APAT WCOAP Results at DTD

[TightEnd]

Twenty year old Kieran Plater from Walsall has won the first event of the 2013 APAT World Chmpionship of Amateur Poker at Dusk Till Dawn, the WCOAP Stud Championship. Kieran, the youngest player in the field, beat 42 other competitiors to take down the first prize of over £700, plus the APAT Gold Medal and WCOAP Bracelet.


This represents a notable double at DTD for the talented young player, after he finalled the £500,000 GTD Deepstack in Nottingham in 2012 for £12,000. Kieran, taught the game at a young age by his poker-playing Dad Ian, is now a mixed games specialist and is certainly a name to watch.

Kieran beat Vikrum Mehta from Hertfordshire to the title. This is Vikrum's fourth APAT event cash and follows his £25,000 DTD Deepstack second place cash at the beginning of 2013. Adam Sharples from Chester finished third and completed the medal positions.


The full final table result was as follows:

Tonight, Six Max event and conclusion of the Team Event

[TightEnd]

On another busy Day at the APAT WCOAP at Dusk Till Dawn three Bracelet events were concluded.

At the end of the two day twelve WCOAP £100 per player Team event England beat Italy in the final stage, the Heads Up Matches to secure the title. England, captained by APAT National Champion Steve Redfern and with a team also comprising double APAT Champion Carl Pilgrim, Stuart Ward, Asa McGrath and Tony Trippier, had secured a commanding lead on the first of the two days over a series of Hold Em and Pot Limit Omaha Sit and Go formats. Although Day Two saw the points haul tail off towards the end of the Day, they had done enough to secure a place in the title match against the Italian Team who had overtaken England in the points standings in the final round of Matches. Italy, finishing second had the consolation of knowing they had the top individual points scorer in Captain Luca Canella who won three of his five matches and was second in another.

In the Bronze Medal play off Team Canada defeated Team Spain to close out the medal positions. Amongst the other teams Portugal started well on Day One and lay second after the first phases of play. Sadly they faded out of the top four. The event saw the debut of Team Malaysia, a young team who impressed observers with their excellent play throughout.

In individual events, Day Two of the WCOAP saw two tournaments play out. The APAT WCOAP Six Max attracted a record field for an APAT side event, 211 runners creating a £10,550 prize pool. After thirteen hours play, and a six hour final table that saw dramatic fluctuations in chip stacks Angus Robertson beat Ross Freeman to the bracelet with Suhail Elorfi finishing third. Robertson won £2,100 for his victory and added value of an ISPT Day One seat.

The final table result was as follows:

1    Angus Macdonald    £2,788.85
2    Ross Freeman    £1,611.55
3    Suhail Elorfi    £965.00
4    Malachi Wizzard    £675.50
5    Mark Curwen    £530.75
6    Karl West    £434.25
7    Sophie Stynes    £386.00

The £250 buy in APAT High Roller attracted 53 players including a WSOP bracelet winner in Lawrence Gosney and many regular UK poker festival circuit players. The winner was the 2012 WPT Marbella runner up Peter Linton, a DTD regular who beat Alistair Carins to the title and won £4,372.

The final table result was as follows

1    Peter Linton    £4,372.50
2    Alistair Carins    £2,782.50
3    Nick Secker    £1,855.00
