Hot on the heels of a record-breaking stop in Taiwan, the Asian Poker Tour will head to South Korea for APT Incheon from August 1-10 for a 96-event schedule with guarantees that add up to over $2.8 million.
While the festival is headlined by its $1 million Main Event on August 3, seven women's events will be featured, including a Main Event and a High Roller.
The massive APT Taiwan stop last month featured 11 women's events, and Yi Ping Feng beat a field of 127 entries to win the APT Women's Main Event. The Main Event championship also includes a seat in the APT Women's Championship in November. Elsewhere on the APT Taiwan women's schedule, Molly Hsiao won a Women's High Roller that drew 61 entries.
The 'New Era' momentum will continue into South Korea, with another slate of events scheduled on the road to the APT Championship at the end of the year.
