Asia Pacific Poker Tour

Asia Pacific Poker Tour logo

The Asia Pacific Poker Tour , or APPT for short , is a series of poker tournaments hosted by PokerStars . It will be played in Australia , China , South Korea , Macau , New Zealand and the Philippines .

history

The APPT is following the example of the European Poker Tour (EPT), which has been organized by the online poker room PokerStars since 2004 . As the name suggests, the tournaments - unlike the EPT - take place exclusively in East Asia , Australia and New Zealand . From 2014 to 2016, the Aussie Millions Poker Championship in Melbourne was part of the APPT's calendar at the beginning of the year and resulted in prize money equivalent to more than one million US dollars . The Asia Pacific Poker Tour was discontinued at the end of 2016 and combined with the European Poker Tour and the Latin American Poker Tour to form the PokerStars Festival and PokerStars Championship tournament series .

Logo until 2016

In mid-December 2017 it was announced that the tournaments in the East Asian and Oceanic regions will be played again under the name Asia Pacific Poker Tour from 2018 . In the course of this return, the logo was slightly changed.
