A host of online poker networks and rooms have signed up to send players to the Asian Poker Tour Macau this year including iPoker Network, PartyPoker, Ongame Network, Bwin, PKR, Dafa Poker, JBET Poker, Betfriends and 32Red
The Asian Poker Tour has extended its run in Macau this year to 12 days. The event will be held at the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel and Casino from Aug. 12 to 23, 2009.
The $4,300 main event at the festival has been extended from Aug. 19 to 23 and will feature a televised final table. The festival will also see a plethora of side events which the organisers say will not have been seen in Asia before.
Last year the main event in Macau was won by Yevgeniy Timoshenko who took down $500,000.
Chief executive officer of the Tour, Chris Parker, said, “We are very encouraged by the enthusiasm of our partners to send players and we look forward to welcoming more online poker rooms on board. This year’s Asian Poker Tour Macau Festival will be bigger and better with 12 days of non-stop poker action and fun."
