PokerStars and APPT Announce Season 3 ScheduleIf it seems like only six months ago that the second season of the PokerStars.com Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) wrapped in Australia, that notion would be correct. Without much delay and after careful planning, the APPT has recently announced its Season 3 schedule, which boasts of five tour stops in five different countries.

The third season of the APPT will feature poker tournaments in China, South Korea, New Zealand, and the Philippines, and will hold its grand final event in Australia. The last stop was also the scene of the Season 2 grand final that saw Martin Rowe take home one million Australian dollars for the victory.

As so often happens on PokerStars regional tours, many of the same players will be making their travel plans to play in the reasonably priced tournaments in some of the most beautiful cities in the Asia Pacific part of the world, though there will be new faces as well. Everyone is welcome to participate and take their shots at APPT and global poker stardom.

The full 2009 schedule is as follows:

  • Grand Lisboa Casino, Macau, China - 40,000 HKD buy-in ($5,160)    August 24-30
  • 7-Luck Casino, Seoul, South Korea - unknown KRW ($3,000)        September 17-20
  • Skycity Casino, Auckland, New Zealand - 3,250 NZD ($2,100)        October 14-18
  • Shangri-la Mactan Resort, Cebu, Philippines - 100,000 PHP ($2,150)    November 12-15
  • Star City Casino, Sydney, Australia - 6,300 AUD ($4,920)        December 1-6
