First Venue of The Poker Circuit’s Motherboard Series Announced
The Poker Circuit (TPC) has announced that the first venue to sign on for its innovative TPC Motherboard is Poker Royale Sports Club.
The TPC Motherboard is a tournament series that will act as a pre-event for APT Philippines 2010, which will be staged at Resorts World Manila from 23rd-29th August 2010.
The series’ unique format will give local players the opportunity to win seats into the APT Philippines Main Event – one of the region’s top international poker tournaments this year.
Independent poker rooms from around the country will run their own legs of the TPC Motherboard during July and August with the finalists from each event coming together for a final play-off tournament to be staged on the opening day of APT Philippines.
Located on Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City, Poker Royale’s TPC Motherboard leg will be from August 6-9 2010 (3 starting days and a Day 2). The event will have a P1M guarantee prize pool that includes 18seats into the TPC Motherboard final event.
“Being a newly-opened poker room, we’re really excited to be announcing our first major tournament,” said Poker Royale’s Charles Koo. “Also, the APT is involved, so it is a very significant event.”

About the TPC Motherboard: The basic premise of the TPC Motherboard is that it will start with one tournament at Php 1,000,000 guaranteed. The guaranteed prize pool will then increase as more poker clubs join in. The whole master plan is to have multiple venues all over the Philippines, playing with the same mechanics and same buy-in of PhP 5,000 + 400, contributing to a multimillion peso prize pool.
For every Php 500,000 guaranteed by a poker room, nine players will be in the money and will qualify for the TPC Motherboard Finale on the opening day of APT Philippines 2010. For example, if five poker rooms were to contribute Php 1,000,000 each (creating a total guarantee of Php 5,000,000), a total of 90 players would be in the money and advance to the Finale.
The TPC Motherboard Finale will take place on August 23, the first day of APT Philippines 2010, at Resorts World Manila. Every player in the Finale is guaranteed a cash prize, with the top players winning seats to the APT Philippines 2010 main event.
APT Philippines 2010 Gets Early Support from Top Online Poker Rooms
MANILA, PHILIPPINES — With APT Philippines 2010 still over two and a half months away, some of the biggest names in online poker are on board to show their support for the event.
Three top poker sites and networks – PKR, PartyPoker, and the iPoker Network, will be running online satellites to the APT Philippines 2010 main event.
PartyPoker, which operates the World Poker Tour (WPT), is the third largest poker site in the world. PKR, meanwhile, is known throughout the poker industry for its cutting-edge graphics and realistic 3D game-play simulations.
Also running qualifiers to the event will be the iPoker Network. The largest online poker network in the world today, the iPoker Network has a total of 67 member cardrooms.
Land-based qualifiers to the event are also on the horizon. Resorts World Manila, the official venue of APT Philippines 2010, is looking to run satellites and other promotions leading up to the big event.
In addition, the APT will be looking to partner with poker rooms around Asia to run qualifying tournaments for seats to the main event.
APT Philippines 2010 will be held from August 23 to 29 at the Resorts World Manila complex in Manila, Philippines. Buy-in is set at approximately US $2,500 + US $200.
Last year’s APT Philippines main event won by Filipino poker pro Neil Arce, who took home US $185,000 for finishing first. The win gave poker a big boost in the country as it was the first time a local player had won an international poker tournament held in the Philippines.
Aside from the main event, there will be eight exciting side events at APT Philippines 2010, including a high-rollers tournament, a Pot-Limit Omaha tournament, and the APT’s very own Greed tournament.
