The Asian Poker Tour canceled its series midway through the main event, leading to concerns about lowering guaranteed prize pools. However, @MMTonyB, in response to the situation, announced that @MGMGrandPoker has reinstated all previously posted guarantees, with Tony returning to his capacity there. This decision was praised by @AllenKessler and @CMONEYMAKER, with the latter expressing support for @MGMGrandPoker and hinting at a @MoneymakerTour stop in 2024.
This is awesome news. Come support @MGMGrandPoker for this nice adjustment. See you in 2024 for a @MoneymakerTour stop I hop.
Update: Great news from @MMTonyB . @MGMGrandPoker reevaluated their decision, and is reinstating all previously posted guarantees. Also, Tony will return in his capacity there. Great job by @ThePokerBoss and anyone else at MGM on doing the right thing! https://t.co/01Gzcd6imr

Asian Poker Tour Cancels Series In Middle Of Main Event: https://t.co/JSBiCWhCDU https://t.co/DlGCI4F4QN
Poker reporters and people ask why @MMTonyB I started the @MoneymakerTour. Well this is one of the primary reasons. This has been a thing for too long. https://t.co/e8miBNM3zw
Props to @MMTonyB . I admire him for his stance on this. Players make plans, travel based on advertised guaranteed prize pools. Lowering guarantees midway through an event due to bad turnout may cost a venue more in goodwill/repeat business than just covering the shortfall.… https://t.co/nCQ350nOqj
