Target Stack Satellites
Introducing Target Stack Satellites – the fastest way to qualify for an APT Taipei event! Instead of playing a satellite event until the very end, win a seat the moment you hit the target stack!
Example: Let’s say that the event has a Target Stack of 12,000 chips. The moment you get 12,000 chips, you will immediately be awarded a seat to the target event. No more playing till the end!
