Betfair Asian Poker Tour Full to Capacity

The organisers of the first ever Betfair Asian Poker Tour have announced that more than 370 players have paid the $5,000 buy-in for the Main Event and that consequently the event has reached capacity and registration has closed.

Following the qualifying events, which begin in Singapore this weekend on November 12, Betfair expects more than 400 players for the Main Event. For a field of 400, first place will pay $558,700, second place $299,800 and third place $149,000, from a prize pool of roughly $2m.

'This is the largest poker tournament to take place in Asia and the first poker event in Singapore,' said Betfair's head of poker Ben Fried. 'We are privileged to host such a groundbreaking event.'

Players from 32 countries around the world will join a large contingent of local players for the three day Main Event, starting on November 15, in the Mandarin Ballroom of the Meritus Mandarin Hotel, Singapore.
