08/09/2023

It’s that time of the year again, the annual China Poker Games (CPG) Championship! With each passing year, this festival serves as a magnet, drawing players from every corner of China and outside, all vying for a piece of the massive prize pools.

Within the realm of poker events, CPG Championship continues to reign in the region. Now entering its 11th year, its annual draw is unmatched, and its Main Event prize pool stands as the most enviable in all of Asia.

Taking a look back, in 2019, the CPG Sanya Championship Main Event prize pool soared to CNY 29,754,000 (~USD 4.17 Million). In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, the numbers dipped yet still produced an impressive CNY 25.475,500 (~USD 3.7M), which quickly bounced back up in 2022 to roughly USD 4.9 Million.

Early this year, CPG celebrated its 10th year anniversary. The Main Event attracted a jaw-dropping 4,406 entries for a prize pool of around USD 6.5 Million.
