Don’t miss the APCC Final Table live from LA

07:04 PM on Wed Jan 20 2010

By Nigel Bentworth

The wait is officially over.  They battled hard all semester long and now they’re off to Los Angeles for the final exam of their lives. Yes, the Absolute Poker College Challenge Final Table happens tomorrow and you can catch it all online in real time.

Tune in on Thursday starting at 1 p.m. ET and watch five college students fight for their tuition.  We’re not only streaming it all live on the net, but AP’s own Matt Vengrin will be doing the play-by-play.

Remember, our Player of the Year will win their tuition, a custom-made APCC championship ring, and an exclusive showcase in Bluff Magazine. Some of this year’s contestants are making the trip from three time zones away, but you can be there with a single click.  Just follow our live feed right here.  Don’t forget to read our blogs and track us on twitter during and after the event.

If my college experiences are to be believed, pulling an all-nighter probably won’t work here either.  Good luck to all the players anyway.

If I could change the font size in the title, I would, because our Sunday guarantees just got

HUGE

You can see all the new No Limit Holdem guarantees for every day here, but the highlights are:

2. 4:00 pm ET  -  $200K Guaranteed
3. 5:30 pm ET  -  $35K Guaranteed
4. 6:30 pm ET  -  $50K Guaranteed 6-seated

So, in other words, don’t miss our Sundays at AP.

We’ve been busy marketing our College Challenge event this past month and are seeing improvements in all of our tourneys. We’ve been sending posters all over Universities in the US and can see trackable results. That’s the greatest thing about working in marketing for an online service-providing business. Everything we do is trackable. With the exception of TV (which still has decent trackability), almost everything we promote gives us the ability to see how it is performing within hours of launching it, sometimes as soon as minutes.

In other industries sometimes you have to wait years to see your hard work get in front of your customers, but with online poker, it’s instantaneous. We get to reach out to our players any time we want to test things, ask questions, get feedback, etc. Not many other types of businesses can say that. We also get to see our players face to face at live poker events and promotions, which is great to interact with customers on a personal level like that. We love our players and are as passionate about poker as they are.
