Online Poker Rooms Show Support

The Asian Poker Tour has been gaining more momentum, with many online poker rooms joining them in their support. The APT has recently announced that some of the biggest names in online poker sites have decided to pledge sending their players to their events next year. This will greatly increase both the visibility of the poker tour and their credibility.

The iPoker Network, PartyPoker.com, and EverestPoker.com have agreed along with many other poker sites to send their players. They have joined PKR.com, JBetPoker.com, PokerTrillion.com, World3DPoker.com, 888.com, the Microgaming Network and the National Poker League in validating the poker tour.

The Manila based poker tour has recently released information on their first event, which will be held from January 27th through February 1st of next year. It will be held at the Dusit Thani Manila Hotel in Makati City and will have a buy-in of $2,700.

The poker tour say that they are excited about next year’s event and believe that they will grow quickly with this kind of dedication from the online poker sites. With so many players qualifying through one of their poker partners, they should not have any problems gaining strength and numbers.

They think that they will likely surpass how they did at last year’s poker event. Chris Parker, the CEO for the APT says that they are expecting many more players than they had last year, which only shows how well poker is doing in Asia. They believe that it is about to take off.
