Asian Poker Tour Increases Guaranteed Prize For Macau

 by Tina Golden

StarWorld Galaxy Casino in Macau

 Asian Poker Tour CEO Chris Parker announced the APT has increased the guaranteed prize pool for the Macau leg of the event. Heady with the success of the beginning 6-day tournament in Manila, the new prize pool for Macau of $1,500,000 U.S. dollars will ensure that the winner will take home about half a million dollars. This makes it the largest guaranteed prize ever for an Asian poker event. In contrast, the champion of the Manila leg, David Saab of Australia, took home only $280,000 with the second place winner, Korean Chris Roh, picking up $150,000. The APT Macau will run August 26-31 at the StarWorld Hotel and Casino.
