45 entries

*a special insurance deal was struck for the sixth place finisher

The eagle-eyed among you will no doubt have noticed that the runner-up in the APT Korea Main Event was none other than the legendary Johnny Chan, something that delighted the eventual champion Lifeng Shen who described Chan as an idol of his.

Although the attendance in the APT Korea Main Event stood at only 45 entrants, down from the 166 earlier in the year, one has to remember that this event’s buy-in had more than doubled from $1,000 to $2,700. It will be interesting to see if the organisers lower the buy-in again when the APT next visits Korea.

Next up for the APT is APT Asian Series Manila in October 9-16. Once again, the Resorts World Manila, Passay in the picturesque Philippines is the venue with the highlights of the festival being the PhP108,000 (approx. A$2,700) High Rollers event and the PhP50,000 (approx. A$1,250) APT Asian Series Manila Main Event.

When the APT was last in the Philippines, 205 players turned out for the US$2,700 Main Event, which Australia’s Khac Trung Tran won for a cool US$124,000. Will as many players turn out for this latest event? We do not have long to wait to find out.
