The Asian Poker Tour has inked deals with Resorts World Manila and Geutebruck Korea Inc., and a round-up from the most recent action in the Winfred Hotel and Casino. 

The Asian Poker Tour (APT) has agreed on a deal with Resorts World Manila that will see the Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., owned establishment become the venue of choice in the Philippines for APT Events for the next three years.

The pair has announced two events for 2018 with the 2018 APT Philippines Championship running March 21 to April 1, and an APT Philippines event running September 11 to 20.

In April, Resorts World Manila was home to the APT’s largest field when Mike Takayama beat 442 entrants to capture his second APT Main Event title and $105,530 in prize money. The APT has held 18 events at Resorts World Manila, including the APT Resorts World Manila Iron Man Poker Challenge in 2013 when Damon Shulenberger became a Guinness World Record Holder for winning the longest running poker tournament lasting 48 hours, 55 minutes and 58 seconds.
