APAT are pleased to confirm details of the European Online Poker Championship, taking place at Blue Square from 8pm on August 1st.
The entry fee for the event is $50 + $5, and players entering will start with 10,000 chips and 12 minute blind levels.
The winner of the event will receive a significant cash prize, National Title & Gold Medal and an entry to a £1,000 buy in Grosvenor UK Poker Tour main event.
The top three players will receive APAT National Medals and an option to enter the European Amateur Poker Championship at the G Casino in Luton on November 20th & 21st; where seats will almost certainly be amongst the hardest to acquire in Season Three, where their Online Championship Medals will be presented.
Satellites to the Online Championship event will be available at Blue Square on Monday July 27th and Tuesday 28th at 8pm. Monday"s satellite will be a $10 + $1 freezeout, while Tuesday"s will be a $5 + $0.50 rebuy.
The previous event in the Online Championship series; the Scottish Online Championship, was won by Alan "bigalhx3" Armitage.
Good luck to all participating players.

Looking forward to this one...

think BSQ may have pulled another special...... they have this tourney listed as 10k chips, but with first level as 10/20, and 12 minute blinds.
Not sure about the blinds - thought we usually had longer than 12 mins (the league games are 13!)........ but 10/20 as first level? 500 blinds? could be in for a long one....
-
not so long for u i would guess :-*

I think this has been the structure for the last few online tourneys. Will take about 6 hours to play out
-
I thought it started at 25/50 the last couple of times...
The more BBs the better though, at least I might last past the first level this time... :D

Last one I played started at 25/50. I think the intention was that they would follow the same structure as the live events - looks like this one has the standard iPoker MTT structure.

last one had 500BBs, think it has been that way for a while.

they did this for the welsh one and that got quite crapshooty. the last 2 have been 500BB and played out very well.

bsq really is rubbish. (connection not a problem, and structure is awesome..... just the cards that were complete shiite).
-
Steve never gets cards!! ;) 6th after 3 levels, lets hope I can stay awake, driven back 7 and a half hours from Cornwall today, knackered!!

u weren"t saying that after the 1st leg of the league! ;)
-
Well made it to level 5, don"t know how! Some really crap plays, and no cards, but 14/21 so still some hope!!
-
FT FFS ;)
-
-
Well what a day 7 and a half hours driving and then 6 and half hours poker!!!! WP to all on the final table and especially to ZZZZZ rope who lead from start to finish, and beat me in a short heads up battle. Now wheres mi bed ;)
-
cheers very much m8,wp aswell, narrowly missed the 1k seat last time getting 2nd so was good to close this one out this time :)
-
Great final table and very well done to ZZZZZ for taking it down. Grant, can you pm me a link to a poker pic (APAT if you have one) and I will add it to the event report. Well done also to the other medalists, finalists and ranking points scorers.
-
Well played ZZZZZZZZROPE, was all about the seat for you and weren"t shy of sticking your chips in when it mattered. WP & GG, and unlucky to Mikey but vwp after your busy day 8)
-
saw those ZZZZZs at the top of the leaderboard very early on - well played to stay there throughout.
Despite only making it to 49/100, I have to say this tourney with 500xBB and a good structure is fantastic value for $55. I loved it last night - just had crap cards and played them badly.
-
Well played ZZZZZZZROPE as Mikey said from start to finish clear leader, fantastic result vvwp congrats!
Congrats on 2nd Mikey had a feeling you were gonna do well vwp also and to the other medalist and final tablists vwp.
Congrats also to 2 of my Edinburgh Club guys, Stuart and Chris for reaching FT.
-
Well played to you grant lead from start to finish very hard to do!
n1 to you mike aswell for your 2nd place.
-
well played zzzzzrope, i was a bit gutted going out to you with my KK v your AA (specialy when i flopped a K which would of put me equal chips with you) and then you hitting the A on the river, im not bitter at all, honest, lol, congrats mate you played very well while i was on same table as you so well deserved
-
Congratulations to the Winner zzzzzzzzrope and to the other medalists thoroughly enjoyed the tournament even if i did fill the medal bubble spot. I seem to remember being heads up with you in the WCOAP main event last year so you certainly deserve this one having lead from early on.
Hope to see you all again at the tables soon.
And best of luck with your Gukpt seat zzzzzz I can assure you it is a great experience.

ZZZZZZZ ... super dominator.
I hit the sack when knocked out in 24th.

Ditto. My worst performance by a mile in any APAT event since season 1 but still enjoyed it. If only there were more tournies available with 500xBB starting stacks.

Well done ZZZZZ i feel like that I could have won if you hadnt flopped full i and flopped trips top kicker ::), queue exit in 89th :(
Nh gg, well done.

Is the shout to have more (4 more?) $50+5 events and shorten (16 weeks would be plenty) the $10+1 league?

No! Part of the appeal of these games this season is due to their infrequency. It"s like the live games - fewer of them makes them far more special.
-
great game last night but my name is malcolm vince ( not micheal vince ) but well played all see you all in the live event MINDMANWPL
-
Well played Malcom, it was a fun tournament, and a really tough Final Table.
-
A belated well played ZZZZZZZZZZZZrope, well deserved.
Thanks Mary for your congrats on my 9th place! was card dead for last couple of hours, reckon I did well to survive that far.
-
Congrats to all the FT and vwp zzzzzzzz.... :)
-
well played all
sigh, i was chip leader for a while then had a 15 minute period of supermonkeytilt after what happened in some of my other tournaments - i really should have learnt by now
