Catching Up on Latest Australian Poker Tour Results

The Australian Poker Tour’s fifth season has been on fire since the start of the year. Poker players have been excited to come to the live tables and play the APT series events.

The season kicked off with APT Brisbane at Eatons Hill. APT organizers had estimated prize pools totaling $1.8M, but the total fell a bit short when they awarded $1,522,780. That money came from 4,819 total entries across 28 events.

Let’s see what happened since then.
