The main event, which will run from November 10-13, has a $1,500 buy-in and a $400K guarantee. There will also be a Super High Roller event with a $10K buy-in. The lead-off event is a $300 tournament with a $50K guarantee. To close everything out, the Flutter-owned company will hold a Cambodia Players Party on November 12 at NagaWorld’s Arena Sports Bar. The series will begin on November 3 and wrap up on November 13. PokerStars will give it a try, adding five events to the APPT. The World Poker Tour has been there a few times and has seen a decent response, but nothing extraordinary. There’s not much precedent for poker tournaments in Cambodia, which is a way of saying there’s no easy way to gauge the success of the upcoming series. At the same time, Cambodia is facing scrutiny on the international stage for its inability to control illegal casinos and human trafficking.

NagaWorld will host the events, despite still dealing with a strike of some of its employees. The timing may seem a little odd to some people. After a successful run around the APAC region, PokerStars now wants to try its hand in Cambodia.

PokerStars and the APPT invaded the Philippines this year, running a series of tournaments at Okada Manila. The poker tournament is going to Cambodia for the first time. Lung Wai Tai celebrates his win during the PokerStars APPT stop in the Philippines. For the first time, it’s on its way to Cambodia, where NagaWorld will host a few tournaments next month. The Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) is in full swing after missing a year, and the PokerStars-led series is adding a new stop. Asia Pacific Gaming, Gaming Business, Global Gaming.
