Fred Leung and his team at the Asian Poker Tour are finishing up a record-breaking run in Incheon, South Korea.

Over 10 days, they hosted 106 events, handed out their iconic Lion trophies, and set new entry records, all while trying to create the most player-friendly experience around.

Leung credits their success to careful planning but admits that competition is at an all-time high. “I’ve never seen so much competition and so many countries and tours active,” he says. Despite this, the APT is thriving, with their Main Event recently becoming the largest international poker tournament ever held in Incheon.

For players, the APT promises variety and a welcoming atmosphere, whether you’re in it for the $10K High Roller or a low-stakes home game. According to Leung, the boom is already here, but keeping ahead of the pack is harder than ever.
