A Seoul poker event has started

A host of poker players from the Asia-Pacific region are in action at the moment, as the Seoul Festival of Poker is underway in South Korea.

The city's Paradise Walkerhill Casino is hosting the run of poker tournaments and contests, which includes the prestigious Main Event, reports Poker Network.

Some 268 players signed up for the Main Event in 2012 and organisers hope this year's will be at least equally well attended.

Seoul Festival of Poker began yesterday (March 12th) with the NL Hold'em Deepstack 2-days event, and it will come to a conclusion on Sunday when the High Roller Event takes place.

Other tournaments due to be held over the course of the coming days include the NL Hold'em Teams Event and the NL Hold'em 6-max.

Last year, the Main Event was won by Andrew Kim of the US, although poker players from Panama, Japan and Hong Kong also made the final ten.
