Hello!
Welcome back everyone and a warm welcome to new and returning players.
When I do these write-ups I obviously take the last one and then roll it forward. Due to missing some games in season 12 I didn’t do any last season so the last one is from game six, season 11, and I was pleased to remember I’d embedded the below picture, which still makes me laugh. He’s just won the APAT World Championship Main Event and yet he looks like you’ve just taken a shit in his cornflakes.
So, starting this season we had:
| Name | Name | Name |
| Adam Phelan | Graham Gorton | Paul Foy |
| Adam Smith | Jay Scott | Sean Priest |
| Andy Overton | John Harfield | Steve Healey |
| Ant Williams | Kevin Berrie | Steve Redfern |
| Brian Yates | Kev O’Driscoll | Tod Wood |
| Chris Baker | Laura Rhoden | Tony Griffiths |
| Claire Thornton | Matt Wilson | Tony Trippier |
| Dawn Wilson | Matt Kay | Wez Simpson |
| Gareth Howard | Nic Rawlings |
Stuff that happened
Early action saw Adam Smith get quad kings to win the hi-hand. Lucky bugger.
Andy Overton bluffed little old me off QQ on a J77 K 2 board. Yeah, yeah, well played.
New boy Wez was first out and so will be the proud wearer of the Shirt of Shame next time round.
Kevod thought he was first out (all in with JQ on TQX flop, called by Ant with JK, 9 on the turn, never in any doubt) so was relieved to see the SoS already taken.
Gaz hit his 3rd of 29 sets of the night J to cripple Claire with KK v Claire’s JQ on a XJQ X K board.
Tony T got knocked out in 12th making a bad shove with KQs when he was obviously behind. (© Ant Williams)
Nic made a better shove with 63s but with the same outcome.
Gaz kept seeing more set(t)s than a badger’s arse.
Ant was the:
Final table
| Position | Pts | Name | Comment |
| 10 | 1 | Andy Overton | Andy: “Went all in with 95o”Tod: “Did you shove then?”Andy: [Looks witheringly at me] “No, I called with it.”Tod: “Doh” |
| 9 | 2 | Graham Gorton | QJ vs John Harfield’s 88, which held. |
| 8 | 3 | John Harfield | Brave shove with A4 on 789 flop but Gaz had Q9. |
| 7 | 4 | Paul Foy | 33 vs Gaz 88, no help. |
| 6 | 5 | Steve Healey | A close one but 73 lost out to AT on an A7A 4 T board. |
| Huge hand between Matt Kay and Gaz, not sure what happened but Gaz seemed to think Matt was all in so called a bet and flipped over his AJ. More betting then with Gaz’s cards face up but in any event the pot went to Matt with AQ. | |||
| 5 | 6 | Kevin Berrie | AT no match for Gaz’s 88, AIPF. |
| Adam Smith wins the h-hand jackpot. Do you ever get déjà vu? Quad jacks this time. Very lucky bugger! | |||
| 4 | 8 | Adam Smith | AJ no match for Gaz’s A2, 2 on the river. |
| 3 | 10 | Tony Griffiths | 9T no match for Gaz’s 77, AIPF. A first and a third in last two games for Tony though, playing nicely. |
| Runner up | 12 | Gareth Howard | Crucial hand was Matt AK vs Gaz AT, the AK holding. Then final hand saw Gaz with a 60:40 chance with QJ vs A7, but the A7 improved with A on flop. |
| Winner | 15 | Matt Kay | Congratulations to Matt on his first win I believe. Very well played! |
Cash game stuff
The usually relatively sedate cash game was thrown into turmoil by Andy “raise every hand” Overton.
Bri took a huge pot early on cleaning out virtually the whole table in a £100 pot.
We also ventured into 5 card triple draw. Tony: “So how many times do we get to draw new cards?” Doh.
Also a couple of games of 7-card stud. Bri to Tony: “Aw, forget you had three face down cards!” Andy: “Wow Bri, that is special.”
Andy had a fantastic finish and ended up the big winner, over £100 up on the night.

Good luck to the BCPC in the APAT team event!
Website
Website duties have passed to me so by the December game I hope to have been able to figure out how to get on there the results table, league table and calendar of games/events. Then put more stuff on as I get more knowledgeable/confident.
TV
It’s DC superheroes a-go-go at the moment with Gotham, The Flash and Arrow all going strong. I’m also weirdly enjoying Forever on Sky1 Thursdays, though Boardwalk Empire it ain’t. The Walking Dead remains the walking awesomeness. And if you fancy catching up on something else then Tony recommends Under the Dome ha ha ha.
Auf Wiedersehen!
