The fourth season of the APPT enjoyed a spectacular start back in March, kicking off with a special event in the Philippines.
The APPT Manila: PAGCOR Chairman’s Cup shattered its US$1 million guarantee, attracting 430 players who competed for a US$1,042,750 prizepool, making it the largest poker tournament ever held in the country. The event was won by American Binh Nguyen who earned a US$260,700 payday.
The tour then ventured to the gambling capital of Asia as the Grand Lisboa Hotel and Casino in Macau played host to the APPT Macau Spring Festival of Poker. The Main Event attracted 342 players and it was Victorino Torres who captured the prestigious title and took home HK$3,246,200.
The APPT returned in September with the Auckland Main Event. The largest poker event in New Zealand attracted 218 players with the “Godfather of New Zealand Hip Hop” Danny ‘Brotha D’ Leaoasavaii emerging as a surprise winner. Brotha D rocked the house and collected NZ$170,000 in prize money while keeping the APPT Auckland title on home soil for the third year running.
Attention now turns to Cebu for the second APPT event in the Philippines this year, before the season-ending APPT Grand Final which will be once again held at Star City Casino in Sydney, Australia from December 7th-12th.
