HomeINCHEON CITY, Korea – After 33 advanced from Day 1A of the Asian Poker Tour (APT) Korea Incheon 2022 Main Event yesterday, a new set of aspirants takes to the felt for their chance to qualify for Day 2 and a shot at the KRW300M (US$208,635) guaranteed prize pool while two new Side Events take flight in the fourth day of competition at the Paradise City Hotel and Casino here.
Day 1B has cards in the air at 1:00PM (UCT+9).
Day 1A saw 58 entries and this being a weekend, an influx is expected as thus far a total 750 entries have already been tallied from the first six tiffs of this staging.
