PokerStars.net has once again chose to use Shoot It Live for coverage of the Asia Pacific Poker Tour. Last time PokerStars used Shoot It Live was back in August 2009 for the season premiere in Macau, China.
This time the tournament takes place at the paradise like Shangri-La Resort and Spa near the Philippines’ city of Cebu. 319 players fight for a first prize of USD $158,000 (approx. 1,080,000 SEK). Among the 319 players we find 11 players all the way from Sweden.
Shoot It live is used by the local team of photographers feeding LCDs at the venue with live images and a live Twitter feed encouraging spectators and players to tweet about the tournament. The images are also being used by PokerStars blogs all around the world targeting different markets and languages. The image feed is also present for it’s live feeling but also serves as a image gallery at the Asia Pacific Poker Tour’s official website located here.
The next stop for the tournament is the Grand Final in Sydney Dec 1-6 where last year’s first prize was AUD $1,000,000 (approx. 6,350,000 SEK). Shoot It Live will of course be used again so stay tuned for some live action. And if you’re in Sydney please stop by the Star City Casino and tweet your feelings.
