There was a time when PokerStars Live Macau was the only venue offering Live tournaments in Macau. With the opening of Macau Billionaire Poker Room and the new partnership between Poker King Club and the Asian Poker Tour, the live tournament offering is flourishing in Macau.
Here is a look at the upcoming festivities in the area:
September 29 – October 2: APT Cruise

October 19-25 APT Macau
Regulatory issues led to APT Macau being cancelled last year, and so this festival is something poker players have been looking forward to for a while now. This year, the tournament has been made possible by the Lisboa Hotel, and Poker King Club who manage the new venue and are partners in this endeavour.
October 28 – November 13 -Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP)
The ACOP has always been one of the stellar events of the year in Asia, and that is in no small part due to the big prizes on offer. With serious money available, star names will undoubtedly flood to the tables for this event, with last year’s Main Event paying out HK$5,885,000 (USD$759,291) to champion Jimmy Zhou.
This enormous 17 day festival will see buy ins ranging from the affordable to the seriously sizeable, and will take place between October 28th and November 13th. This unmissable poker feast will be hosted by Pokerstars Live Macau.
