The Amateur Poker Association and Tour (APAT), has announced details of its UK-based live tourney. The two-day APAT United Kingdom Amateur Poker Championship will be hosted by Aspers Casino in Newcastle upon Tyne, on December 2 and 3.
“We are delighted to be bringing an APAT event to the North East,” said Tony Kendall, APAT chairman. “Aspers is a fantastic venue and our players are going to have a wonderful time.”
The organisers hope that the tourney will attract some of the finest amateur players in the UK, who for a £75 entry fee, will play for an estimated prizepool of £15,000. The winner will take home a substantial cash prize, prestigious title, Silver Challenge Cup, plus a sponsored $12,000 tournament entry package to the World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas.
Competitors will start the tournament with 10,000 chips and a structure designed to encourage creative play throughout.
Players can buy their seats for this event from November 4 onwards via the APAT website but entry is restricted to APAT members and the event has a capacity of 210 entrants.
