PartyPoker has again stepped up to the mark offering a last minute satellite tournament with the winner booking their seat at the forthcoming Asian Poker Tour (APT) in Macau. The last minute decision to set up the satellite game has been welcomed by PartyPoker customers all around the world but with only the first 20 sure of a seat at the qualifying table demand is sure to be high!
PartyPoker has reported that their phones have been red hot since news of the last minute move leaked onto the internet but there can be no pre-registrations via phone and it will literally be first come first served when registration opens online on Sunday 17th August at 1 pm ET. A PartyPoker spokesperson suggested that those looking to register would need to be quick with their internet page refresh key!
The APT Macau event is the latest in a string of high profile promotions by PartyPoker which has seen the profile of the group move higher and higher. If the Macau tournament is anywhere near as exciting as the so called recent ‘Thriller in Manila’ then the lucky winner will have the time of their life.
The package includes a $5,300 buy-in for the main APT Macau event as well as $2,500 in spending and travel money.
