Asian Poker Tour Set to Rock Macau in November

The last leg of the 2010 Asian Poker Tour is set to rock Macau for nine days offering a jam-packed schedule of poker events and tournaments at City of Dreams, an integrated entertainment resort that is the newest “must experience” destination in Macau. City of Dreams, in collaboration with the Asian Poker Tour will run the 2010 APT Macau from Saturday, November 6th to Sunday, November 14th, 2010.

The poker festival will offer players a series of side events plus a HK$32,500 + HK$2,500 (approximately US$4,180 + US$320) main event. The series will be staged for the first time at City of Dreams, a close collaborator for the event. The venue offers an ideal location for the event thanks to the recent opening of Hard Rock Poker Lounge in June, 2010, which enhances the face of the Macau Poker scene and provides a sophisticated yet fun atmosphere designed with the players’ comfort in mind to attract the world’s top poker players as well as high-end bachelor parties and private events.

Last year, French online poker qualifier. Adrien Allain claimed the HK$3M (US$389,103) first prize from a total prize pool of almost HK$10M (US$1.3M) and the 2009 APT Macau Main Event Championship title.

“We are delighted that APT Macau has a new home and in particular a new and enthusiastic collaborator: Especially Hard Rock Poker Lounge, boasts full integrated bar and lounge facilities and is perfect for private parties and special events in Macau will add a new edge to the APT Macau event. I think players are going to have a lot of fun. We are planning for a 9-day festival of poker that will include a main event that is expected to attract a record number of players from around the world; at least 10 side events, numerous satellite tournaments and other activities, and for sure it is going to be Hard Rock poker all the way.” commented Mr. Jeff Mann, Chief Executive Officer of APT.
