APT Accredited Event in Cebu: All In Anniversary Series of Poker

The All In Poker Sports Club, located at Cebu’s Waterfront Hotel & Casino, is holding its Anniversary Series of Poker from June 20-27, 2011. The packed schedule will include a PHP 1 million guaranteed prize pool Main Event, which has been accredited by the Asian Poker Tour (APT) and is sure to attract the Philippines’ best poker players.

As a reflection of poker’s growing success in the region, more and more poker venues are looking for ways to ensure their tournaments are run to the correct standards in a professional environment. In order to achieve this, one of the avenues open to them is to become accredited by a known and trusted poker tour such as the APT.

Those players sitting down at the tables for the PHP 5500 buy-in Main Event of the All In Anniversary Series of Poker can be confident that the event will be run to according to the same protocol that has made the APT such a trusted tournament series. For the Main Event, this includes a great blind structure of 30 minutes each for the starting days and 40 minutes from Day 2, ensuring that the final table starts with a minimum average chip stack of 30 times the big blind. There are also the same APT rules and regulations in place to provide a smoothly run tournament.

“We’ve had a great partnership with the All In Poker Sports Club previously with the launch of our APT Asian Series Cebu tournament and are very happy to continue our association with the professional team there,” said Jeff Mann, CEO of the Asia Poker Tour.

He added, “Having an APT accredited event allows us to give the region’s poker players the best tournament conditions and standards outside of APT specific events.”

The All In Anniversary Series of Poker schedule will feature four Main Event starting days where players get up to four chances to have their shot at being the Anniversary Series of Poker Champion, as well as various side events and satellites.
