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.
What’s Next In The Asian Poker Tour 2020 Online Series? If you want to try to emulate this amazing feat and grab your own share of APT fame, the good news is that the Asian Poker Tour 2020 runs through May 10 at GGPoker, with hundreds of thousands in tournament prizes yet to be claimed. Asian Poker Tour 2020 Online Series Promotions In conjunction with the APT event, Natural8 will be launching other exclusive promotions. Players can win and exclusive APT Player of The Series package worth $2,000, tickets to the upcoming WSOP Super Circuit Online Series as well as 100% rakeback on the $5,000 Super High Roller event. World Poker Tour is the premier name in internationally televised gaming and entertainment with brand presence in land-based tournaments, television, online, and mobile.
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:

Asian Poker Tour 2020 will be online for the first time, and the platform that will host the game will be Natural8.
The online poker series will feature a total of 62 events, but there will also be more than 180 satellite tournaments for getting into important events for less money. The series also offers more than $1.5 million guaranteed.
The most successful player will have an opportunity to win the Asian Poker Tour Player of the Series trophy — which is a great accolade to get.
The entire series will last for 12 days, starting on April 29 and ending on May 10. Out of the 62 events, there are four that you might want to pay more attention to as they are considered great and will attract a lot of players. Some of them might even be poker starts.
Events To Pay Attention To
The central event of the series will be the Main Event, which will take place on May 5. The event will require a buy-in of $500 to take part in it.
If you like PLO, then you should pay attention to Pot-Limit Omaha Championships that will take place one day after the Main Event starts. You will have to pay a total of $400 to buy yourself a seat for this event.
There will also be a Short Deck event which is called Short Deck Championship, and it also comes with a buy-in of $400.
Finally, you should check out the event simply called Championships, which requires $800 buy-in and starts on May 10 – the last day of the series.
Apart from the four mentioned events, there will be $200 Progressive Bounty Hunters games, as well as Super High Roller games that will require $5,000 buy-in. The events with the lowest buy-ins start at $50, and the lowest satellite buy-ins start at $6.
If you’re interested in playing poker with some of the poker stars, you may have an opportunity to do it, as some of the Natural8’s ambassadors are going to be there. Some of the players you may have heard of are Michael Soyza, Kitty Kuo, Toma Tsugunari, Kosei Ichinose, and others.
More and more poker tournaments are offering players an opportunity to take part in them online. The reason for that is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now spread all over the globe.
This resulted in many live poker tournaments being canceled, and some of them opted to shift their focus to online poker and enable players to take part in them while at home.
Asian Poker Tour 2020 Online
Recently, the World Series of Poker Circuit announced its Online Series, which will start in May. The series will feature a lot of great events that players usually have an opportunity to play when taking part in live WSOP Circuit tournaments.

The most successful ones will even receive WSOPC gold rings, which is one of the highest accolades in the world of poker. The winner of the WSOPC Main Event and the leaderboard leader will also get an invitation to the $1 million WSOP Global Casino Championship.
It’s no secret that the business is booming for online casinos and poker rooms so far, as many poker players who usually prefer live games and tournaments now don’t really have an alternative.
