In 2018, the APT was the first international brand to set foot in Ho Chi Minh City. The event amassed a tour record of 664 Main Event entries and an overall festival prize pool exceeding VN₫ 20 Billion (~US$ 860,000). Since then, the APT has kicked off its calendar season in Vietnam, adding two more stops within the year. Some of the tour’s biggest winners were international players Lim Yo Hwan aka BoxeR, Tetsuya Tsuchikawa, Vincent Chauve, AkshayNasa, and most notably, WSOP bracelet champion Abhinav Iyer. At the January 2020 series opener, the tour’s popularity was reflected in the numbers, paying out over a million US dollars.
With borders open to foreign travelers, the APT’s return to HCMC promises to be very exciting with all the crowd favorites scheduled and sizable guarantees on major events.
