The Asian Poker Tour (APT) Taipei 2024 festival has wrapped up and it is safe to say it surpassed all expectations. APT Taipei boasted over 100 trophy events, making it one of the busiest schedules in the tour’s long and illustrious history, but it is the prize money awarded in some of those events that make APT Taipei 2024 extra special.

Eleven events broke APT and country records, including the Main Event, which raised the bar in terms of the total prize pool and the first-place prize awarded in Taiwan. The TWD 70,000 (US$2,270) buy-in Main Event drew in 737 unique players who purchased 445 re-entries between them, taking the total attendance to 1,182.
