APT Tour Director Lloyd Fantillas, who will host the event, was quoted in the official release saying, “The APT is obviously proud to be ensuring its popular and trusted protocol is followed at the Manny Pacquiao World Poker Event. I’m sure it will be a pleasure working with such a respected personality as Manny and we’re looking forward to seeing a large turnout come December 7.”
Pacquiao is apparently no stranger to poker, as many have spotted him playing $25/$50 cash games and higher at Los Angeles’s Commerce Casino.
