HomePASAY CITY, Philippines – With Day 1A of the Asian Poker Tour (APT) 2022 Philippines Championships Event drawing 68 entries, Day 1B is seen to grow that number as the final qualification begins today even as three more side events and the much-awaited APT Players Party are on the menu today at the Grand Wing Casino, Newport World Resorts here.
Cards fly for Day 1B at 1:00PM (UCT+8) in this event that has a PhP10M (US$176,392) guaranteed prize pool.

Edoc brings a staggering 348,000 in chips into the next phase that happens tomorrow (November 25th).
