This is the first event of its kind to be held in China. This event is scheduled for November 22nd-27th at the Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino in Macau. This is a great step forward for poker across the world, and I am excited to see how this unfolds. Below is a list of important dates:

November 22 – Mega-satellites to the $2,500 Main Event & Opening night party
November 23-25 - $2,500 Main Event
November 26-27 - $15,000 High Rollers Event
Full schedule: Asia Pacific Poker Tour - APPT APPT Macau, People's Republic of China

There are also plenty of satellites running on Poker Stars for APPT Macau packages. So far there are 7 confirmed for the High Rollers Event: Joe Hachem, Isabelle Mercier, Scotty Nguyen, Barry Greenstein, Van Marcus, Liz Lieu and Terrence Chan. They are expecting to have between 40-60 players registered for that tournament, and over 200 for the $2,500 event.

I will be there, and it would be great to meet up with some other PFO guys over in Macau.

just booked my flight, accomodations at the grand waldo are sold out so I just booked my stay at the venetian for the first 3 nights and probably will move to the wynn (or somewhere cheaper, they have yet to email me with an alternative recommendation). I will be flying in from Las vegas to SFO to Hong Kong and will arrive via the ferry on the night of the 21st. Wouldn't mind meeting some people either.

Sounds good. I haven't even booked my room yet...I guess I should get on that soon if the Waldo is already full. I'll let you know once I've booked a room. Are you playing in the ME?

I arrived a few days ago and this city is pretty amazing. Sorry I haven't updated at all but we're having a lot of fun exploring. The action is pretty soft at the tables, and the atmosphere is really friendly. Anyone here? I'll PM you shortly gigahung.
