APPT Seoul Crowns a Champ

Filed in archive Tournament News on October 4, 2007

The Asian Pacific Poker Tour sponsored by PokerStars.net rolled to Seoul, South Korea along with 186 runners to via for a top prize of $139,872.

While the names of the contestants and final tablists won't be found running and screaming around the table ala RainKhan as you can view on ESPN's running of the World Series of Poker main event, I'm sure people like final table chip leader Ziv Bachar appreciated they stayed home. Or thought to playing in the European Poker Tour event, or the World Poker Tour event last week.

Are we gluttoned with "(fill-in-the-blank) Poker Tour" yet? Apparently not as the numbers don't lie when all these tourneys are still pulling enough people to award six and seven figure paydays for the champions. While he started as the chip leader, and ended up with all of them, Ziv Bachar is your APPT Seoul Champ.
