Gods of Poker Takes the Stage at COD Soul Poker Fest Manila

The COD Soul Poker Fest is set to ignite the Grand Ballroom at City of Dreams Manila from October 4–13, 2025, featuring a thrilling PHP 18,000,000 (~USD 315,160) series guarantee spread across 29 trophy events. While the festival headlines with a PHP 10,000,000 guaranteed Main Event, one of its most exciting highlights arrives midway through the schedule, with the arrival of Gods of Poker (GOP) on the live map.

Since its launch, GOP has been making waves with its bold vision, mythology-inspired branding and player-first philosophy. At COD Soul Poker Fest, GOP introduces its latest concept—the GOP Arena Event, a two-day showcase designed to give players their first taste of the brand’s exclusive Cronus Structure. The journey begins in Manila, but more Arena battles are set to rise across Asia in the months ahead.

GOP Arena x COD Soul Poker Fest

Running from October 7–8, the GOP Arena Event marks the first opportunity in Asia for players to compete under the Cronus Structure, GOP’s innovative blind progression format that challenges traditional tournament pacing.

With a PHP 2,500,000 (USD 43,730) guarantee set against a modest PHP 11,000 (USD 190) buy-in, the Arena Event blends accessibility with big opportunity. Four flights will run on October 7, each playing down to the money line before converging into the Final Day on the 8th, where the battle for the first GOP trophy begins.

Event Details

• Date/s: October 7–8, 2025
• Buy-in: PHP 11,000 (~USD 190)
• Guarantee: PHP 2,500,000 (~USD 43,730)

To sweeten the deal, Flight A will run rake-free, giving early registrants maximum value. And beyond the prize pool, the eventual champion will also earn a USD 3,500 valued Main Event package to GOP’s debut series, Eden Awakens (Dec 5–14, 2025 in Jeju, South Korea). This all-in package includes a Main Event seat, USD 1,500 cash equivalent (converted to KRW) to cover roundtrip airfare, and five nights’ accommodation onsite, turning an epic victory into a quick gateway to GOP's inaugural festival.

Local Partnerships at the Core

More than just tournaments, GOP Arena Events are founded on trusted partnerships with leading local poker rooms, bringing communities together and opening the door for grassroots players to experience innovation and rewards once reserved for the biggest festivals. Each Arena showcases exclusive trophies, the revolutionary Cronus Structure, and a direct pathway into the broader GOP ecosystem.

As GOP expands across Asia, Arena events will continue to spark opportunities for players to step onto a global stage without leaving their home markets. Poker rooms and operators interested in hosting one are invited to partner with GOP and join the movement redefining the future of live poker.
