APT Taipei

The Asian Poker Tour (APT), in partnership with Natural8, is back in Taipei with what promises to be its most spectacular festival yet. The APT Taipei Poker Classic 2024, running from September 27 to October 7, is set to outshine all previous events.

Held across two premier venues—the CTP Asia Poker Arena (APA), Asia’s largest permanent poker room, and the Chinese Mahjong League (CML)—the event promises a world-class poker experience for players of all levels.

After the tour's record-breaking success in Taipei earlier this year, the stakes have been raised even higher. The upcoming APT Taipei Poker Classic, which features 108 trophy events, is not just bigger—it’s better in every way.

The festival looks poised to set a new benchmark in the Asian poker scene and has set itself some lofty targets. A staggering TWD $150 million (~$4.6 million USD) is guaranteed across the 11-day poker fiesta.
