First Three Bracelets and Gold Medals Awarded at the 2024 APAT WCOAP
Amateur poker's premium live festival, the Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) World Championship Of Amateur Poker (WCOAP), kicked off over the weekend atDusk Till Dawn, Nottingham. Every entrant wants to win their respective event not only to give their bankrolls a cash injection but also because each champion receives a coveted gold APAT medal and a commemorative WCOAP bracelet.
The 2024 WCOAP is still in its infancy, but three events have concluded, crowned their champions, and dished out their much sought-after APAT hardware.
Jordan Grant took down the first completed event, the ��70 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo. Grant navigated his way through a 72-strong field to claim the ��1,421 top prize, the 2024 WCOAP's first bracelet and gold meal.
Graeme Maguire (��920 and a silver medal) finished second, with Alex Meager picking up bronze and ��545. APAT stalwart Tristan Chaplin finished fourth, bubbling the medal places and scooping ��375.
Seventy-seven players bought into the ��140 H.O.R.S.E., and Robin Yeung outlasted them all. After Waheed "Wadey" Ashraf and Ben Price fell short of the medal positions, Garth Stanton (��1,150) busted in third, leaving Yeung heads-up with Chris Jeffery. Yeung defeated Jeffery in the one-on-one battle, leaving the runner-up to collect ��1,950.
The third WCOAP bracelet and the gold medal went to Daniel Turner, champion of the ��70 Pot-Limit Omaha event. Turner left a field of 98 entrants in his wake, including third-place finisher Anthony Thornhill (��710) and runner-up Mitchell Kingsland (��1,195). He received ��1,849 and the third WCOAP bracelet of his career, having won the Tag Team event in 2022 and the NLHE Turbo in 2023.
