WPT Global has introduced a new weekly tournament, the Asia Super High Roller, with a guaranteed prize pool of ¥1,000,000. The event brings together the best players from around the world every Sunday.

A new weekly tournament has launched in the online poker world, already attracting the attention of high-stakes fans. WPT Global has announced the launch of the WPT Asia Super High Roller Championship — an event with a guaranteed prize pool of ¥1,000,000 (approximately $150,000). The tournament takes place every Sunday at 12:05 UTC, bringing together players from around the world at the virtual tables, all ready to compete for impressive prizes and the champion’s title. Format of the WPT Asia Super High Roller Championship The WPT Asia Super High Roller Championship is a weekly online tournament held on the WPT Global platform. The buy-in is ¥5,300 (about $790), but you can also qualify through numerous satellites running around the clock. Every participant, regardless of how they enter the tournament, receives a starting stack of 100,000 chips . The blinds start at 250/500 with a 60 ante, giving players 200 big blinds for comfortable play and strategic maneuvering. Blinds increase every 15 minutes, ensuring a dynamic but not overly fast pace. Late registration is open until the end of level 16, which is about 4.5 hours from the start of the tournament. This allows players to join the action even after the tournament has begun, keeping their chances of making the money alive. Prize Pool Structure and Rewards The tournament’s total guaranteed prize pool is ¥1,000,000 . Of this amount, at least ¥200,000 (about $30,000) is guaranteed for the winner. In addition to the cash prize, the champion receives a personalized trophy, which will serve as a memorable symbol of victory in one of Asia’s most prestigious online tournaments. Prizes are distributed among the top finishers according to the tournament payout structure and the number of entrants. The exact payout structure depends on the total number of registrations, but the organizers guarantee that the top prize will always be substantial. Satellites: High Roller Access for Everyone To make participation in such a major event accessible to as many players as possible, WPT Global has developed three satellite paths with different buy-in levels: First path: starts with a satellite for ¥11 , leading to a tournament for ¥110 . Winners of this stage receive a ticket to the main tournament for ¥5,300 . Second path: starts with a ¥30 buy-in, then goes through a satellite for ¥288 , also offering a chance to win a seat in the main event. Third path: starts with a satellite for ¥55 , followed by a tournament for ¥550 , after which winners gain entry to the Super High Roller. Players can join satellites at any stage, choosing a buy-in that fits their bankroll — from ¥11 to ¥550 . This approach allows even players with a limited budget to try for a spot in the elite tournament and compete for six-figure prizes.
