2010 Affiliate Series of Poker Results

Entering the Final Table third in chips was enough for Messaoud Bouchaib to win the 2010 ASOP, the $6,000 prize for first and the ASOP Gold and Diamond Bracelet worth $10,000 that went with the win.

The 2010 London Affiliate Conference kept up the tradition of holding the Affiliate Series of Poker (ASOP) thanks to sponsorship from Cake Poker.

The affiliates and affiliate managers battled it out with a field of 54 players hunting down there piece of the cash prizes.

The 2-day event saw 31 players eliminated at the end of Day 1 leaving the remaining 23 players, with an average chip stack of 11,700, to duke it out on Day 2.

With a super aggressive structure seeing blinds go up every 20 minutes, players turned up the heat on Day 2 resulting in 15 players being eliminated in 40 mintes! Finalt table names and chip counts looked like this:

Seat 1: Chris Phillips – 40,000 chips

Seat 2: Nick Gandy – 28,000 chips

Seat 3: Antal Babarczi – 57,000 chips

Seat 4: Vlad Pinte – 22,000 chips

Seat 5: Anders Van Riesen – 52,000 chips

Seat 6: Vael Haber – 16,000 chips

Seat 7: Messaoud Bouchaib – 45,000 chips

Seat 8: Tony James – 16,000 chips

The 300/600 blinds led to more super aggressive play and Tony James going home as the bubble boy. That left the following prizes to be scooped:

7th place $250 – Vlad Pinte

6th place $500 – Nick Gandy

5th place $750 – Anders Van Riesen

4th place $1,200 – Vael Haber

3rd place $1,700 – Antal Babarczi

Heads-up play began between Messaoud and Chris with Messaoud holding a 4-1 chip lead. The final hand came when Messaoud raised pre-flop for more than Chris’ remaining stack. Chris made the call and it was Messaoud’s K-2 suited against Chris’ Q-high. The board held no love for Chris and Messaoud Bouchaib became the 2010 ASOP Champion!

2nd place $3,000 – Chris Phillips

1st place $6,000 plus the ASOP Gold and Diamond Bracelet worth $10,000 – Messaoud Bouchaib
