There are ample opportunities to qualify for the Asian Poker Tour Macau Festival as iPoker Network, PartyPoker, Online Network, PKR, Bwin, Dafa Poker, Jbet, Betfriends and 32Red have all announced that they will be sending qualifiers this year.

The festival, which has doubled in length from six to 12 days will take place at the Galaxy Star World Casino in Macau from 12th to 23rd August 2009, culminating with the $4,300 buy in Main Event.


Asian Poker Tour CEO Chris Parker said: “We are very encouraged by the enthusiasm of our partners to send players and we look forward to welcoming more online poker rooms on board. This year’s Asian Poker Tour Macau Festival will be bigger and better with 12 days of non-stop poker action and fun. The Main Event has been extended, with the first of three day ones getting underway on August 19 and the televised final table scheduled for August 23. The Asian Poker Tour Macau Festival will feature a side event schedule never seen in Asia before, including several new formats that will stir the curiosity of poker enthusiasts at all levels.”


Players from 40 countries attended last year and included some of the world’s top pros. 20-year-old American Yevgeniy Timoshenko beat a field which included Doyle Brunson, John Juanda, Huck Seed, Johnny Chan and David ‘Chino’ Reem to take the $500,000 Main Event first prize.
