Aspers Casino Stratford City is set for a big two months, with March and April 2014 bringing plenty of top-quality poker action to the venue.<\/p>\n
After last weekend’s highly-successful WPT National at the casino, which crowned Laurence Houghton as its champion, next up is the Coral 30\/30 from 15-16 March.<\/p>\n
The previous instalment brought a bumper \u00a38,250 payout for winner Andrew Abernethy. Buy-in for the tournament is \u00a3300, with 30,000 chips and a \u00a330,000 guarantee.<\/p>\n
The 30\/30 is quickly followed by the PKR Mix-Max from 28-30 March. Buy-in for the mixed format PKR event is $500, which includes nine-seater hold’em tables on day one and short-handed six-seater on day two that will play down to 16 qualifiers for day three. Those 16 will return to play heads-up matches – seeded by stack size – until a champion is crowned.<\/p>\n
Then in April it’s Apat’s World Championship of Amateur Poker from 15-21 April, with 16 bracelet events.<\/p>\n
And, if that wasn’t enough, the busy period is concluded by the Boylepoker IPO from 10-14 April. The \u20ac280 buy-in event follows hot on the heels of February’s IPO in Galway, won by John O\u2019Shea who pocketed \u20ac21,780 for his efforts at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin.<\/p>\n
