylan Herbert take £3,500 each

Prizes were £8190, £4680, £3,510 and £2,340
why would you want to do a deal with 2 players so short let the other 3 fight it out then deal heads up or the deal was fair if neil got the seat as well without playing on
well done neil apat and a gbpt double
-
Well done Neil!!!!
Ship it to PL mate!
-
Congrats to Neil on the win. Wow, what a quick final table.
Great updates again Rich. Thick and fast they were - I couldn"t get time to interact.
