Nagaworld to Host Asia Pacific Poker Tour in Cambodia
PokerStars Takes the Asia Pacific Poker Tour to Cambodia for the First Time
Posted on: October 13, 2022, 12:32h.
Erik Gibbs
The Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) is in full swing after missing a year, and the PokerStars-led series is adding a new stop. For the first time, it’s on its way to Cambodia, where NagaWorld will host a few tournaments next month.
PokerStars and the APPT invaded the Philippines this year, running a series of tournaments at Okada Manila. After a successful run around the APAC region, PokerStars now wants to try its hand in Cambodia.
The timing may seem a little odd to some people. NagaWorld will host the events, despite still dealing with a strike of some of its employees. At the same time, Cambodia is facing scrutiny on the international stage for its inability to control illegal casinos and human trafficking.
Testing the Cambodian Waters
There’s not much precedent for poker tournaments in Cambodia, which is a way of saying there’s no easy way to gauge the success of the upcoming series. The World Poker Tour has been there a few times and has seen a decent response, but nothing extraordinary.

Re: Nagaworld to Host Asia Pacific Poker Tour in Cambodia
UPDATE
Alexander Puchalski Wins the 2022 APPT Cambodia $1,500 Main Event ($96,028)
November 14, 2022
After seven hours of play in the opulent Grand Ballroom of the award-winning integrated NagaWorld Resort in Phnom Penh, a winner has been crowned in the first ever PokerStars Asia-Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) $1,500 Main Event in the Kingdom of Cambodia. Out of a field of 378 entries, it was Alexander Puchalski who took home the biggest portion of the $494,991 prize pool when he came out on top of a short-lived heads-up duel with Akshay Kapoor.
The Canadian has been playing poker for eight years, where he mainly focuses on cash games. He is currently based in Thailand, like many other poker enthusiasts from all over the world, and made the short trip over to Cambodia, a decision that has certainly paid off. For his efforts, the 27-year-old Ontario-born Puchalski takes home the top prize of $96,028 and the golden shard trophy.
This marks the conclusion of the second PokerStars APPT stop in 2022, and the global online poker brand will now shift the focus to the European continent with regional tours and the upcoming EPT Prague festival in December 2022 on the horizon.
