The Asian Poker Tour [1] (APT) is a major poker tour focusing on the Asia-Pacific region. It aims to promote poker by conducting poker tournaments and events in major Asia-Pacific cities such as Macau and Philippines.[2] The APT holds main events as well as assists in the setting up of smaller, accredited events throughout the Asian region.

History

The Asian Poker Tour (APT) [3] is the biggest and original poker tour in Asia.

The first ever APT event was held in Singapore in November 2006 while the APT was still under the management of Singapore-based Capital Events Pte. It was then that poker player Tony G [4] was named the first APT Champion.

The Asian Poker Tour was acquired by AsianLogic [5] (AIM:ALOG) in early 2008 and seeks to continue positioning itself as the premier poker tournament in Asia. Its growing popularity as a highly respected poker tour is a testament to its goal of bringing world-class poker experience in Asia. As a result, the Asian Poker Tour continues to be highly anticipated by poker players and enthusiasts in Asia and all over the world.

This year, the Asian Poker Tour will once again be holding big events at Asia’s most popular poker destinations, including Macau and the Philippines. In line with its commitment to helping the growth of the game in Asia, the Asian Poker Tour is also providing assistance with the setting up of smaller, accredited events in different locations all over the region.
