The 58 survivors have a day break before returning for Day 2 on Sunday, May 1 at 1pm. They await the results of Day 1B which gets underway on Saturday, April 30. Day 1B is the last starting day to enter and the last chance to avail of our Bubble Protection incentive. See below for the details. 

For those new to the APT, the Main Event is our most prized tournament and is regarded as having one of the best structures in the region. Its deep structure and slow escalating 60 minute blinds allows for plenty of playing time. If you didn’t already know, it comes with a huge Php 15 Million guarantee, which is a third larger than previous years. Good news for latecomers, if you miss your chance at Day 1B, you can still sign up during the first hour of Day 2.

Bubble Protection

To spice up the action, the APT extends an incentive for all the early birds, the Bubble Protection. This is a very powerful perk to have. In the unfortunate event that you find yourself busting on the bubble, the APT will give you back your buy in in the form of APT credits. To qualify for Bubble Protection all that’s required are these simple steps:

  • Pre-register
  • Draw for your seat
  • Have your chips in play by the first deal of round 1.
