Japanese Contingent Going Strong

[user67765]

We can't help but notice the strong showing by the Japanese contingent here in this year's APPT Seoul event. Of the 165 starters, 35 players have registered themselves as being based in Japan and there are many "JPL - Japan Poker League" logos splashed across the hoodies of players still alive in the field. Of course local Korean players are prohibited by law from playing in this event, but with its close proximity to Tokyo, Seoul is an attractive proposition for those residing in Japan until they are able to one day host their own APPT event!
