The Main Event will run for a total of five days, with the Final 8 on Tuesday, October 11th. Buy-in is PhP55,000.
In addition to the Main Event, Side Events have been the draw for many players. With varying structures and varied buy-ins ranging from PhP5,500-PhP108,000, there is something for everyone. Here are the side events to look forward to at the APT Manila 2016:
