APT Asian Series Debuts in Cebu

The Asian Poker Tour has been a mainstay at Asia-Pacific hotspots for a few years now, and next week it’ll unveil its new APT Asian Series. The inaugural event will be held at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Lahug, Cebu City, Philippines from Jan. 10-17.

The magic number for Asian Series Cebu is seven. Keeping to the traditional APT format, the Asian Series will play a series of 7 Texas hold’em side events and 7 satellite events. The first of those events is the 5th annual Cebu Poker Open — a PhP 5,500 buy-in event with a guaranteed prize pool of PhP 1 million. Also on the schedule is a PhP 200,000 buy-in high roller event. But the premier event of the series is the PhP 50,000 (approximately $1,130) buy-in main event.

Day 1A of the main event starts on Jan. 13 and wraps up with the final table on Jan. 17. Players will start with 15,000 in chips, and blind levels will last for 45 minutes. Blinds start at 25-50.
