The schedule featured a USD 1,100 buy-in Main Event that drew in 442 entries, a USD 2,200 buy-in Championships event with 189 entries, and 18 action-packed side events that saw a turnout of 318 entries for the opening event.

With this latest announcement, the APT Macau Championships 2018 becomes the second declared APT event to be hosted in the MBP room since signing the five-year agreement between the two brands. The venue suits the APT’s needs perfectly with the room able to comfortably fit in 40 tables.
