WCOAP Day 4, Events #7 NLHE & #8 Mixed Game
« on: March 31, 2015, 12:11:45 PM »
Welcome to Day 4 of the APAT World Championships of Amateur Poker held at Aspers Casino, Stratford, London

Today sees our first "pure" Hold "em event, our Event #7 the No Limit Hold'em Championship and, later today, Event #8 Mixed Game Championship (round of each NLHE/PLO).

IrishTom is your APAT Host and I will be adding my "monkey at a laptop" services to provide updates during the day.

Event #7 is off an running and features has a capacity 180 runners with a 10k Stack and 30 Minute Levels.

Players are still registering and there"s a good chance this will reach full strength.

Late registration for 90 minutes.

As a reminder

To enter Aspers Casino and play poker you must join as a member and photo ID is required - to register for a poker event, then you must provide your membership card to the poker room cash desk to have it swiped.

To register "on the day" at the casino will take just short of 10 minutes for the reception to complete the process - therefore WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that ALL new members complete the process via the Aspers Website in advance of arrival - then on arrival it should take no more than 30 seconds once you have shown your photo ID.

You need to ensure you allow enough time to enter Aspers, and join as a member, and then get to the poker room to have your card swiped and to register you into the event - BEFORE THE EVENT START TIME.

Opinions...over or under?

We"re creeping up...now at 143 and they"re still coming in dribs and drabs.

Weather is better today than it has been for the past few days....windy last night and again this morning so it"s keeping the clouds off.

Hamsters behaving today but the Aspers wifi is spotty and tends to get overworked especially when Tom is uploading the photos.

Fortunately, I bring my own wifi so I tend to use that as my primary resource.

As Tom mentioned, Late Registration is now closed and we maxed out at 158 which is excellent for a noon event on working Tuesday.

Level 4 has now started at 100/200 with a break at the end of this level.

Despite the large starting stack we"ve already had more than a few bust-outs.

134 left from 158 after 3 levels.

Due to traffic I was late getting to the update desk and missed out on eating beforehand.

We"re spoiled for choices here at Westfield...not sure what I"m in the mood for.

What do you recommend?
