The fifth event of the APAT Online Series; the Welsh Open, will take place on Thursday November 8th at 8pm.

The event can be found through the Tournaments / Specials / APAT tab on the Blue Square client, for an entry fee of $10 + $1. 

Players will start with a 5,000 chip deepstack, with the top nine scoring APAT ranking points and the top three securing APAT gold, silver and bronze medals.

Good luck to all participating players!

The online tournys are on Thursdays & Saturdays every fortnight.. Obviously no Saturday this week due to the regionals taking place.
This is new for season 2 as last season they were Saturdays only, but not everyone can make a Saturday evening so Thursdays were added to give more people a chance to play.

There will always be a section of people who can"t make the Regional tournaments - sad but true.

At least until we get a regional tournament on every day of the week (and one in the day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening) anyway.  :)

Not yet, but you have to remember that the "Online Leader Board", as such isn"t going to be as interesting as the "Overall Leader Board" or the "Regional Leader Boards", as the latter two are the one"s which have added prizes attached.

I think you"ll still feel pretty proud of yourself if you know that you"re one of the best online APAT players, even if players with better live results mean that you slip further down in the overall rankings.

My hunch is that the Overall Rankings will end up being dominated by those players who have done particularly well online though, so it should be interesting to see if this prediction works out.

None here. I built up a decent stack, then donked it off with QQ v AK, putting too many in on a flop with a king.

Now rebuilding it with all-or-nothing play.  Not desperate now, so can play a little bit of poker for a wee while instead.

A valiant effort by me to get two medals in a row, but unfortunately I ran out of chips  ??? ??? and finished in 5th this time, good game tonight I think generally but did see some ridiculous calls at times, the last three are fighting it out now, good luck to them!

My 3rd APAT event, 2nd online but sadly i couldnt make it 3/3 for medals... managed to cash but lost a race shortly after and went out 26th or something like that i think...
Will have to try to play a few more really. i struggle with the Thursdays and often find myself away at weekends with motorsport commitments but ill keep trying :D
looking forward to seeing the leaderboards...

Aces cracked on first hand! was hoping for an early double up but it wasn"t to be!!! and after finishing 2nd in the French open aswell, that will teach me to sit back for the first few hands! lol
