Asian Poker Tour Philippines Caters to the Growing Demographic of Women's Poker | Woman Poker Player Magazine

Asian Poker Tour Philippines Adds Ladies Event

Tuesday, 11 January 2011 09:13

The Asian Poker experience continues in 2011 with APT Philippines on
the agenda from Monday March 28th through to Sunday April 3rd.

A ladies event and a team event has been included on the schedule.

Ladies are not often catered for on tours and the APT heard the voices
of many women wanting to play in ladies only events and added one as
part of their schedule. The event will be held 4:00PM on the 30th
March 2011. It is called The Ladies of Poker (Event #4) and is a
US$100 + US$10.

The side events including the womens only event are now 30 min levels
(except for turbo’s and ME satellites) with larger starting stacks and
what I consider the best structures possible. This is fantastic for
the ladies of poker, they can have a real game at the tables, no short
blind levels and no short starting stacks. The minimum age is 21 years
old.

The event will be held at Resorts World Manila - Pasay Philppines and
there is an extra special bonus for those wanting the ultimate poker
getaway. The Hotel Marriott is located next to Resorts World, at $135
per night (special APT rate). Certainly accommodation that will not
break your budget!

Many attractions have been indicated for the APT’s woman poker players
when they are not on the felt which are as follows:

Tubbataha Reef, Palawan (Some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the
world), Mt. Pinatubo (Beautiful forrests with day tours available and
many activities), Subterranean River in Puerto Princesa, Palawan (A
spectacular under ground river that is possibly one of the 7 wonders
of the world!).

The fun times do not end here, there are many other attractions and
culture to see as well as shopping and bars.
