APAT North American Amateur Poker Championship - Result
TightEnd:
Why was there not a seperate APAT Tournament?
Seems a bit daft.
IrishTom:
L&Gs, our communications with Caesars" for this event was far from ideal. In the week leading up to the event it was discovered they were unable to hold the advertised $150+$15 (I"m not sure where some of you guys saw it was advertised as $75 as all I know it was meant to be $150) and therefore it ended up being their usual $200+$35 - and over 1 Day rather than the expected 2-Day event.
A huge personal thanks from me to Adam - thanks for everything mate and I sure owe you a beer when I meet up with you next.
There is not much more I can say on this - apart from for those who travelled you have my apologies for us not giving you what you expected/wanted - and my word that I will endeavour to ensure it won"t happen again (well, the expected bit anyway!).
(I"m already looking at our (LPPL) traditional trip to Las Vegas during the WSOP - everything yet tbc but expect it to be around 5th June 2014 for 7 nights - and this will be built around poker, "experiences" and "social occasions" - maybe a note for some of your diaries - especially those with a more "social" desire!)
It"s not often (extremely rare) that something goes wrong like this - so again, for those who travelled - please accept my apologies with my promise to ensure we do better for you in the future.
Tom

As one if the people "on a jolly"
The event wasn"t played as it wasn"t an APAT event!!
The buy-in was raised and it was made a 1 day event at the last second.
It was basically just the regular ceasers game. Not what I wanted to play.

Think 99% of the world wish they could be having a jolly in Vegas of all places!!
TightEnd:
Nothing against Adam, who appears to have been dropped in it here
but surely it sends completely the wrong impression of the importance of the event, and APAT as a brand, not to have an APAT manager there to host the event, sort out any problems etc
Just reflects very badly I think
I speak as someone who hosted the previous APAT event in Vegas, (it was extremely awkward for me to go for 4 days for various reasons, but I went as it was important to give the event full APAT welly) developed the relationship with the people in Vegas that Richard Baker introduced us too
I"ll shut up now
