There is a new weekly tournament at WPT Global that has set tongues wagging in the online poker community. Every Sunday at 12:05 p.m. UTC, the WPT Asia Super High Roller Championship bursts into action and sees players from far and wide compete for the largest share of a ¥1,000,000 (approx. $150,000) guaranteed prize pool.
Entry into the WPT Asia Super High Roller costs ¥5,300 (approx. $790) unless you win your way into the high stakes arena via one of the many satellites running around the clock.
Regardless of whether you buy in directly or win your way in, you will start your quest for Super High Roller glory armed with a 100,000 starting stack. Blinds start at 250/500/60a, giving you 200 big blinds to build from, increasing every 15 minutes. Late registration remains open until the end of Level 16, approximately 4.5 hours into proceedings.

The WPT Asia Super High Roller Championship guarantees that at least ¥200,000 (approx. $30,000) of the ¥1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool goes to the eventual champion. Finishing top of the pile also comes with a personalized trophy to commemorate your victory!
WPT Global has created three satellite trees so that as many of its valued customers as possible can experience this high-stakes event.
The cheapest route into this Super High Roller starts with a ¥11 satellite, which feeds into the ¥110 satellite where the ¥5,300 seats await.
Slightly more expensive is the route that goes from ¥30 to ¥288 satellites, then into the ¥5,300 event. The third and final option you have available is ¥55 into ¥550 and then the target tournament itself.
You can buy into the satellites at any stage you wish, from ¥11 to ¥550, depending on the size of your bankroll.
