WPT Asia Super High Roller

WPT Global is adding a major weekly target for high-stakes players with the WPT Asia Super High Roller Championship, running every Sunday at 12:00 UTC.

The tournament features an ¥800,000 guaranteed prize pool (around $119,000), while the winner is guaranteed at least ¥200,000 (around $29,700).

Direct entry costs ¥5,300 (around $790), but players can qualify for a fraction of that price through satellites starting from only ¥11 (around $1.65).

Those low-cost feeders run throughout the week, creating an affordable route into one of WPT Global’s biggest recurring Sunday tournaments.

Mega Hour Keeps the Action Running 

WPT Global is adding more structure and value to its daily tournament schedule with Mega Hour, a new concept built around frequent events, affordable buy-ins and sizeable guarantees.

From 12:00 to 24:00 (UTC+8), at least one qualifying tournament starts every hour. That makes it easy to jump into the action without having to plan an entire session around a single event.

Across Mega Hour, WPT Global puts up ¥500,000 (around $74,300) in daily guarantees, while average buy-ins sit at just ¥30 (around $4.50).

The schedule also mixes up the formats, with regular MTTs, PKOs, Mystery Bounties and more available throughout the day.

Value at Both Ends of the Buy-In Range

Together, the WPT Asia Super High Roller Championship and Mega Hour cover two very different types of players, which is exactly what makes the combination so strong.

High-stakes players get a weekly ¥800,000 (~$119,000) guaranteed target, while smaller bankrolls can qualify through satellites from just ¥11 (~$1.65).

At the same time, Mega Hour delivers constant low-cost action with ¥500,000 (~$74,300) guaranteed every day and average buy-ins of only ¥30 (~$4.50).

That creates value across the full tournament spectrum: cheap entry points, large guarantees, regular schedules and genuine paths into much bigger prizes. For both casual players and serious grinders, WPT Global is giving September plenty of reasons to stay active.
