Can you please follow a rising star who"s name is Gareth Ower.

Some say he has almost perfected his game (some say he"s a donkey) but the welsh wizard is the bookies favourite!

First exit of the day after 15 minutes

Jane Foster raised on the button

Carl Wilkinson Re reraised from the BB

Jane releases and John calls

both blinds see a  jh 6d 7c flop

In a flurry, chips fly in and John"s  jc js sees off Carl"s  :as: ah to give him an early double up and send Carl, from Lincolnshire, in the direction of the bar

Jane Foster is OUT..raised with  qc qd, back raised by Phu Phan in the SB, all in

She called and confronted   :as: ad

a  9c 7c 6c flop gave her hope but both turn and river blanked

Phu now going well over 20,000

Chris Bailey eliminated Duncan Godfrey with  5h 5s versus  7s 7h on a  :3h: 5d 6c flop, unraised pot. Matt Dale passed  ks 6s to heavy action on the flop, avoiding the  6h that hit the turn that would have caused him all sorts of trouble

Haydn Lyell 24,000
John Jackson 16,000
Adrian Stoyles 16,000
Title: Re: APAT European Championships Day1a Live Update
Post by: RioRodent on August 25, 2007, 16:15:30 PM
Well, I think that you may well get down to 18 or 19 players tonight if you played the full 14 levels... since I understand the plan is to stop if it gets down to 20, then 20 will be my guess.


Chip leader will have 155000 chips.

Title: Re: APAT European Championships Day1a Live Update
Post by: neeko on August 26, 2007, 10:12:49 AM
Well I think that days poker could best be described as YoYo"esk.

I had a good starting table, with Kinfishi sat in the Cut off to my BB, the table was tight and over a dozen players had left the event before we lost our first tablemate.

I lost 1k chips v eary when i raised with QK, flop came Q3x, SB who had been busy (even that early) raised 1k i INSTACALLED, turn x he bet 2k and i folded. He had Q3 (or so he said).

I played one interesting hand early on - I limped with   5h 5c and then called a small reaise (I think) flop came down  9d 5d :2s: MB1 raised 400 (blinds 50-100) and i reraised to 2000 (call), turn was a  td, I then raised 2k as i did not like this card but hoped he liked it less. MB1 folded saying something about the flush draw. Really not sure what he had, overpair i guess as i cant think why he would call my reaise on the flop wthout it.

I got to the lunch break with 15k just below average. The lack of a 150/300 level was a shame as it seamed to put everyone into lemming mode and a number of players on other tables left the event.

Shortly after dinner i got moved tables. I was UTG+1 when i looked down and saw  ad ah, I had 15kish with blinds of 600-1200 i was trying to work out whether i should push, limp or just raise to get a double up, when the poor Norwegian to my right (UTG) decided to stick a raise to 7k in I INSTASHOVED got a reluctant call from  qs ks and doubled up.

As the blinds then got higher and higher the yoyoing began. I called a shorties all in with A8 v his AQ (oops) down went a third of my chips. This got me down to 20k and with blinds at 800/1600 and 1k/2k play was easy all in or fold. I upset MB2 when i shoved with  ks 6s and got the raiser to fold. he had previouly folded AK as he did not want to race for half his chips, so i thought i would have fold equity. I had QK on a raised preflop board of Q77 and got MB2 to fold AK i think (he was not too happy at this point). I did though fold 44 to another of his raises when i was in the SB and he had 99.

By now the priorty was not to have to drive al the way back to Luton wth less than 10BB"s as a 120 mile 2 hour drive to only have no chips did not sound like fun, especially as only 30 of the 40 comeing back would make the money. I shoved any time i got an ace and stole some blinds. I managed to play 3 pots against Lazaroonie my KT lost to his AI with A9, we split a pot when i was all in with AK - as did he, and then I think i won his final allin when he had QK to my AK although the first card on the board was a Q to make things interesting. The Ace though saved me on the second card out. At some point in the middle of all this i played two pots involving MickyP he shoved with 3BB"s from UTG, and i called with A6 on the BB and lost a race to a floped J that hit his KJ. Then almost straight after when i was down to 12kish with blinds 1.5k/3k I was in the small blind with AJ. the button raised I went all in, MickyP went all in as well with QQ and the button called with KJ, I hit my ace, button hit his K and MickyP was no more which was unlucky as he had had no cards for ages then found some but lost. (he had found the odd Budwiser or 2 though).

I got a table move with 57k and 21 players left, there were 2 simultaneous all ins, the microshortie doubled up on my new table but another player was lost from my previous table.

So i have 57k, avg 75k. Blinds were 2k/4k when i left (although only 6 mins left on day 1a). Not sure what will happen tomorrow - whether they will play down to 20 as well or whether they will play exactly the same amount of time. I think they will stop when they get down to 20.

I am currenlty about 13th of the 20 left. Not sure what the blinds will then be when we get back, if they are rolled back for the whole level at 2k/4k then average will be 19BB"s and i will have 14BB"s and i will be comfortable. If we move onto 3k/6k then average will be 12BB"s I will have 9 and if i hit the BB straight away i could be down to 7.5BB"s in 2 hands and shoving from the button if it folded to me, could mean i manage a 4 hour round trip for 3 hands. However the key is to be positive so i will read the updates today with interest, and go back on Monday and reach the final and see what happens from there.

Review of Sat part 2:

I am stupid and forgot the important bits - Thanks to Des, Tighty and Tikay. I was suprised on entering the casino that Tighend recognised me (by my Blonde name) as i had only been to Glasgow, (that place near Birmingham that i cant spell {Wals@:?l}) and Luton. Also thanks to the dealers and staff in Luton.

The leaderboard from Sat:

1. Danny Palmer 170,500
2. Ben Walton 120,500
3. George Bedi 111,000
4. Gary Hartley 102,000

And if the girl in with the blonde hair and the little black dress could come back and say hello agian, to Billy the dealer, he would be more than happy, I thought we were about to be self deal when she spoke to him, he nearly vaulted over the table and chased across the room.
