APAT European Championship Arrives in Luton
Due to the high demand the available seats at this tournament were increased to 300, covering the needed expansion. Although it was made more available to the public, it was not easy to get into the poker tournament as players had to qualify in online tournaments or do a direct buy in instead of the reasonable 75 pound entry fee.
Players start this tournament with 10,000 chips, in a field of 300. The competition will continue until a winner is crowed with the European Amateur title. To the winner goes the spoils, and what a bounty it is! Beyond the substantial cash prize, they will also receive an expenses paid entry to the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Grand Final, valued upwards of 8 thousand pounds. Should they continue to win through that event they could win an all expense paid trip to Las Vegas, USA in 2008 for the World Series of Poker.
The next step on the Amateur Poker Association and Tour's travels will be the APAT World Amateur Poker Championship. Complete Details will be announced shortly. Continue to be mindful of updates as they become available.
