Asian Poker Classic facilitates with a fabulous poker experience, which has never been created, and also brings you back year after year. Perhaps for the first time, the poker industry has spotted this part of the world as a potential one, and also has few plans in the pipeline.
Around 200 players are expected to participate in this tournament with $7500 as buy-in. It is suppose to attract some of the best and quality poker players across the globe. There are also many celebrities taking part in the event. The Asian Poker Classic is even relying on old stalwart, the online poker satellite to draw more players into the event through online poker site (and tournament sponsor) Maharajah Club.
Talking about poker players in Asia, this nationality has a long history of the game. Starting from Johnny Chan to Men "The Master" Nguyen to Can Kim Hua, Asian players have created a significant mark on the game to such an extent that the Asian influence would be literally felt in any tournament that is conducted these days.
The game of poker has finally cruised its way to Asia, which could perhaps expand the poker world by millions more and spread the knowledge of poker across everyone in this part of the world.
We wish you GOOD LUCK in the qualifying and hope to see you at this prestigious and culturally enticing poker event. You also have a chance to win one of these seats via the satellites running over the next few months.
