The All Japan Poker Championship (AJPC) has announced the newest stop on its Asian tour circuit with Saipan’s Imperial Pacific Resort to host its first ever poker tournament from 13 to 17 February 2019.
The addition of a Saipan event comes after AJPC launched events in Korea and Taiwan last year, with the organization set to add more tournament series in other Southeast Asian locations in the coming months.
“The AJPC Asian Circuit is the organizer of Japan’s first international poker event,” said AJPC Chairman Sasaki Yasuhiro. “The circuit has been a success as well as the first in Japan to hold an international event in Taiwan.
“Now, in 2019, we aim to hold the AJPC Asian Circuit in Saipan for the first Japan-based tournament to be held on the island. We will continue to build our brand through launching tournaments in new and exciting destinations.”
The new Saipan series will include a US$2,000 buy-in main event as well as various side events and cash games.
