Since a long time, Vietnam has been recognized as an attractive poker destination for many Asian players; this growth is largely due to the Asian Poker Tour that introduced its event in Vietnam. These players have demonstrated their talents in the international arena, turning Vietnam into a destination for competitive poker tournaments. For reasons ranging from gaining experience against world-class talent to increasing one’s name recognition, many Asian poker players turn to the APT as a way of dominating their localized poker scene. This has inspired many more would-be Asian poker players in Vietnam. The growth of local poker communities has also benefited the tournament, with thousands of new players joining to enjoy and play poker every day. As the Asian poker players in Vietnam receive recognition and support, they are becoming forces in the Asian poker scene. And on a final note, the Asian Poker Tour goes on where it was made to be, growing the Asian poker scene and expanding not just in places all over Asia but especially in its name country Vietnam.
