The prize pool for APT Taipei 2025 has skyrocketed to an astounding TWD 121,033,440 – almost double that of APT Taipei 2023, which set the bar two years ago with a prize pool of TWD 62,594,100.

This dramatic increase not only highlights the success of the event but also demonstrates the growing appeal of poker tournaments in Asia. With each successive year, APT's prescence in Taipei has delivered ever-larger guarantees and even bigger field numbers, culminating in this series' largest and richest Main Event in APT's 19-year history.

Additionally, the guaranteed prize pools (GTD) have also experienced consistent growth. For instance, APT Taipei 2023 had a GTD prize pool of TWD 30,000,000, APT Taipei 2024 and the Taipei Poker Classic 2024 saw a GTD prize pool of TWD 65,000,000. The APT Taipei 2025 took it even further with a GTD prize pool of TWD 70,000,000, continuing the upward trajectory.

The increasing prize money demonstrates the trust players have in the APT’s ability to deliver top-tier events, and the Taipei stop remains a highlight on the poker calendar.

With an upward trajectory in prize money and participation, the APT Taipei Main Event looks poised for even greater achievements in the future, strengthening its reputation as a premier destination for poker. With the APT Championship Series coming this November, one question remains — will the records be broken yet again?
