New WPT Global Asia Super High Roller Puts ¥800K Up Every Sunday

Canadian poker players following the international online schedule have a new high-stakes Sunday tournament to keep an eye on.

WPT Global has launched the Asia Super High Roller Championship, a weekly ¥5,300 event carrying ¥800,000 guaranteed and at least ¥200,000 for first place.

The tournament starts every Sunday at 12:05 UTC and combines a 200-big-blind opening stack with a qualifying network that runs throughout the week.

The direct entry is substantial, but WPT Global has attached several satellite ladders. The main qualifying paths currently include:

• ¥11 → ¥110 Mega Satellite
• ¥30 → ¥288 Satellite
• ¥55 → ¥550 Mega Satellite

Regular satellites generally guarantee one ¥5,300 seat. Mega Satellites guarantee at least two.

The Super High Roller follows a busy summer for WPT Global's Asian schedule. The WPT Asia Series: Overdrive ran from July 19 through August 30 with more than ¥200 million in guarantees and 13 WPT Ring events.

The new championship takes one part of that approach and turns it into a recurring tournament. There is no six-week leaderboard or festival schedule attached this time. Instead, the ¥800,000 guarantee returns each Sunday.
