While professional poker players around the globe plan their schedules for the upcoming 2017 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, hundreds of budding poker players are making the trip to Manchester, United Kingdom, for the Amateur Poker Association & Tour World Championship of Amateur Poker.
The WCOAP is the crown jewel of each APAT season, and when you look at the schedule, it's easy to see why. Think of the WCOAP as amateur poker’s WSOP. Each championship event awards the eventual winner a custom-made bracelet in addition to a significant cash prize.
