Asia Pacific Poker Tour Finds Seoul-Mate

One of the first world-class poker tournaments to be held in the Asia Pacific region is to be hosted by South Korean capital, Seoul later this month, when the PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) comes to town from September 28-30 at the Paradise Seoul Casino, in the grounds of the Sheraton Walkerhill Hotel.

“We created this series of world-class poker tournaments for poker tourists who want to experience something exciting and new along with their favourite pastime,” said Jeffrey Haas, president of APPT, in an email interview with The Korea Times.

“We saw an opportunity to promote Seoul as a unique tourist destination for international poker players who wanted a great poker tournament experience.”

A number of the world’s most recognisable poker faces, including 2005 WSOP winner Joe Hachem are scheduled to participate in the tournament, which will suffer from a lack of TV coverage, due to Korean gambling laws.

The pan-Asia poker tour kicked off last month in Manila, the Philippines, with 255 players coming from 35 countries around the world. The finalists from the Seoul and the Manila tournaments will join the APPT Grand Final in Sydney, Australia, in December.
