The Asian Poker Tour (APT) has announced four major stops for 2027, with two in Taipei and two on Jeju Island, South Korea. APT Jeju Classic 2027 opens the season in January, while APT Championship 2027 closes it in Taipei in November.
Taipei to Host Two APT Festivals
APT Taipei 2027 runs from April 21 to May 3, spanning 13 days. Taiwan previously hosted the largest non-Championship festival in APT history.
Taipei will also host APT Championship 2027 from November 12 to 28. The 17-day festival features the APT Championship Main Event Freezeout with a USD 10,000 buy-in. Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel dubbed the Main Event “the Asian Main Event.”
The Championship will also feature APT Lion Trophy events.
