BUBBLE PROTECTION

As always, the Bubble Protection will be in effect for the Championships Event. For players that qualify for the protection, they will be insured on the bubble round. In the event that a protected player falls as the bubble, that player will receive their buy-in back in the form of APT tournament credits.

To qualify, players must meet these 3 simple steps:

1. Pre-register
2. Draw for your seat before the 1pm starting time
3. Have your chips put into play on the first deal of Level 1

*Eliminated players wanting bubble protection on the next starting day will have to qualify again.
