I played in the APAT Regional Qualifier in Edinburgh yesterday and finished 6th of 23 with the top 3 getting paid and qualifying for a Seat in the APAT Irish Amateur Poker Championship in Dublin on 14th & 15th June 2008. On my final hand I had raised from UTG with A8o and was re-raised by Paul Scholes lookalike Steven McLeod whose aggression at the final table would put Gus Hansen to shame. He was raising almost every pot and admitted to me at the break that he doesn't play 'conventional poker'. Anyway, I called, he sucked air in through his teeth signaling to me that he didn't want a call, then flipped over T7o. The horrid 7 on the turn put me out in 6th :(
Congrats to BillyHo for winning it from a very short stack after a Final Table run-in with QQ against Scholesy's All-In re-raise with 86o which flopped two pair and rivered a Full House, and to David Blacklaw and Johnny Gibb who cashed for £150 and £120.
'Twas a strange day ... I cracked AA twice, the second time against Richard Gould with Q6o. A 6 flopped and I called his 1/2 pot bet and then his insta-push when another 6 fell on 4th street.
I'll be interested to see how many play in tonight's Qualifiers on BlueSquare after almost all Regionals reported a less than normal attendance yesterday.

great day was had neil. u were unlucky not to go further, scholes is prob the most aggressive player i have ever been at a table with, so it was a learnin experience too. as i said i nearly laid those queens down! i got my revenge tho with a super call with A2 to send him home!.....unshakeable faith!!
it was real nice to have and apat win, made even more special by the fact i wasn't in any races and didnt give out any bad beats, all just solid play. lookin forward to dublin now, lets hope my good run lasts till then!!!
ps dont be givin out that tell of mine u spotted ;-P
