Even more annoying is Tht apat gave him his 110 quid back ......  I understand mistakes happen but this would of been avoided if all dealers didn"t speak in foreign  language to players as dealers were talking ABT his bad beat the day beforeif it had been in English we would of known he"d played 1a.  Hurts even more Tht he never played a hand after getting lucky against me  sat there folded every hand to make it to day 2

APAT didn"t give him his money back Aaron, the venue did, and at the same time they ensured the money from both players was also retained in the prize pool.  Agree with you completely that all discussion at the table should be in English and I"ve shared that feedback with the Aspers Head of Poker.

Just a quickie to say thanks for a great week of poker and fun. I hadn"t attended any APAT events bar the team one before and really enjoyed the banter and the company.  A great chance to experience games that normally you cant play live at a fair price and have fallen in love with HORSE :)
Hopefully see you all again soon and once again thanks

Shame what happened to Stretchy, I believe it"s even happened in the WSOP in the past!!

On a lighter note on a similar issue, I got a warning that it was "English Only" at the table when talking to Bruno Rilho

Great Series!

Another fantastic APAT experience!!

Gutted that didn"t do better in the PLO8, but loved having the opportunity to play it live. Please can we do it again (soooon)?

Something for future APAT weekends - the APAT private cash table on Sunday night was awesome, and I hope we can repeat it in future.

Just want to say thank you to all, it was a good 4 days poker for me. This was only my 2nd APAT Festival and managed a 4th in the Horse and I was really happy with my game and mixing it up with some really good players.It was good to get my 1st live cash,1st final table and 1st Hendon mob flag in what was only my 8th or 9th live game.

just a quick note to say thxs to des tom and co. yet again you worked hard for our benefit. also thxs to aspers staff all worked their arses off and remained friendly. food was ok in both price and taste. drink was way over priced mind. rumour has it that aspers are going to open a new casino of the alcohol profits from the scottish team. aspers london deffo has the best looking girls.

I have to agree with the positive feedback above from Mark, I thought the festival was excellent, and hopefully anyone put off from coming, by the scaremongering with regards to personal security in the area, will now attend, should the tour visit here again in the future. I trust I am not speaking out of turn, but I don"t know of anyone who came to any harm.

Congratulations to all at Apat for their sterling work during the season, and best of luck to all Apaters competing at other events taking place between seasons.
