If you’ve always wanted to play live deep-stack tournaments but can’t afford a $5,000 buy-in, then you’ll be pleased to hear we’ve teamed up with the Amateur Poker Association and Tour (APAT) to bring big game poker to your doorstep at a price which won’t break the bank.

APAT, in association with PokerStars.com, is holding seven tournaments across the UK, Europe and the US over the next year, which in addition to the usual cash payouts, will give the winner entry into a European Poker Tour, World Poker Tour or World Series of Poker event. For a mere £75 buy-in you get a chip stack of 10,000, with 40-minute blinds, creating a structure you won’t get anywhere else outside the biggest tournaments in the world.
