Table Of Contents

The Asian Poker Tour will be taking over ART-tainment's Paradise City Hotel & Resort in Incheon, South Korea, from August 25-September 3 for the APT Incheon poker festival.

For ten days, Paradise City will play host to the 73 numbered events of the APT Incheon, including the ₩1,300,000,000 ($998,107) guaranteed APT Incheon ₩2,300,000 Main Event on August 28.

For players who want a chance to win their way into the Main Event for less, four of the numbered events are satellites to the Main Event and there will also be online satellites running at Natural8, the festival's sponsor.

Festival Highlights

With 73 tournaments on the docket, as well as the ~$1 million Main Event, there is plenty of poker to play at Paradise City Hotel & Resort.

The series begins with Event #1: APT Incheon ₩600,000 Kickoff. This ₩175,000,000 ($134,335) guaranteed event will have two Day 1 flights, one each on August 25 and 26.

The currently-popular mystery bounty format also makes an appearance with Day 1 flights for the ₩800,000 ($614) buy-in Event #8: APT Incheon Mystery Bounty Hunter Sponsored by Natural8 on August 26 and 27.

Some other major events to look forward to are:

  • the APT Incheon ₩7,000,000 Super High Roller — 8-max (₩250,000,000 GTD) on August 26
  • the APT Incheon Sunday Super Stack (₩100,000,0000 GTD) on August 27

What Players Should Expect

Getting to Paradise City is fairly straightforward as it is right on the outskirts of Incheon International Airport. If you pre-book at least a week in advance, you can even arrange airport pickup with the APT's travel partner DK Poker Tour Bookings.

Alternatively, the proximity to the terminal means players arriving at Incheon International will have little trouble finding a taxi, Uber, or bus for the ten-minute journey to the hotel.

If you don't want to stay right in Paradise City, the area around the airport has plenty of other hotels nearby that can cater to most players' budgets.

Away from the tables, central Incheon is about an hour away by public transport and has plenty of cultural sites, nightlife, and local restaurants for players to enjoy.
