The second event in APAT’s first season of live events took place over the first weekend in December in the sumptuous Aspers casino in Newcastle.
The UK Amateur Poker Championship attracted a sell–out 210 runners paying £75 for entry and competing not only for prize money, with 10% of the total field paid, but also for a 2007 WSOP Main Event package provided by PokerStars.com. In addition, ranking points towards the APAT Player of the Year were also awarded, with the winner of that accolade receiving entry into the PokerStars.com Caribbean Adventure World Poker Tour event.
