The fourth leg of the 2008 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour brings us to Manila in the Philippines. Poker in the Philippines is currently experiencing a huge surge in popularity thanks to the local Filipino Poker Tour which has brought many players to this event today. The FPT has already seen Mike Tyler, Kent Del Rosario, Neil Acre and Joshua Rivera capture huge victories this year as the tour reaches its climax with its season ending Championship here at this event.
Last year the APPT Manila event attracted 255 players and it looks like this event will go very close to reaching that figure once again.
