Asian Poker Tour heads to Taiwan in 2019

The Asian Poker Tour (APT) is going to add another stop to its circuit next year. It was announced last month that the tournament series would travel to Japan, but it now has another country in the lineup. According to an announcement by the APT, it also plans on hosting a tournament in Taiwan.

2019 will be the first year that the APT has been held in Japan and Taiwan. The Japan stop will take place in February, followed by the trip to Taiwan from February 20 to March 3.

The APT Taiwan will be held at the Chinese Texas Hold’Em Poker Association (CTP) room in Taipei. The CTP room can accommodate 25 tournament tables and has the capability to offer RFID live-streaming tables, one of the few venues in Asia able to do so. The CTP controls six poker rooms throughout the city and is Taipei’s largest poker venue.

Lloyd Fontillas, Executive Director and General Manager of the APT, said, “As the market leader in bringing world-class poker tournament events to new destinations in and around Asia, the Asian Poker Tour in partnership with the Chinese Texas [Hold’Em] Poker Association, are proud to bring the first APT event to Taipei.”
