William Hill have corrected the holding tank for the English Amateur Poker Championship and the event will go on sale tonight from 8pm as scheduled.
The 24 qualifiers have been issued with tokens to enter, worth £82.50. They are guaranteed a seat, but should use their token to enter the holding tank as soon as possible.
The players who had registered previously when the tank was open in error have been refunded their £82.50 buy in.
I do not anticipate the event selling out this evening, but would encourage everyone planning to buy in to do so as close to 8pm as possible.
Many thanks and apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced over the last couple of days.

I take it the ip address issue has not been solved? and I will need to get someone else to register for me.

No, they can"t change this Lynne. I"ve pushed them hard on it.

The Holding Tank is there and visible now Barrie. Remove your filters if you have any and you should be able to find it under "English Amateur Holding Tank".

Donna is trying to join WH to register to play in Coventry but can"t. Is this because i am registered at same IP address?

Ok I"ve found it, cheers

There is no problem with registering from the same ip address for a WH account. But you will not be able to register for the tournament from the same ip address.

I am having trouble depositing money via my barclay connect card into my Will Hill account, so I cannot buy in for this. Even though I have used it before, and surprisingly there is money in the account:)
Could you reserve me a seat if by any chance they sell out tonight so I can ring Barclays in the morning and get it sorted?
I will keep trying, my WH screen name id is APATbot
Thx
Dave
Done all sorted
-
They appear to be a most professional partner. Well impressed so far ::)

Us Bots usually stick together!
I"m on hold now to the Barclays fraud team! It"s because I booked a car hire through a Spanish company earlier apparently :)

Oh, Joobs thought it was because she couldnt get Verified by Visa to work!

I"m so bad at satellites!
Bought in and booked in at the Ricoh as well, happy days.

oh dear... no ... but my mom & dad live in a place called La Siesta if that helps!
Managed to get card unblocked and I am now bought in... see you all when I get back from Spain

Don"t have the client downloaded.
An hour gone, how many seats sold ?
Just curious for future events. ;D
-
So how can Donna get a seat? She has spent the last hour registering an account. WH does not work on Macs therefore i registered another account via my pc.
She then deposited £82.50 only to find out this cannot be used to reg for Coventry because i am already in.
WTF this is a holding tank for a live event!

You now need to get a good friend or relative that will buy her in from her account on their ip address. I had to get my daughter to do mine.
-
Thanks
Would do if we had that choice!!
Looks like she will have to spend her weekend watching- Shame we already booked the hotel- JOKE
-
Can you not do it from a work computer? Failing that I have a friend that could do it for her if you dont mind giving them the log in details. He is trustworthy and I will stand by that.
-
As there seems to be a number of seats still available, can"t Will Hill manually enter the people with the IP problems ?
After all, the tournament is not actually going to run. I can understand why they have the IP check in place to try and reduce collusion etc, but for this particular tourney it"s pointless.
-
Would be a nice solution for Donna and anyone else that tried to reg tonight from same ip address.

I agree. There"s nothing more frustrating than seeing genuine people that want to play an APAT event and can"t because of technical stuff.
I"m sure Des and the team feel the same about it. Fingers crossed it can get sorted out.
-
In :)
Now to sort out the rest on payday. Oooo thats tomorrow :)

i"d have done it for you but unfortunately i bought in tonight too

I have spent 2 hours with online support trying to sort this out for Donna.
In the end the manager could only be sarcastic as he ran out of patience. This is not a good advert for our new sponsor.
I am now totally frustrated. I love APAT and have made the effort to book a hotel and am willing to travel when there are tournaments on my doorstep with a similar structure.
I am even beginning to wonder whether it"s worth the effort. :(
One way to get round it could be using your laptop"s wifi to tether to a mobile phone broadcast - or go to the local hotel?

Just had a look at holding tank but can"t see my name rivertaff4, qualified in the £20 one. Can someone help please.

You would think so. Though i have just spent 2 hours with online support. The manager there ended up resorting to sarcasm which is a little worrying to say the least.
We love APAT and everything it stands for. We travel and stay overnight when there is a tournament on our doorstep with a similar structure.
Nights like tonight don"t help at all and i don"t think our new partner understands that or gives a ****. :(

I have a "dongle" if you want I can buy in for you - if you PM the details.
That"s if you trust me 8)

I undestand that you have a "token" just register with that

What a muppet, thanks. Wasn"t the clickfest easy.

Regged for Coventry, booked a double at the Ricoh as the wife has decided to accompany me - just hope there"s somewhere for her to go shopping on Saturday afternoon... :D
-
Is the double IP registration issue likely to be resolved, as either we both go or neither of us do?
If not, is there any way around this?

if you can get someone who lives elsewhere to log to you account and reg for you.
-
easier said than done. Only other person I know with a WH account is already registered.
The joys of modern technology lol
-
Search on Google, IP Hider etc and download a free trial, Will Hill will think your in a different country. Just speaking from experience when lived at home and me and bro played on same nights.

it does not matter if they have an account your friend all ready has the program on their pc/laptop get them to log on with your user name and password and reg that way as i have had someone else log on to their account using x y & z poker software on my laptop without any problems.
-
They are already registered for the same event, so same issue.

I"m in! First ever APAT live event. Any tips from the veterans out there?

RUN GOOD!!!
simples
all the best

Don"t start drinking with Ger, Phil, Jack, Dawn etc etc before and during event and all will be fine :D..
Try and bribe tournament director for seat allocation, so you don"t end up on Scouses or Matt mackinlays table or if you do just bring a good set of Bose ear phones.
Apart from that just have a great time, run good and most of all enjoy and embrace the best run poker tour available ;D

Actually, if you do want to have "the full APAT experience", DO drink with Ger, Phil, Jack, Dawn :-*, Scouse, Matt, Curly, Dan, Pables, Rudders (Snr obv.), Quasar :-*, Suz :-*, Michelle and Claire (watch out here :o :o), Shaz :-*, Paul Mac, Darren, Asa, Don, Lee, Waz, Carl, JP, Dai, Paulie D and especially The Chief Scout and Irritating Man!!!
You might however want to take a few days off afterwards, Milk Thistle FTW ;)

I have managed to register Donna now folks.
Don"t know why it has accepted her today when it wouldn"t last night, but who cares?!

Cheers, was not a dig or anything, I know the venue is not free but APAT also has to find money to pay for these value added seats etc :)
