The Asian Poker Tour (APT) has achieved an exciting milestone with the APT Manila 2024 festival, now recognized as the largest and richest poker series ever held in the Philippines. Over 11 action-packed days at the stunning City of Dreams Manila, the festival attracted a remarkable 8,102 entries from 1,321 unique players across 53 countries. This year's event generated a jaw-dropping total prize pool of PHP 349,691,602 (around USD 5,944,757), showcasing just how popular poker has become in the region.

The highlight of the festival was the PHP 85,000 APT Main Event, which not only drew a significant number of participants but also boasted a nine-figure prize pool (seven in USD). Other standout events included the Philippines National Cup, the Mystery Bounty Hunter, the Zodiac Classic, the Double Stack, the Mini Main Event, and the APT High Roller, all of which set new records for both entries and prize pools.
