Does anyone know if this tourney will be a self deal event or will the casino provide them?


All APAT National Championships are fully dealer dealt with no registration fee.  A buffet is also provided for all players on day one.

This is all done courtesy of our sponsors, Blue Square Poker.  Giving value back to amateur poker players.

Thanks Leigh, I qualified last night so no need to enter the clickfest. You joined my table at DTD just before I busted out at midnight. How did you get on?

Wow, did I last as long as midnight ?

No joy, but it was a great weekend.

Well done on qualifying last night.  Look forward to catching up in Bolton, make sure you say hello.

There is no direct buy-in available from the venue for these events.  If you wanted to turn up on the day, then there will be an alternates list available, but you would need to be there early.


All APAT National Championships have online satellites via Blue Square.  For this event, the last one is tonight at 8pm.

Failing securing a seat that way, the remaining seats are sold via www.apat.com this Thursday at 9pm.

A link will appear on the homepage and then it really is fastest fingers first to get your details and payment through.

First come first served.


Good Luck, and welcome to APAT

It"s for 200 runners if you don"t win a seat in tonights satellite suggest you are sat at your pc at 9 o"clock on Thursday as sometimes the seats sell out within a few minutes. Have your credit  debit card at hand and be ready to type fast! 200 is at the higher end of runners so I"d expect that those trying at 9 o"clock sharp should be ok. But these have proved to be popular events, so you need to be quick.

Good luck

This is correct.

I cannot stress this strongly enough.  For anyone new to the clickfest or those regulars with very bad memory.

That really depends Steve.

If you post your card number, expiry date and security code on this thread, then I will be able to confirm one way or the other.  It will also be really useful if you have a large available credit limit on the card.
