Having returned to Macau in 2016 for the first time in three years, the Asian Poker Tour is back once again in 2017 at its new Babylon Casino home.
The Asian Poker Tour is coming back to Macau this month, with the popular tour setting up camp at Babylon Casino’s Macau Billionaire Poker Room for the very first time.
APT Macau will be held from 14 to 22 June and will boast a full schedule of 18 events, including the HK$19,800 buy-in Main Event which kicks off on Saturday 17 June.
There will also be a HK$33,000 High Rollers event and a HK$200,000 Super High Rollers tournament which will run over two days from 21 June and is sure to attract many of the region’s elite players.
Last year the Asian Poker Tour returned to Macau after a three-year hiatus, holding two events in the process – APT Macau in October and the APT Finale Macau in December – at the famous Lisboa Casino on the Peninsula.
The move to Babylon sees APT Macau held in the Macau Fisherman’s Wharf precinct for the very first time, providing players an opportunity to enjoy the themed leisure and entertainment complex with its array of dining and shopping facilities.
