Sounds great, am I missing it as I can't see what the venue is?

Laxie

Hi. The Venue is there, but easy enough to miss in such a long post. It's being held at Dusk Till Dawn (DTD) in Nottingham.

What exactly is a world championship of amateur poker? What differentiates it from a "professional" tournament or is just a fancy name?

World Championship Of Amateur Poker is a live APAT festival for amateur poker players being held at Dusk Till Dawn (DTD) in Nottingham, August 27 - 30.
