Sunny Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, is set to host the APPT event starting May 29, with the final table taking place on June 1. The tournament forecast calls for over 400 players to compete for the winner's share of a guaranteed $1 million prize pool.
Right now, you can find daily satellites running for as low as $3.30+3¢ to win a seat in one of the APPT Manila Super Satellites. The super-satellites, running March 31 to May 12, cost $250+$18 to buy in directly.
The winners of the super-satellites will be rewarded with a $6,000 APPT package for the Manila event, including:
- $2,500 main event buy-in
- $3,500 for flights and spending
With $1 million being the highest guaranteed prize pool ever offered in Asia, the Manila APPT event promises to deliver a world-class poker experience, and the chance for another online satellite winner to make his or her mark in the world of live poker.

According to pokerpages.com:
Several police raids on live poker events last year and Norwegian authorities declaring poker to be ‘illegal’ under current Norwegian lottery law have prompted the move. Widespread media coverage of Norwegian success stories such as the meteoric rise of Annette Obrestad who at 18 won the 2007 WSOP Europe, also served to put poker in the spotlight, making it a clearer target for poker foes as well as increasing its popularity.
The event still expects to draw about 500 players, according to the story.
