Good morning everyone and welcome back to Namur for Day 1B of the Belgian Amateur Poker Championship!

Day 1A saw 86 players and after 12 levels of play, only 18 of them bagged their chips to come back on Sunday for the conclusion.

We lost most of our BWIN players and qualifiers; the only one surviving Day 1A was Geert Sluys. He has 48.300, which is well below the average stack of about 73.000). But with blinds starting at 1000-2000/300 he still has chips to play.

Chipleader is Italian Salvatore Stancamdiano who has 146.900 as he edged out Ruben Teck with 145.300.
Poker Belgique player Kevin Pietquin is in 3rd with 128.300.


Day 1B promises to be a big one... We"ll have a dozen of Brits in the field today; and numerous Dutchies and Germans are also expected to make their way over here.

5 more BWIN players will also be playing; one of them is Joachim Wallaert who currently sits 2nd in our APAT Belgium Player of the Year ranking.

And we have Jerry Vandyck and Jan Kusters; who were both part of last season"s APAT Team Belgium.

Good luck to everyone; play will be begin at 14:00 sharp!

With little over an hour to go before the start of day 1B, word has it we already have 138 players putting their names down (not all of them have actually registered or paid yet, but still)...

Wow, that"s an incredible turnout. Well done!

[AceOnTheRiver]

Big pot on table 13 already...

Seat 5 opens and is call by seat 10. C- bets a JJT flop and is called. Turn is a 2nd heart. Seat 5 fires 1k is raised to 2.5 and tank calls. River is seat 5 checks and seat 10 fires 3.5k which is raised to 7. Seat 10 eventually calls and is shown 44 for the turned house... He"s down to 5k

SusiePea also on this table with me and is raking in chips as we speak

[DodgyEnd (Tom APAT.be)]

Ladies and gentlemen... We will be close to a sell out crowd today.

It"s still pretty hectic trying to seat players; the casino is waiting on a few extra dealers.
But me might get close to the 200-mark...

[Curlarge]

Raise 2nd hand with   . Flop   . No action.

[DodgyEnd (Tom APAT.be)]

We saw our Red Jacks player Ken Vandenplas get involved in a hand.

Ken is the button on seat 2. Seat 6 calls preflop, Ken raises to 150. The blinds get out of the way and the player in seat 6 makes the call.

Ken cbets 250 the   flop and gets a call.

Action slows down after the   turn.
on the river; Ken bets 625 and his opponent folds.

Small pot for Ken.

[AceOnTheRiver]

Raise 2nd hand with   . Flop   . No action.

That"s cos J9 is the nuts!
Shame about the lack of action though

[DodgyEnd (Tom APAT.be)]

Tables 12 and 13 are very interesting as we have a lot of familiar players there:

Table 12
S2 Joachim Wallaert
S3 Pedro Mahieu
S5 Matt Carter
S7 Simon Brooke
S8 Philippe Lestrade


Table 13
S2 JP Round
S6 Sue Pearson
S8 Jerry Vandyck


Table 7 sees Richard Baker and Rieuwert Fleer sitting together; on table 4 we have Davy Goffin and Jan Kusters.
And on table 2 we have both Ace of Spades players sitting side by side. Niki Raskin is on seat 4 and Omer Aydin on seat 5.


If any of the players following us have a interesting hand to post... please feel free to do so!!

[LombBomb]

Down to 13k AK flushed out by Q7, bricked nut flush draw on river.

[AAroddersAA]

I tried the J9 thing and flop came K-Q-4. If at first you don"t succeed.......

[Quadran666 (Christoff Apat.be)]

Ger splits a pot 3-way

Ger at the Button and the SB call a preflop raiser (225 at level 50-100)

They all check the flop   probably all afraid of running int a draw.

at the turn gives action by the SB betting out 325 but called by both players

The river makes it a straight on the felt with the   and they all 3 check it out. No one holds 2 clubs and they split 3-way
