The Asian Poker Tour (APT) returns to Manila in the Philippines in late October for the first time in two years. The luxurious City of Dreams Manila resort will host the APT Manila festival which runs from October 28 through November 7.

APT, in partnership with Soul Poker, has created an exciting schedule with combined guarantees of over PHP170,000,000, the equivalent of $3 million. A significant chunk of that impressive sum is reserved for the APT Manila Main Event, a PHP85,000 ($1,500) buy-in affair boasting a PHP100 million guaranteed ($1.7 million).

The APT Manila schedule boasts 109 events and satellites, including 22 High Roller tournaments, 21 mixed games, and 20 Omaha events, meaning there’s something for everyone heading to the Philippines.

Aside from the massive APT Manila Main Event, the Superstars Challenge is the most eagerly anticipated tournament on the bustling schedule. While the PHP1,500,000 ($25,800) buy-in event does not carry a guarantee in its prize pool, its field should be packed with some of the best poker talent that game has to offer.

The last time the APT ran a Superstars Challenge was at the 2024 edition of APT Jeju. Some 36 entries were processed, and a prize pool worth $735,623 was created. Joseph Cheong was the man who emerged victoriously from the battle, doing so with the equivalent of $272,186 to show for his efforts.

Stay tuned to PokerNews in the run-up to the APT Manila 2024 festival. We will bring you a detailed guide of where to stay, eat, and party in the capital of the Philippines, plus all the news from this incredible series.

Times Running Out to Win Your Way into the IPT Killarney Main Event

The Irish Poker Tour Killarney Festival runs from September 24 through September 29, meaning time is rapidly running out if you plan to win your way into the €400,000 guaranteed Irish Poker Cup online at Paddy Power Poker. Paddy Power Poker has been a long-time partner of the Irish Poker Tour, so it makes sense for online satellites to run there. However, a quick glance at the Paddy Power Poker tournament lobby reveals that the seat-only satellites end on September 14, with the final package-awarding satellites stopping on September 15. Eight IPT Killarney Packages Guaranteed on September 15 Your best chance of getting your hands on a €1,500 Irish Poker Tour Killarney package is via the €100 buy-in satellite at 8:00 p.m. GMT on September 15. Paddy Power Poker guarantees at least eight packages, worth a combined €12,000, will be won. Each package contains: If you find the €100 buy-in a little steep, other satellites from €1 are available. The €1 satellites award tickets to the €10 buy-in satellites, which then feed into this €100 buy-in affair. Whether you win a package or capture a €700 ticket in the seat-only satellites, you’re automatically entered into Paddy Power Poker’s Sole Survivor promotion. Be the last Paddy Power Poker qualifier in the €400,000 guaranteed Irish Poker Cup in Killarney, and you’ll receive a €10,000 prize on top of any prize money you win from the tournament itself. Last Chance to Qualify Comes With a €5,000 Freeroll Your very last chance to qualify online comes in the popular Twitch IPT Killarney tournament at 8:30 p.m. GMT on September 17. Paddy Power Poker ambassador Conor O’Driscoll hosts this game and streams the action on his popular Twitch channel. The buy-in is €50 and the tournament guarantees the winner will bank a €1,500 Irish Poker Tour Killarney package thanks to Paddy Power Poker adding €1,000 to the prize pool. Additionally, if you win this package, you’ll receive an invite to a €5,000 Twitch Invitational Freeroll during the live festival. 2024 Irish Poker Tour Killarney Schedule The 2024 edition of the Irish Poker Tour Killarney festival is the biggest yet, with total guarantees increasing from €500,000 to over €700,000. Last year’s Irish Poker Cup, the name given to the stop’s Main Event, was a €600 buy-in affair guaranteeing €300,000. However, 848 entrants created a €441,893 prize pool, with champion Jamie Flynn taking home €70,000 after a heads-up deal with Niall McAree (€63,000). This time around, the Irish Poker Cup has a slightly larger €700 buy-in, but its guarantee has soared to €400,000, with €10,000 added by Paddy Power Poker, so expect even bigger prizes this time around.
