PokerStars’ second round of the Asia Pacific Poker Tour will kick off Sept. 1 with a laundry list of champions along with more than 500 participants.
The poker star-studded lineup for the Macau event includes Johnny Chan, Joe Hachem, Scotty Nguyen, Men “The Master” Nguyen, Liz Lieu, JJ Liu, Isabelle Mercier, Elky and Barry Greenstein.
“It’s bringing in top players like myself and letting the world know that there is real poker here, and real poker players here, and that anybody can win millions of dollars,” Mr. Chan said about the poker tour in a prepared statement.
Additionally, Jeffrey Haas, president of the tour, said he expects regional participation to at least double this year.
