GPI Asian Poker Festival: A Milestone for Global Poker

GPI Asia, a product of Global Poker Index (GPI), debuted in 2018 at the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association (CTP Club) in Taipei City, Taiwan. As the first of its kind in the region, the festival merged four varied tournaments to create one big poker series. 

The lineup of GPI Asia tournaments featured The Hendon Mob Championship (THMC), Global Poker League (GPL) Taiwan Tour Teams Event, Master Poker Series (MPS), and the CTP Alliance Cup. In addition, the GPI Asia festival served as a platform to commemorate leaders of the GPI Masterboard (Taiwan) for the year. 

GPI Asia returned for a second time at CTP Club in May 2023. The most recent edition of the festival took place in late-December 2024 at the Jeju Landing Casino.
