With the dust only just settling on another record-setting series at APT Taipei, the Asian Poker Tour has announced key dates for its next festival in Incheon, Korea.
APT Incheon takes place from August 7-16 at the Paradise City Casino (above) on the island of Yeongjongdo — a part of the city of Incheon and home to its international airport.
The series has a guaranteed prizepool of around $2.7 million across its many events. While a full schedule has not yet been confirmed, we’ve got dates and details for some of the key tournaments taking place this summer.
These include the Main Event, a $1,700 buy-in tourney with $1 million guaranteed, which has four starting flights running August 9-11 with the final table playing out on August 15.

The festival will begin in customary style with the National Cup, a $480 buy-in tournament with over $135K GTD, on August 7.
The National Cup held in Taipei last month set a new record for largest ever field in the tour’s history, so this could be a great opportunity for a big return on investment.
A $620 Mystery Bounty Hunter with $200K GTD runs from August 8, the same day that the APT Super High Roller kicks off. The latter will feature a buy-in of $10K and a guarantee of $350K.
The $25K Superstar Challenge will once again be the biggest buy-in on the schedule, and runs on August 10-11.
Other regular APT events including the Mini and Micro Main Events, the Baby Superstar Challenge, High Roller, Ultra Stack and the Zodiac Classic — Sponsored by Natural8 will also feature on what is sure to be a packed schedule. Find dates and details for these at the link below.
Expect plenty more smaller tourneys in fun formats and unusual variants to follow once the complete schedule is announced.
