It's an interesting day for low and mid-stakes poker players that comes with a big opportunity on a holiday in Taiwan. The sixth edition of the Gods of Poker live tour at the Asia Poker Arena is bracing for impact as the flagship NT$ 33,000 Main Event only bolsters 145 entries heading into the final two flights on Friday, September 25, 2026. However, nearly 600 total entries are needed to reach the NT$ 17 Million guarantee.
Through three satellites and the Titan Stack Boosted Edition, more than 70 entries will be added to the tally but a significant overlay is still looming and it will likely go down to the wire today.
Flight D is the first one to kick off at 12.30 p.m. local time and features the improved Cronus Structure. Two levels of 60 minutes each are followed by one 120-minute level and when the registration closes at 5 p.m. local time, all entrants at the last minute will enter with 30 big blinds as they receive 120,000 in chips to enter their journey.
Flight E then follows as of 6 p.m. local time with the same four hours of deep-stacked play before the registration for the crown jewel closes at 10.30 p.m. sharp. One minute too late and you will not be able to enter anymore. Getting in early and running up a healthy stack has actually been the key in the first three flights in order to advance to Day 2, but not all of the early front runners reached the top 13.5% of their fields in the three flights so far.
Here is what will get you the most play:
Level 1: 60 minutes at 500-1,000/1,000 (120 bb)
Level 2: 60 minutes at 1,000-2,000/2,000 (60 bb)
Level 3: 120 minutes at 1,5,000-3,000/3,000 (40 bb)
In the penultimate flight, the levels after the late registration last 30 minutes each whereas the final turbo heat then concludes with a 20-minute duration. No matter where both of these heats reach the money, the blinds for Day 2 will roll back to 8,000-16,000/16,000 and 21 players have qualified so far across the three flights.
All 27 players out of 186 entries in the NT$ 11,000 Titan Stack Boosted Edition have locked up a cash prize and Main Event seat to enter the fray later. Bargain chances to win your seat are two satellites with 15 seats each guaranteed at 1 p.m. (3.15 p.m. end of reg) and 5 p.m. (7.15 p.m. end of reg) with a buy-in of just NT$ 3,500. Yesterday's edition had an overlay of more than 30% to get the ball rolling.
The Gods of Poker live reporting team will focus on Flight D as of the third level of play and once the bubble has burst, keep an eye on the final flight as well.
