The event is expected to last two weeks, from <strong>February 1 through February 11<\/strong>. With news so exciting, it\u2019s worth mentioning that the APT will offer a new format, which will not award cash to winners. <\/p>\n<p>Instead of receiving money outright, however, winners will be vying for packages that will allow them to enter the <strong>APT Philippines<\/strong>, which will hit a little later in 2019, from April through May. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With an already packed 2019 schedule, the Asian Poker Tour has also set its sights on the Land of the Rising Sun \u2013 APT Tokyo, Japan 2019!<\/p>\n<p>The event will take place at Casino Stadium Tokyo on February 1-11, 2019!<\/p>\n<p>Full event schedule: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fZ5qGWNrbn\">https:\/\/t.co\/fZ5qGWNrbn<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/APTTokyo2019?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#APTTokyo2019<\/a> \ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf5\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nrCI6utZHj\">pic.twitter.com\/nrCI6utZHj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Asian Poker Tour (@AsianPokerTour) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AsianPokerTour\/status\/1053180373830496256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 19, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the individual who manages to top the APT Tokyo\u2019s Main Event will get a quick package to the APT Philippines Main along with other goodies, including the Championship Event and High Rollers leg of the race access.

With APT\u2019s popularity surging across Asia, it\u2019s understandable why the next stop for the event is clearly Japan. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"schedule-and-spreading-the-world\">Schedule and Spreading the World<\/h2>\n<p>The recently concluded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theasianpokertour.com\/apt-events\/apt-vietnam-championships-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vietnam leg of the APT<\/a> was a success and it dished out just shy of $258,000 in guarantee prize money.
