Bubble Protection
As always, the Bubble Protection will be in effect for both featured events. Ever since its introduction two years ago, it has been a mainstay at every APT festival. 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:
- Pre-register
- Draw for your seat before the 1pm starting time
- 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.
MAIN EVENT CoinPoker promos
Along with our Bubble Protection incentive, APT sponsor, CoinPoker, a cryptocurrency-based online poker room is offering two fantastic promos for all players joining the Main Event.
The first promo is the “Last Man Standing”. The promo is simple; the last player remaining in the Main Event wearing the CoinPoker patch will be awarded one free seat to APT Philippines Championships II 2018 MAIN EVENT. In order to be eligible, you must wear the CoinPoker patch from start to finish of the Main Event.
The other promo is the MAIN EVENT RAKE BACK. Players of the Main Event will be able to collect their full rake back by simply following these steps:
- Register and play the APT Korea Championships Main Event
