We actively encourage every APAT member to turn up as early as possible to complete your registration at Grosvenor reception. Players can leave the venue after registration providing they are back in their allocated seats by 2.15pm (for a 2.30pm start). In keeping with the new regulations, players not in their seat at the start of the event will not be disqualified.

Registration is only available to individuals aged 18 years of age and older, with a valid proof of identification. IDENTIFICATION Please bring a valid Passport or Drivers License. If you do not have one of those, then a credit card AND recent utility bill will suffice. Your guests will also need to bring a similar proof of identity. If you cannot present valid identification to the Casino, you will not be allowed to enter the premises. SCHEDULE This event will run over two days. Play commences at 2.30pm sharp on both. Play is expected to finish at around 12.30am on day one. Players left in will return for a 2.30pm start on Sunday, with the final expected to finish around 9.00pm that evening. Due to the nature of tournament Poker, end of day timings are estimated. PRIZES 1st: A payment of £3,500 + Engraved English Championship Cup + Gold Medal + Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Package + 18 ranking points + Significant Media Exposure. The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour package comprises an expenses paid entry to a televised GUKPT event being played next year.

Alternates will be allowed the opportunity to take part during the first two levels. An additional prize of £75 will be created as a result of each alternate who is allowed to enter. This money will be awarded to the players finishing directly outside the above prize pool, so if for example 4 alternates take part in the event, then finishing positions from 21st to 24th will each win back their buy in of £75. The alternates will be chosen from the APAT controlled reserve list started at the venue at midday on the first day of play. This will enable a small number of additional members to participate in an APAT event. Under our terms & conditions, APAT will not support deal making. This is a unique International Championship event and the onus is on every player to try their utmost to win it outright. Please note that all entrance fees will be paid out in prize money.

Re: Walsall APAT out in level 5, not too disappointed as had an excellent read and got chips in with best hand. Blinds 300/150, I raised to 1200 from UTG +3 with 99, all fold to Button makes it 2500. Button got 20K+, I'm on 7.5K. Seen button make this play with A high a couple of times in last 3 hours, so I push hoping to take pot, he calls with AKo, still in front on flop and turn, river brings Ace :( My play of the day, at 200/100 was reraing a limper with 72o and taking blinds and showing, announcing to the table " Only the best god damn hand in poker !!!" Bit disappointed I didnt get the full recognition that play deserved ;) Nice to see Morls, MCFC, Teazz and DaMAtrix in attendance, hopefully there still doing ok.

Re: Walsall APAT Just about to set back off to Walsall. I've made day 2 and the money (£400 so far) but I am short stacked and will probably be travelling back just to push my chips in the middle and pick my money up. It was a late finish last night (1:15) leaving just 20 players out of the original 201. :zzz

Re: Walsall APAT Good Luck Teazz:ok I went out Level 8, happy that I played the best with what I was given and my chips went in with the best hand. Just a bit miffed I had Damatrix two down from me and I never managed to steal his blinds once :(. We didn't have any LAG's at our table which didn't help but it was enjoyable, I may try for the next one. Morls went out before the dinner break (I think he wanted to get first in the queue :lol)

Re: Walsall APAT Thanks guys, nice to meet you all. I think I was mad to drive back. I thought it would end earlier on Saturday if I got through and 2 1/2 hours didnt seem bad to me as I drive all day for a living. It probably cost me about £20 extra drive than stay though. I also had to come back for my winnings as the tournament ended as soon as it was down to 20 runners and the prize difference was £325 from 21st to 20th. So I didnt get a chance to get my chips in the middle.

Re: Walsall APAT Made Level 6 or 7 and after some atrocious play by myself i found myself strangled chip wise and losing coin flips like it was going out of fashion I had these busted... QQ vs AK for a very big pot (all in pre-flop i had 2-1 chip advantage) QQ vs A10 when the flop cam AA8 ( no raise pre-flop) QQ vs an all in bet on a board of KJ9 (i raised he called and he pushed on flop, i folded) JJ vs J8o where i failed to raise pre-flop and he hit 2 8's (no raise pre flop and donked out) 99 vs AQ was my final hand when i pushed in and he hit the A on the turn (pah!) All in all a disappointment for me cos my live game has been on fire lately, made 3 bad plays all night and suffered badly cos of it Great meeting up with the lads again, all top people and well done Teazz for cashing!! Ended up at Alton Towers today for a relax and day out after yesterdays mess!
