Running alongside the Main Event will be the seventh side event of the series, the Open Face Chinese Pineapple Shootout 36 max at 3pm. This has a P16,500 buy-in fee. The APT Finale 2015 is scheduled to run from December 9-17, 2015 with a total of 18 side events slated throughout the festival dates. Seven trophies have already been awarded with the biggest cash prize going to Germany’s Sebastian Benz who won the record-breaking Welcome Event 1M Guaranteed.

There is also a heated race ongoing for the APT Player of the Year 2015 title with APT triple crown champion Samad Razavi looking to capture his fourth title in a row. Last night Razavi cashed at the Head Hunter even, extending his lead against second-ranked player Iori Yogo from Japan. Both players are expected to play the Main Event.
