APT Taipei 2025 Features New Venue and Expanded Poker Schedule

APT Taipei 2025 is set to bring one of the largest poker festivals to Taiwan, running from April 25 to May 4 at Red Space. Sponsored by Natural8, the series promises an extensive lineup of 126 events and a total guaranteed prize pool exceeding TWD 126 million (~USD 5.4 million).

The Main Event remains the biggest draw, with a TWD 55,000 (~USD 1,680) buy-in and a TWD 70 million (~USD 2.1 million) guarantee. Following record-breaking numbers in Manila earlier this year, expectations are high for Taipei to deliver another massive turnout.

New Venue, More Tables, and Expanded High-Stakes Action

APT Taipei 2025 moves to Red Space, a new venue designed to accommodate a growing poker crowd. The festival’s expanded structure includes over 100 tables, offering more flexibility for high-stakes action and mixed-game tournaments.

The high-roller lineup sees major additions, with tournaments like the Superstar Challenge, Baby Superstar, and APT Super High Roller running alongside three newly introduced high-roller events in Pot-Limit Omaha, 9-Game, and a Women’s High Roller.

Women’s Poker Events Grow After APT Manila Success

Following the introduction of daily Women’s Events at APT Manila, Taipei will feature a similar schedule. The Women’s Main Event, with a TWD 20,000 (~USD 610) buy-in, provides a pathway to the Women’s Championship Event in November, where the winner will claim a seat worth TWD 35,000 (~USD 1,068).

A Wider Variety of Mixed Games and Specialty Formats

The festival will cater to mixed-game players with 38 events, including new formats like Stairway to Seven, Cry Me A River, Archie, and Drawmaha 2-7. The Masters Event series will introduce Dealer’s Choice, allowing players to pick from multiple game types. Pot-Limit Omaha and Big-O will now feature Double Board Bomb Pot formats, adding variety for players who enjoy non-traditional formats.
