The third day of the five day APAT WCOAP festival saw another two bracelets awarded, and the first Day One of the Main Event

In the Main Event Day 1a, 239 players took to the felt and by the close only 33 remained led by DTD regular from Scunthorpe, Natalia Breviglieri

The chip leaders:

Natalia Breviglieri          306000
Ryunosuke Mason-brown    242800
Jean-michel Ballocchi       19870



The last WCOAP Main Event, won by Dave "NoShoes" Garden, attracted 462 runners and the field by the close of entries on Sunday's Day 1b looks to eclipse that record-breaking field.

Saturday's side event saw the APAT WCOAP HORSE Championship, always a popular inclusion on the schedule, with mixed game devotees enjoying the range of games on offer. 40 players entered and the title,bracelet and ISPT Day1 seat was won by Leon Blackwell ahead of Bryn Green and Gary Jackson.

1    Leon Blackwell    £680.00
2    Bryn Green    £500.00
3    Gary Jackson    £360.00
4    Duncan Hodgkins    £200.00
5    Kevin O Hanlon    £140.00
6    Karl Bursford    £120.00



Finally, Saturday saw the APAT Cash Championship, a relatively new concept that saw 40 players sit down with £100 at 50p-£1 blinds and after three hours the top eight stacks took to a final table. Players could leave at any point, but the largest stack at the end of the final three hours won the title, bracelet and an ISPT Day One seat. Incredibly, victorious England team captain only a day earlier, Steve Redfern, triumphed, turning his £100 investment into £1,143.50. Chris Webber finished second with £773 and Giuseppe Maggisano 3rd with £534.50.

With three APAT WCOAP events, plus a regular evening tournament place taking place, Sunday at DTD saw every table in use, in a packed club.

For Day1b of the Main Event, 212 players joined the 239 who played 1a to create a 451 runner field and a £45,100 prize pool, with the event coming to a conclusion on Monday night. The chip leaders from 1b were:

and they are at the head of the 62 runners returning for Day Two Play today.

Easter Monday saw the conclusion of the 5 day APAT WCOAP festival, 5 days which saw over 900 entries into the range of events across poker disciplines from Hold Em to HORSE and Razz.

64 players returned from the 451 starters over two days of the Main Event. The event was won by DTD regular, Lithuanian Erimas Livonas who was chip leader going into the final table and maintained the position for most of the final stages. His nearest challenger, and eventual runner-up was Tod Wood, the only APAT Champion on the final and seeking to become the third ever double Champion but he was to fall narrowly short.

In third place was DTD veteran Raj Dhiri who nursed a short-stack well then achieved the double ups he rquired to move into contention, latterly through Livonas which moved the Lithuanian out of the chip lead. Cruelly for Dhiri though, and in a hand that shaped the destiny of the tournament, his pocket Kings were out-drawn by Dhiri's Ace-King three handed, all-in pre-flop with an Ace on the flop.

Heads Up Livonas and Wood each began with seventy big blinds, but such was the aggressive styles on show that it was never likely to be a protracted affair and so it proved, with Wood's top pair top kicker being out-drawn by Livonas' bigger pair on the turn to seal him victory.

Livonas' victory secured him first prize of £10,000 and an ISPT Day Two seat that sees him take his place at Wembley in late May, the seat worth €3,000

The full final table result was as follows

1    Eirimas Livonas
2    Tod Wood
3    Raj Dhiri
4    David Denny
5    Mike Sweeney
6    Mark Crump
7    Ryunosuke Mason-brown
8    Ian Bills







Monday also saw the ever-popular Heads Up Championship, sold out at 64 players. The winner was another DTD regular, Weswell Ellis who beat WCOAP Seven Card Stud runner up Vikrum Mehta to the title. In the bronze medal match Kevin O'Hanlon beat Richard Sheils to the final medal place.
