WPT Asia Series 2026

For the next four weeks, the virtual felt will be the site of a high-intensity battle for the inaugural WPT Asia Series. Starting February 15, the series offers a massive ¥100,000,000 (~$15 Million) guarantee. 


What makes this series particularly attractive for grinders is the structured progression of buy-ins and guarantees, allowing players to build a bankroll through daily phases before taking a shot at the nine WPT Rings available throughout the festival.

The Sunday Majors: Main Event Focus

The "Mystery Millions" format dominates the Sunday schedule, at least as far as the Main Events go. Each Sunday there will be one main event with massive prize pools and entry fees that rarely exceed $100 USD.

Sunday Ring Championships

Each Sunday features a marquee Ring event, with the prestige (and the buy-in) increasing each week.

  • Feb 15: Ring Open Championship (¥188 Buy-in / ¥1M GTD)

  • Feb 22: Ring Mystery Bounty Main Event (¥188 Buy-in / ¥1M GTD)

  • Mar 01: Ring Bounty Championship (¥388 Buy-in / ¥2M GTD)

  • Mar 08: Ring Mystery Championship (¥388 Buy-in / ¥2M GTD)

  • Mar 15: Ring NLHE Championship (¥880 Buy-in / ¥3M GTD)

Leaderboard Strategy: Quality Over Quantity

The ¥3,000,000 Player of the Series Leaderboard is a test of efficiency. With 2,500 places paid and a ¥1,000,000 top prize, players are encouraged to be selective, as only their top 10 scoring days are tallied. 

The action begins early with Million Boost Week (Feb 13-17), which provides ¥10M in guarantees across low-stakes daily tournaments (¥33-99).
