The ticket does not provide direct entry to the $10,000 Main Event. It feeds into a $90 Step satellite, followed by a $600 satellite that awards between two and 10 $10,000 Main Event seats.
The target event carries a $5 million guaranteed prize pool and is part of the 2026 APT Championship, which runs Nov. 13-29 at The Red Space Taipei in Taiwan. The festival has $8.1 million guaranteed across 209 events, including 23 Championship Events and 20 women’s events.
The Main Event is a $10,000 freezeout, meaning entrants have one tournament life without rebuys or re-entries. Its 2025 edition drew 671 entries and generated a prize pool of about $6.2 million, above the $5 million guarantee.
The official APT listing schedules Main Event Day 1 for Nov. 23, with a 50,000-chip starting stack.
