Let the games begin! Okada Manila opens its doors today, July 23, for the 16th edition of the Asia Pacific Poker Tour, set to take place at the stunning Cove Manila. Igniting the action is the Okada Kickoff, a staple in the annual APPT Manila lineup. This is a perfect way to warm up and build up a bankroll with a guaranteed ₱3,000,000 (~USD 52,500) prize pool offered. To enter, buy-in is ₱16,500 (~USD 300).

There will be three flights running today with Flight A setting the pace starting at 1pm. This is followed by Flight B at 5pm, then Flight C (Turbo) at 9pm. The first two flights will see blinds escalate every 25 minutes and the turbo at a faster 15 minutes.

Starting stack is 30,000 which is equivalent to 150 big blinds at the opening round. Registration closes at the end of Level 10. The absolute latest to jump in this event is at 23:50.
