The APPT Macau: The First Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament in China!

[garcia1000]

How will the people who don't have Pokerstars accounts get paid? Will these people be unable to play in the tournament?

I don't have a PS account.

I think this is the same flight(s) that olivert and a couple other people have. Gotta run but booking the same 10pm ferry thing too later.

Do you have to book the ferry? I figured I could just buy a ticket when I got to the airport.

[godofgambling]

Um, it's Mr. Elton Tsang, not Sang.

Thank you.

[TheUsher]

Couple of us are trying to buy-in in advance so we don't have to carry a ton of cash around there..

I notice that if I did a wire transfer it would get posted to my Stars account. Can I just buyin w/money already in Stars instead of wiring more cash?

[speedgun]

My flight arrives at HK airport at 18:10. Is there absolutely NO hope that I can get on the 19:10 ferry to Macau? Would it help if I carry all my baggage with me?

[mlagoo]

i would really like to play in this but its going on during the full moon party in thailand, so i think im gonna skip it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

gl dudes

[Chain Chomp]

Everyone is missing the most important question. Is the booze free for tournament players? :P

[olivert]

One major correction to my posts:

If you are flying into Hong Kong Int'l Airport, do NOT go to the immigration hall to retrieve your own luggage. I understand that you will NOT be permitted to re-enter the transfer area and take the ferry from Sky Pier if you were to enter the immigration hall.

Go directly to the TurboJet Sea Express Ferry Transfer Desk in area "E1" on the arrival level (Level 5) to 1) buy your ferry ticket and 2) hand over your luggage claim tags to the ferry ticket clerk.

TurboJet Sea Express personnel will claim your luggage and put your luggage on the ferry.

--

If you are on the United Airlines nonstop flight from Los Angeles, you will need to pray that you don't encounter headwind so that you flight will arrive on time at 7:40pm. If the flight were to arrive after 8:30pm for whatever reason, you will likely miss the last ferry from Sky Pier at 10pm.

Several evening arrivals from North America are bunched together: United from Chicago arrives at 5:55pm, United from San Francisco arrives at 6:45pm, Cathay Pacific from either San Francisco or Los Angeles arrives at 6:55pm, and Air Canada from Vancouver arrives at 7pm.
