Asian Poker Tour
The Asian poker tour is the largest Asia based poker tournament. The tour is still very much in its infancy as it only started in 2008, with two “test” events to gauge the interest in the tournaments. One of these was held in Macau and the other in the Philippines, both received a good number of entrants. In 2009 the tour plans to expand, and add two further events; Seoul and Singapore to the schedule.
