Lucky Starting Stack

Most tournaments nowadays normally start with 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 starting banks or even ones that are equal to, double or triple the buy in.

In the case of the 2009 APPT High Rollers Event, each player starts with 88,800 in chips - an amount equal to the HK$88,000 buy in.

It may be an odd number to begin play with, but since the number eight is a lucky number in Eastern culture, the APPT is hoping that the tournament will be lucky for everyone!
