The virtual felts across the world are brimming with action. The inaugural Asian Poker Tour (APT) 2020 Online Series at GGNetwork’s Natural8.com is attracting players from Asia and beyond. Over 35 tournaments have concluded so far. Headlining the schedule yesterday was the APT Online Main Event that crowned a winner in Singapore’s Alex Wei Xiang Lee, who walked away with $91,353 in prize money.
The $200,000 GTD Main Event of the marquee online tournament series was the star attraction. Running between 3 – 5 May, it featured 5 starting flights. Day 1E of the event pulled in a total of 279 entries out of which only 95 could progress along with the 320 qualified players from other flights. The total field of the mega event created a juicy prize pool of $578,075 and 170 made money.
It took around five hours for the eventual champion to emerge. After ‘Kryptonite8899’ going out in the third place, Alex Wei Xiang Lee aka ‘DblBarrel’ entered the heads-up with 3:5:1 ahead of his opponent ‘Olekonjole’. While the latter managed to double-up once, Lee continued his dominance. Eventually, it was all over with Lee shipping it with Ks Qh out drawing Ad 3s. Lee earned the APT Guardian Trophy and also earned enough points to grab second spot on the APT Player of the Series leaderboard. The newest champion is 4th in Singapore’s all-time money list with $990k in live cashes.
