Where Are They From?

The APPT Seoul Main Event drew a crowd of 256 players and the majority, perhaps surprisingly, hails from Japan. The second place nation is China followed by the USA and Canada. When going down the list it's interesting to mention that there's also a player from Vietnam, Malaysia, Romania and no less than four from Mongolia.

Here's a look at all the countries and the amount of players they've provided for this event. Bear in mind that it's not legal for South Koreans to gamble in their own country, so therefor we won't see any home grown talent take this event down.
