The APT-RWM Poker Finale 2014 is the culmination of what was another great season for the Asian Poker Tour (APT), the most prestigious poker event this side of the world. The final APT tournament in the country for the year is expected to draw large numbers once again as APT regulars chase all-important points for the APT Player of the Year race and poker enthusiasts in th aim for one last shot at glory for 2014.
The eight-day poker festival is scheduled to run from December 3 to 10, 2014 at the Resorts World Manila (RWM) in Pasay City, Philippines. Before the start of the Philippine finale, APT tournament director Lloyd Fontillas looked back at what transpired for APT in 2014.
“2014 for us is what we can call a building year for APT staging fewer events. But we believe that we staged much more quality events in getting great play numbers,” Fontillas said emphasizing that this was a season when the tour went “quality over quantity”.
The tournament director also underscored the fact that the APT-RWM Poker Finale 2014 is not just about ending the APT season with a bang but to serve as a sign that the APT will have an even better year next season.
“Due to hard work, we are working with some new and some old partners to create this up coming year our biggest and busiest ever! This Finale is indeed going to be an exciting and action packed event setting the stage to for us to have our busiest year ever this coming 2015.”
Finally and definitely not the least, Fontillas mentioned APT’s growing collaboration with RWM, the premier tourists destination in the country..
“Our strong relationship with RWM has lead us to partner up with them to hold this Finale event to anchor the APT POY which has turned into a great race.”
