We"ll miss Richard in Brighton but we will be amply compensated by the wit and guile of a completely independent Ian "HaworthBantam" Burnett. 

Ian will not be supporting Scotland  :D and I will not be supporting Ireland  ;D so your viewing pleasure will not be interupted by trashy, personal feeling induced comments like YOU"LL NEVER BEAT THE IRISH....

We will be video interviewing England player Bob Malin over the weekend, to find out his thoughts on becoming APAT's player of the year in season two. 

Bob is a real gentleman, similar in many ways to season one player of the year Kevin Shutt, and we hope to gain an insight into Bob"s game, poker background and his plans for season three. 

Look out for the interview and an article celebrating Bob"s achievement once the excitement about the European Team Championship dies down.

Caz here....

The first player out was........

Simon Auckland for England. He was down to 350 chips after losing his trip Jacks to a flush.

Not long after he picked up  ad1 :2d: with four limpers pre flop.  After the flop all checked, and a 2nd diamond on the turn, Simon has a flush draw and gut shot straight.

Simon pushes All In but doesn"t hit and top pair wins, and Simon is gone.

Another player down.....

Victoria Szilasi - Hungary All in against Darren Shallis (Wales) with AJ, Darren turns over KK

Flop K T X for inside straight draw needing Q, but no help on turn or river.

Darren wins with trip K"s

We"ve just lost Steve Stringer of England, when his Queens lost to the Aces of German player Thomas Schmidt.  Thomas made quads when the board had been dealt!  Tough start for England with two players out early, without scoring points.  The pressure increases on Bob Malin and Linda Iwaniak.

Interesting hand on table 2.  Geza Szabo of Hungary raised to 200 and Ireland"s Colin O"Prey called speculatively with 5 8 offsuit.  The flop brought K 8 8 Both checked. Turn was a 5.

All in after the turn.

River came a K.

Colin doubles through.

Pat O"Callaghan has used another life, knocking Leigh Wiltshire out in 3rd on table four.  All the chip went in pre-flop.  Pat with Two"s and Leigh with Tens.  First card on the flop....a Two.

Bad news for Welsh fans in that Graham Wills has just exited on table one.   Graham had Jack Queen of Diamonds against Phil Starrs King Ten of Diamonds.  The board threw up all sorts of possibilities with an Ace and a Jack and two diamonds.  A Queen on the turn gave Graham two pairs and Phil a straight.  A diamond on the river saw Phil with a King high flush against Graham"s Queen high flush.

Interesting hand....

Pat O"Callaghan A5 against Jurgen Bachmann AK

All in Pre flop.

A King on the flop, a 5 on the turn at which point Pat apologises to Jurgen, before the "inevitable" 5 fell on the river.  Jurgen took his beat well and Pat was very gracious about it, but the German looked a little dumbstruck for a couple of hands.
