APT Asian Poker Series Prague Day 2 Chip Leader Wataru Kesugi
“Whilst we would have liked to have seen more players at our inaugural tournament in Europe, when we were invited by the organisers to do a three day event, we fully understood that we would be the final act of the 17 day Prague Poker Festival – tournament 28 – and that we would clash with some tournaments being staged by EPT Prague. – We were not anticipating a large entry; for us this was a soft run to assess the potential of the European market for APT. We will return next year with a 7 day event for sure,” commented Asian Poker Tour CEO Jeff Mann.
