Payout Structure

Decided with the Venue director to use a standard payout structure, with his guidance. No long term reasoning, just easier to sort out this weekend with a lot of runners, and a lot of those (ie 171 out of 180) new to APAT.

Hardly valid reasons.

180 isn"t a lot of runners for an APAT tourney... and if the regular payout structure is "right", then it should be right every time. We were all "new to APAT" at one point.

Next thing you know they"ll making deals at the final table!

Well they are my reasons. Of course one listens to the TD who knows the local scene too, where he knows what the player base is looking for.

We did exactly the same in Vienna as it happens. Softly softly, spread the APAT word piece by piece!

Vadim and Martin are going to war again

Alexei has joined this party.

Vadim goes all in on a flop of 10 5 7

And both Martin and Alexei fold.

No party this time.

Any more photies/reports on the Brits? Just in case final play slows down a little

no chance of this for 2 reasons;

a) This final table is moving very fast
b) most of them are in the Old town now drinking

Thanks James, now I"m really wish i was there worried about them.

Great job guys keep up the good work
