Asia Pacific Poker Tour Dates Set

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

As one of the top online casinos and poker rooms on the planet, the good people behind the scenes of PokerStars.com have recently had the opportunity to announce publicly their fine-tuned schedule for the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT). This is a great development for the online casino and poker world since for the third year in a row, Poker Stars is bringing some gaming magic to a fabulous region of the world that has oftentimes been overlooked in the past. But that past is history.

The Asian region of the world is one of the fastest-growing segments of the fan base for online casinos and poker and other gambling sites. And this year’s Asia Pacific Poker Tour is going to serve as a testament to how far the region has come in terms of collecting big quantities of players from all corners of the globe. It is set to begin on the 24th of August at Macau’s Grand Lisboa Casino.

The buy-in is a cool $5,160 but for every casino gamer out there who loves the thrill of being part of a world-class competition that brings together the best players from all over the world, that is a small price to pay for a shot at true glory.

Over the course of three flights this first poker event is going to have a 700-player cap. Since last year’s competition saw an unbelievable 12-hour final table event, everyone knows that the action at this particular casino gaming adventure will be fierce and intense and quite possibly very lengthy. Las time around a player named Eddie Sabat was able to walk away with the top prize of the contest, but this year it seems that it could go any way.
