My, they grow up so fast.
Just a few short years ago, the Asia Pacific Poker Tour was a smattering of events in the Far East, a short series of tournaments that looked to test the poker waters in that part of the world. Today, even we folks in the West are looking at the schedules and saying, “Wow, how can I get over there for that?”
We’ve just had a peek at the schedule for the kickoff of the APPT’s third season in Macau, and it rivals the rundown for just about any series we have ever seen. There’s little question why.
The Season 1 APPT Macau main event drew more than 300 players. Just a year later, more than 200 new players showed up to build a field of 538. It was a record then, and one that could very well be beaten this year.
Now, we’re looking at an APPT schedule that kicks off in just a little more than two weeks and will run for 15 straight days. During that time, we’re going to see 20 (count’em 20!) poker tournaments with buy-ins for every bankroll. Short-handed events, knockout tournaments, charity events, and high roller tourneys are all over the schedule. That’s not to mention to potentially record-breaking main event that kicks off on August 25th.
If you’re anything like us, you’re now thinking, “Well, surely I can find some way to get myself over there.” Fortunately for you, PokerStars is always running APPT qualifiers. Just click on EVENTS and APPT in the tournament lobby.
