APPT Macau Releases Schedule for Season 7
Back on Feb. 21, 2013, PokerStars announced plans for a branded live poker room called PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams in a property along the Cotai Strip in Macau. Consequently, PokerStars revealed that its events, such as the Asia-Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Macau poker festival, the Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP), the Macau Poker Cup series and the Macau Millions, would be hosted at the new venue.
While the Macau Poker Cup finished in April, the PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) has recently released its APPT Macau Season 7 schedule, which will take place at the poker room from June 7 to 16 and feature 11 official Asia Player of the Year (APOY) events, including a HKD $25,000 (US $3,200) Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of HKD $6,000,000 (US $770,000).
“The PokerStars online brand drives more traffic to live poker events than any other,” PokerStars Director of Live Operations for Asia-Pacific Danny McDonagh said last February. “Players know that PokerStars is synonymous with integrity and high quality. That makes this collaboration a natural fit because City of Dreams has been at the forefront in providing the most innovative and premium gaming experience that is second to none in Macau.”
Players can now qualify for the APPT at PokerStars.net. Here’s a look at the stop’s schedule:
