Asian Poker Tour releases 2020 schedule of events
In two month’s time, the curtains will draw on 2019. Players will go on a short break to enjoy the holidays and spend their winnings. Before doing so, it would be wise to start planning for 2020.
Releasing their schedule early is the Asian Poker Tour, the longest running brand in the region. Last year, the tour hosted nine events; this year they will wrap up with 11 events. For the coming year, they’ve bumped it up to 12 events. It will undoubtedly be an exciting year for the APT as they return to popular locations, introduce new stops, and host an 18-day Korea swing. Take a look at the schedule below and start plugging them in your calendar.
