World Poker Tour (WPT) is gearing up to light up Taiwan’s capital with the exhilarating WPT Prime Taiwan from August 8 to 21. Taiwan’s state-of-the-art Asia Poker Arena, boasting 50 poker tables, is set to host the series. With an expectation of a high turnout, the venue is ready to break new records.
Adam Pliska, the CEO of WPT, shared his enthusiasm stating, “With the help of the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association, we are presenting our first-ever one-million-dollar guarantee in Asia. WPT Prime continues to hit milestone numbers this season, so we are eager to witness the turnout in Taiwan.”
WPT Prime Taiwan has filled the schedule with an assortment of poker events. This includes the intriguing Mystery Bounty event and the Supersonic NLHE/Liar’s Dice event. There are also a myriad of satellites for players eyeing bigger tournaments.
The highlight of the poker festival is the WPT Prime Taiwan Main Event, with a buy-in of TWD 33,000 and a guaranteed prize pool of USD $1,000,000.
The Main Event kicks off on August 17 with three initial flights. The survivors from these rounds will then gather for Day 2 on August 20. The final day, August 21, will see the crowning of the champion.
This year marks the second edition of the WPT Prime Taiwan, with the inaugural event taking place in November 2022. Marc Inizan of France clinched the title during this event, taking home TWD 4,326,600, equivalent to $138,851 USD.
The inaugural event attracted 877 participants, creating a prize pool of $808,623 USD. This year, with a guaranteed seven-figure USD prize pool, the event is poised to shatter last year’s record.
