APAT Regional Championship - April 5th

[DesD]

The 4th leg of the APAT Regional Championship will be played live at twelve casinos across the United Kingdom on April 5th and at one on April 12th.

Entry

Buy-ins will be available direct from the casinos on the day of play, or via pre-registration (through phone or by calling into the casino) from Saturday March 29th. All seats are allocated subject to availability.

Please confirm casino opening time and event start time with your local casino when pre-registering your event as times are subject to change. Generally, the casinos open at 12.30pm, with play starting at 2.30pm on the day of play (Walsall 1.30pm open / 3.30pm start).

The entry fee will be £20.00 and the events will be registration fee free.

Tournaments

Regional Championship events will hold a maximum of 80 players.

Players will start each event with 3,000 chips and the event will run to an APAT structure (without the 150 / 300 level) with 30 minute levels. The 150 / 300 level has been omitted to ensure these events complete comfortably on one day.

The final two tables and the final table will be dealer dealt, so players should come prepared to self deal for a significant part of the tournament.

Prizes

The top nine players will win APAT Ranking Points. If you finish in the top nine, please ensure the casino note your name for points allocation.

The top three in each Regional Championship event will win Gold, Silver & Bronze Medals.

The top 10% of finishers will gain a £75 entry to the Scottish Amateur Poker Championship from the prize pool. The event is being held at the Gala Maybury Casino in Edinburgh on May 3rd & 4th.

The top 10% of finishers will gain a share of the remaining prize pool. All monies will be paid out.

Additional Notes

Refunds will not be offered where seats to National events are won and then not claimed. Players will have the option to claim a credit to gain a seat at one of the next four APAT National events of similar buy in value or members will be able to advertise the seat for sale on the APAT Seat Exchange board at face value. APAT will only ratify seat exchanges that have gone through this board. Contact Customer Services (customer@apat.com) in all cases.

Due to a scheduling clash, leg 4 will take place at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham one week after all other venues. In the spirit of APAT, players will be able to participate at Dusk Till Dawn and one other leg 4 event if they choose. However, players will not be able to claim two sets of Ranking points or two National Championship seats. A player's single best result will count should either eventuality occur. Players will be able to claim prize money and medals at either event.

another point for me in brighton for 9th.

bit of a nightmare game all in all

won a few pots here and there to stay about even but pretty bad card wise, till i pick up aces in the sb.couple of flat calls (100 blinds) and the guy on the button raises to 500 ,i raise to 1000, he goes all in and i insta call.


he turns overthe other 2 aces
cue loads of live pokers rigged gags,still at least the pot was split.

ended up pushing in late position with 9s and getting a reluctant call from the big stack with kj, he hit a king and that done me

and i did predict it!!

[WASP]

I blew it in Walsall finished 11th of 27 but I was dealing for 4 hours!! Second time I have been here and there has been no dealers, is that normal ?? Big ballyhoo when I arrived at the table so I said I'll deal until first break but then nobody would take over, so I continued and the ridiculous thing was I was even getting criticised for shit hands and flops etc , then storming off blaming me when they went out.

I reckon I should have been paid minimum wage for today and compensation for the abuse I received, I work that out to be £75 you owe me Des.

[GeordieGaz]

well its always been self dealt until the final table at newcastle... not sure about anywhere else!

Unlucky for u tho wasp...... did u not even get a drink for doing it??
