By joining forces with the Chinese Texas Hold\u2019em Poker Club (CTP), the tour ensures that local players and international travelers alike will get the best possible experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Main Event Structure<\/h2>\n<p>The headline tournament is designed to balance excitement with player-friendly value. The buy-in is set at TWD $22,000 (~USD $720) with a TWD $10M guarantee. Day 1 flights play down until only 15% of the field remains. Everyone reaching Day 2 is already in the money, with a minimum payout of TWD $40,000. That\u2019s double the entry fee, which adds an extra layer of comfort for players taking their shot.<\/p>\n<h3>Main Event Key Dates (GMT+8)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Day 1A \u2013 Dec 19 at 12:00<\/li>\n<li>Day 1B \u2013 Dec 19 at 17:30<\/li>\n<li>Day 1C \u2013 Dec 20 at 12:00<\/li>\n<li>Day 1D \u2013 Dec 20 at 17:30<\/li>\n<li>Day 2 \u2013 Dec 21 at 12:00<\/li>\n<li>Final Day \u2013 Dec 22 at 12:00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Festival Lineup<\/h2>\n<p>The series doesn\u2019t stop with the Main Event.
