APAT Vegas Updates - North American Amateur Poker Championship 7 June 2017

[IrishTom]

Welcome to The Fabulous Las Vegas, and the APAT North American Amateur Poker Championship, where we'll be kicking off APAT's Season 11 at 1pm local - which is 9pm UK time.

As usual, Lucy Amos will be keeping you up to date throughout the day, with a live update/blog and pics - we'll be concentrating on those UK APAT/Grosvenor/LPPL members that are taking part.

We'll play to completion today, on 30 minute levels with a 15k stack and finish, I suspect, around 3am (11am UK).

229 players so far and counting... $20k Guarantee smashed already...
