The first ever Asia Pacific 안전놀이 터 Tour kicked off on the 24th of August in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. The total prize pool of $500,000 is to be shared among the more or less 200 players coming from 30 different countries. The event is being held at the Hyatt Hotel and is set to end today, August 27.
According to Same Lightman, organizer of the event, “”There has been a massive explosion in poker over the last 10 years. Poker used to be associated with shady men in smoke filled rooms but that’s not the case any more. Televised poker and the Internet has changed all that. Poker is a skills based sport based on mathematics and psychology.”
The region can thank PokerStars for bringing this tour to Asia. PokerStars is an online poker site (which I am sure you know) with millions of players around the world.
