APT Championship Event kicks of tonight at 7pm


Tonight will be sizzling with action as the featured APT Championship Event gets on stage. This is one of the tour’s top of the line tournaments and is a crowd favorite especially among players with bigger bankrolls. For a buy in of IN₹22,000 (~US$ 300), players have a chance at the IN₹ 50 Lac (~US$ 67,250) guarantee with the eventual champion bringing home the APT Championship Trophy and APT Championship Ring. This is a one day event.

Players begin with a 30,000 stack which is equivalent to 300x the opening big blind. All tables are six handed. One player to watch for is reigning champion Manish “thekid” Lakhotia who won it at the inaugural edition. The first deal is at 7pm India time with late registration open for 264 minutes (4 hours and 24 minutes). Registration closes at the end of Level 22.

Live reporting begins at the close of registration.
