Lester Edoc has won his third live poker tournament in 2018, winning the Asian Poker Tour Philippines Championships, and the Asian Poker Tour announces a new stop to take place at the Cocobay Beach Resort.

Asian Poker Tour (APT) will visit the Cocobay Beach Resort for the first time in the tour’s history, GGRAsia revealed over the weekend.

There is presently no schedule, but we know the APT will take over the resort’s poker room between October 3 – 14 where it will carry the sigel of the APT Vietnam Da Nang Championships. It will be the penultimate APT event of the year before the tour moves to Macau for the big finish.

The new event is a collaboration between the APT, Win Poker Club and the Bridge and Poker Association. The APT moved into Vietnam for the first time in January when the Pro Poker Club in Ho Chi Minh City took care of business Jan 19 – 28. German pro, Adrian Esslen defeated 664 entrants in the Main Event to bank $57,718 in prize money.
