New Dates for APT Asian Series Cambodia 2015 Announced

Sihanoukville, Cambodia, March 17, 2015 – APT Asian Poker Series Cambodia 2015 is now set to take place from October 20th to 28th 2015 at the Queenco Hotel & Casino in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

Making the announcement this weekend at the launch party of the new Poker@QueenCo, Queenco Hotel and Casino’s General Manager Aharon Aagini said that he was delighted that a vacant spot in the very congested 2015 APT calendar had been secured.

“Our first APT event last year was a success and we were very disappointed that the planned May event needed to be cancelled through reasons beyond our control. I am delighted therefore that APT Cambodia will now be here in October,” said Aagini.

Mr. AJ Brock, the owner and operator of Poker@QueenCo plans to continue the relationship with the Asian Poker Tour and to bringing a world-class poker experience back to Cambodia. He remarked, “I was introduced to the Cambodia poker scene a little over a year ago. In that year, I was very pleased to see APT having such success. I am very excited to take over Poker@QueenCo and hope to see poker in the region flourish. I was very disappointed when we had to cancel the May APT event, but now October can’t come soon enough. Sihanoukville is a perfect destination for an APT event and this year will be better than ever!”
