The largest and longest festival in Asian Poker Tour history has been launched, with the action-packed 12-day APT Taipei 2024 squeezing in 105 Trophy Events and boasting over TWD150M ($4.8M) in prize pool guarantees.
Running February 28th to March 10th in partnership with the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Club (CTP), the series is playing out over two venues; the CTP Asia Poker Arena – Asia’s largest permanent poker room – and the CML (Chinese Mahjong League) located in central Taipei.
This marks the eighth time the APT has visited the Taiwanese capitol, with Natural8 ambassador Punat Punsri cementing his place in Asian Poker Tour history just over ten months prior during the record-breaking APT Taipei 2023, winning the richest Main Event ever to play out in Taiwan.
The APT Taipei 2024 Main Event boasts double the prize pool guarantee of its predecessor with a sizable TWD 65 million (~USD 2M) guarantee – the largest in the tour’s 17-year history – and the series looks likely to set records once again if the numbers of the opening Flight A of the APT National Cup are anything to go by.
