Asian Poker Tour Returns to South Korea in August
The Asian Poker Tour (APT) is set to make a comeback to South Korea next month, with two major stops scheduled for August and September. The first event, APT Incheon, will take place at Paradise City Casino, Seoul, from August 1 to 10.
The APT Incheon 2025 event promises an exciting lineup of poker tournaments, including the main attraction, the APT Main Event. However, a detailed day-to-day tournament schedule for the APT Main Event, Super High Roller, High Roller, and women's events has not been provided in the current publicly available sources. For precise event-specific schedules, it is recommended to check the official Asian Poker Tour website or contact the organizers directly closer to the event dates.
The APT Main Event will kick off on August 3 with four opening flights, followed by the final day on August 9. The $500 Main Event for women will be held on August 4.
In addition to the Main Event, the APT Incheon stop will feature seven women's events, as well as two other marquee events: the APT Super High Roller and the APT High Roller. The APT Super High Roller will have a KRW 15 million (~ USD $10,750) buy-in on August 2, and the High Roller will have a KRW 5 million (~ USD $3,600) buy-in, starting on August 9.
