The PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour has announced a new stop to its Season 5 schedule. From March 7 through 11, the APPT will travel to the Paradise Walkerhill Casino in Seoul, South Korea. Over the course of five days, the APPT will host five events, culminating in a? KRW 3,000,000 (US $2,600) buy-in Main Event.

The APPT has previously visited South Korea on two occasions. In Season 1, Ziv Bachar of Israel emerged victorious over a 186-player field to capture the $139,000 first-place prize. In Sesson 2, Yoshihiro Tasaka won the title and $128,000 prize after navigating a field of 165.

After a two-season hiatus, this year��s tournament is expected to attract a record crowd that will be capped at 250 players. Reaching the cap shouldn't be too difficult because players need to be just 19 years old to play in Seoul.

Here's a look at this year's APPT Seoul schedule:
