APT Manila Satellite: Dominate Poker in The Philippines and Earn a $50,000 Bonus
After a two-year hiatus, the Asian Poker Tour (APT) is making its highly anticipated return to the vibrant city of Manila, Philippines.
Set to take place from 28th October to 7th November 2024, APT Manila promises to be an unmissable event with a jaw-dropping PHP 170 million (~USD 3 million) in guaranteed prize pools across various tournaments.
You can join the action now on the APT Manila Satellites online on Natural8 from 29th September to 27th October 2024, where exclusive events are being held for a shot at winning a seat to the APT Manila Main Event.
Online Satellites on Natural8: Your Fast Track to APT Glory
Imagine this: You’re seated at your favorite spot, playing a Natural8 satellite tournament, and with just a few well-played hands, you’ve secured yourself a seat at the APT Manila Main Event. Thanks to Mega Satellites, OnLive Day 1s, and direct online buy-ins, your path to the Main Event has never been easier.
Here’s the kicker: If you win your Main Event seat via a Natural8 satellite and manage to claim victory in the Main Event itself, you’ll not only take home the prize pool but also an additional $50,000! That’s right—$50,000 on top of your winnings, simply for qualifying online. It’s the perfect blend of online convenience and live poker excitement.
Target Stack Satellites: The Easiest Way to Qualify
For players looking for an innovative way to qualify, the Target Stack Satellites are an absolute must-try. These satellites offer one of the fastest ways to claim your seat at APT Manila.
Here’s how it works: You don’t need to play through an entire satellite event to win your seat.

No need to grind until the final hand, just hit the target, and you’re in!
This quick and efficient format ensures that you spend less time playing qualifiers and more time preparing for the big stage in Manila.
