Titan Poker is sending people to Exotic Macau for the APT
Jun 6, 2008By: Jeremy Olson It’s always cool to think of earning the right to play poker in some distant and foreign land during a major poker tournament. And for a lot of players that means traveling to the US or one of the many interesting European nations. But what if you could go to somewhere even more alluring and mysterious?
Anyone looking for such a place could certainly find that in the Macau region of the People’s Republic of China. Situated in the South China Sea area, Macau is a historic and unique country which Titan Poker definitely seems to appreciate. And out of this appreciation, Titan will give away two seats to the Asian Poker Tour event in Macau every single week.
Any lucky player who wins one of these seats offered twice a week will receive a $9,000 Macau prize package. The $9,000 package encompasses the $5,000 Main Event buy-in, the $1,000 bill for a six night stay at the fabulous Starworld Hotel in Macau, and $3,000 for travel expenses and spending money. With all that this $9,000 covers, you could have a great time and not have to pay a dime of your own money!
Now for anyone who’s wondering just how they can win one of these Macau seats, the options are plentiful. The seats are given away every Wednesday and Sunday in the APT Macau Super Satellite Tournaments. Players can buy-in directly to the Wednesday Satellite with $50 + $5 while buy-ins for the Sunday Satellites are $300 + $20.
The great thing is that you can skip the buy-in by winning a seat into the Satellite as well. For the Wednesday Satellite, the ongoing APT Macau Stage 1 and APT Macau Stage 2 Sit’n’Go tournaments are a good way to get in. Buy-ins for Stage 1 are $5.50 + $0.50 and 1 seat will be given out for every 10 players in the Wednesday Satellite. Stage 2 buy-ins are $1.10 + $0.10 and one seat will be given for every 6 players that make it into the Super Satellite from the Stage 1 tourney.
Other ways to get into the Wednesday Super Satellite are to enter the daily Stage 1 Satellite and Stage 1 Satellite Turbo R/A. Buy-ins for the Stage 1 Satellite is $6 + $0.60 with 1 seat to the Super Satellite given out for every $55 collected for it. Stage 1 Satellite Turbo R/A buy-ins are $30 + $3 and 1 seat will be awarded for every $320 collected for the Wed. Super Satellite.
For those more interested in the Sunday Super Satellite, there are even more options available for free seats. There are still the ongoing APT Macau Stage 1 and Stage 2 Sit’n’Go tourneys but the buy-ins are different. The APT Macau Stage 1 buy-in is $64 + $6 and gives away 1 seat for every 5 in the Super Satellite while the Stage 2 buy-in is $2.20 + $0.20 and gives away 1 seat for every 10 players in the Stage 1 tourney.
Five daily tournament options are available for the Sunday Super Satellite so get ready for the list. The Stage 1 Satellite Freezeout is $40 + $4 with 1 seat awarded for every $320 collected for the Sunday Satellite while there is another Stage 1 Satellite Freezeout offered on a different day with the buy-ins being $30 + $3 and 1 seat being given for every $268 collected for the Super Satellite. There’s also a Stage 2 Satellite Freezeout and the buy-in for this is $6 + $0.60 and one seat is given for every $44 collected for the next day’s Stage 1 Freezeout.
The last two daily tournaments are the Stage 1 Satellite Turbo R/A and the Stage 2 Satellite R/A. Buy-ins for the Stage 1 Satellite Turbo R/A are $30 + $3 and 1 seat will be given out for every $320 collected for the Super Satellite. The Stage 2 Satellite R/A features $4 + $0.40 buy-ins with 1 seat given away for every $33 collected by the Stage 1 Turbo R/A tournament.
As you can see, there are plenty of ways to get into the Wednesday and Sunday APT Macau Super Satellite tournaments along with the $300 + $20 buy-in. And with two $9,000 seats given away each week it’s definitely worth checking the Macau deal out before August 26th when the APT event begins.
