Manila’s Newport World Resorts will host the penultimate event on the Asian Poker Tour’s 2022 calendar this month with a hefty 13-day schedule planned for the venue’s Newport Grand Wing gaming area.
This will be the fourth and final APT event to be held at Newport World Resorts in 2022 and the second last event of the APT season, with the final leg to be held in Da Nang, Vietnam in December.
APT Philippines will run from 15 to 27 November and feature 41 events, including the Main Event from 17 to 22 November with a Php15 million (US$258,000) guaranteed prize pool.
Hakan Dagtas, Chief Operating Officer of Newport World Resorts, said, “We once again express our gratitude to the APT for choosing our pioneering integrated resort to be the home for their events in Manila.
“Our doors are always open to hosting these prestigious events as we commit to becoming a mecca of poker in Asia.”
Newport World Resorts recently announced its change of name from Resorts World Manila – part of its planned separation from Genting Hong Kong.
The IR has also launched a new rewards program, Epic Rewards, linking members to various lifestyle and retail partners depending on their membership level.
