Re-entries for APT Asian Series Manila

The Asian Poker Tour (APT) is pleased to announce that the upcoming PHP 50,000 buy-in APT Asian Series Manila Main Event on August 20, 2011 at Resorts World Manila will now offer players a re-entry option, giving those who are eliminated from Day 1A another chance to play for the coveted title in Day 1B. . .

. . .APT Chief Executive Officer Jeff Mann commented, “At our last APT Asian Series in Cebu we saw a mix of regional, international and local players, and many of those players came up to me personally and suggested the re-entry format. After countless meetings with my tournament staff, we’ve concluded there are nothing but positives across the board in offering re-entries.”

. . .“We will still offer exactly the same great blind structure, deep starting stack and end times just like we did in the past. The only difference in adding re-entries is that there will be more money up for grabs and the players opting to play Day 1A will truly have a second chance at the APT Asian Series Main Event title.” Read more.
