The APAT UK Amateur Poker Championships held at the Grosvenor Casino Walsall was the first event of APAT’s third season and was once again sponsored by BlueSquare.com.
Seats for the 200 player strong event sold out within minutes confirming APAT’s popularity and highlighting the attraction of these events to a wide range of poker players.
The APAT buy in to National Championship events remains at £75 for Season Three, and all live events will remain registration free for the third consecutive season.
The structure of events has evolved to include antes in Season Three. Levels increase to 45 minutes and players once again start all main events with 10,000 chips.

The second event in APAT’s first season of live events took place over the first weekend in December in the sumptuous Aspers casino in Newcastle.
The UK Amateur Poker Championship attracted a sell–out 210 runners paying £75 for entry and competing not only for prize money, with 10% of the total field paid, but also for a 2007 WSOP Main Event package provided by PokerStars.com. In addition, ranking points towards the APAT Player of the Year were also awarded, with the winner of that accolade receiving entry into the PokerStars.com Caribbean Adventure World Poker Tour event.
Identical to the first event in September the structure was designed to encourage creative play and each player started with 10,000 chips and the competition was played on a 40 minute clock with a slow blind structure.
