The APTC 7-Max Lion Trophy

The APTC 7-Max Championship returns to the schedule today, with players heading to the tables at Red Space, Taipei, for another shot at the title in this popular format.

Making its debut at last year's inaugural APT Championship, the event attracted 313 entries and generated a huge TWD 21,634,560 (~USD 702,420) prize pool. Malaysia's Choi Eng Loong eventually came out on top, collecting TWD 4,275,460 (~USD 138,815) for the victory, along with the APTC Lion Trophy and a USD 10,000 APT Championship Main Event seat.

This year's edition kicks off at noon local time. Players will start with 50,000 chips and compete for the lion's share of the prize pool, the coveted APT Championship Lion Trophy, and a APT Championship Main Event seat.

The TWD 85,000 (~USD 2,600) buy-in tournament will play out over two days, with registration remaining open through the first ten 50-minute levels. Players will also have one re-entry available during this period.

Players will take a 15-minute break after competing four levels of play and then every three levels. There is a 60-minute dinner break scheduled after Level 7.

When the players return from their dinner break, the clock will be reduced to 40 minutes per level for the remainder of the day’s action.

Play will continue through Level 13 today before the remaining players then bag up their chips to return for the final day tomorrow, November 17, when the next 7-Max Championship title winner will be crowned.

Stay tuned for all the action from the floor as it unfolds in the APTC 7-Max Championship here in Taipei.
