The World Poker Tour (WPT) is looking to drum up business around Asia and India. The poker organization is planning a new tournament in Vietnam in September and then will make its way to India for its second WPT India tour in November. Both events are expected to provide huge payouts to both poker players and tournament organizers.

The WPT will take a 20-day trip through Asia with the help of a newly announced tournament in Vietnam. The event, WPT Vietnam, will be hosted by Ho Chi Minh’s Pro Poker Club and is scheduled to kick off on September 26. It will include a number of tournaments, including a $500 WPT Pro Poker Club Superstack Classic and a $1,000 Main Event.

Danny McDonagh, WPT Live Events Specialist, describes the event as a massive opportunity to satisfy the area’s “tremendous appetite for poker.” The WPT Vietnam will be preceded by a trip to Japan September 15 – 17 and another to South Korea from September 18 – 21. That trip will see the WPT Korea held at the country’s Paradise City Casino September 19 – 21 and will offer a normal lineup with an additional $5,000 team event thrown into the mix.

The team event features a maximum of 16 teams, each with four players. Players will battle it out in six NLHE and Omaha tournaments, with the winning team being awarded four seats at the WPT Korea Main Event. Several teams, including ones from the host country, Singapore, the UK, Australia and the US, have already announced their participation.
