The Asian Poker Tour (APT) has announced its schedule of planned tour dates for the 2020 calendar year, offering what at this time appears to be a 12-event slate. That’s the largest such tour schedule for the APT in some time, stepping up by one from the 11 the Philippines-based tour offers in 2019.

According to an APT presser, the tour’s 2020 edition will return to its most popular destinations, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, and Korea, in addition to a couple of new stops. The APT’s General Manager and Executive Tournament Director, Lloyd Fontillas, said, “[W]e have laid out the foundation to make 2020 a fun and exciting year. Players can expect larger guarantees, new events, new destinations, and more players attending each and every event.”

The APT is one of the longest-running poker tours (not counting the venerable but stand-alone Aussie Millions) to serve the Asian Pacific Rim poker market. The APT was launched in 2008, just after the PokerStars-affiliated Asia Pacific Poker Tour debuted in 2007. Together, the two tours established a toehold for traveling poker tours in the region, with the APT firmly positioned as a mid-stakes series offering, something on the order of a Heartland Poker Tour as positioned within the North American market.

To date, nine of the 12 planned APT 2020 stops have been firmed up, with the other three in a “to be announced” status at the present time. Here’s the current schedule for the Asian Poker Tour 2020:

January 8 – 19: APT Vietnam Ho Chi Minh
Venue: Pro Poker Club, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

February 19 – March 1: APT Taiwan
Venue: Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association (CTP Club), Taipei City, Taiwan

March 6 – March 15: (To be announced)

April 7 – 18: APT Vietnam Da Nang (To be confirmed)
Venue: WIN Poker Club, Da Nang, Vietnam

April 27 – May 10: APT Philippines (Subject to regulatory approval)
Venue: Resorts World Manila, Newport City, Philippines

June 3 – 14: APT Vietnam – Ho Chi Minh

July 1 – July 12: (To be announced)

July 25 – August 11: APT Korea – Seoul & Incheon (To be confirmed)
Venue: Paradise Casino, Grand Walkerhill, Seoul, South Korea
Venue: Paradise City Incheon, South Korea
(The APT notes that this will be the first APT event with 2 local stops, merging the existing Seoul and Incheon events into a back-to-back, 18-day poker festival)

September 10 – 21: APT Philippines (Subject to regulatory approval)
Venue: Resorts World Manila, Newport City, Philippines

October 7 – 18: APT Taiwan
Venue: Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association (CTP Club), Taipei City, Taiwan

November 4 – 11: APT Korea – Busan (To be confirmed)
Venue: Paradise Casino Busan, South Korea

December 2 – 13: APT Finale (Venue to be announced)

The APT has also served up a running summary of its 2019 tour, counting through eight of the year’s 11 stops:

  • Grand total prize pool: USD $11 Million (approximate)
  • Grand total entries: 19,169
  • Average number of entries: 2,400
  • Main event entries ranging from: 180 to 523
  • Main event prize pools ranging from: US $177,000 to US $493,000

  • Number of countries represented: 30 to 65
