Grand Loyal Poker Championship Raises the Stakes with VND 50 Billion Guarantee for GLPC IV

The Grand Loyal Poker Championship (GLPC) will return to the bustling capital of Hanoi, Vietnam , from April 17 to April 27, bringing eleven days of intense tournament action to the Grand Loyal Poker Club . Following the massive success of GLPC III in January—which saw strong fields and a VND 12 Billion Main Event prize pool—the fourth edition is set to push the boundaries of Vietnamese poker even further with a staggering VND 50,105,000,000 total series guarantee (~$2,000,000 USD).

Across the schedule at GLPC IV Hanoi 2026 , players can expect a massive variety of 41 numbered events. The festival caters to all bankrolls, with buy-ins ranging from VND 1,800,000 for side events up to VND 66,000,000 for the High Roller tiers.

The festival kicks off on April 17 with the VND 6,600,000 Kick Off Event (Madness), which carries a generous VND 6,000,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Featuring five opening flights, the “Madness” event sets the tone for a week of record-breaking fields in the heart of Vietnam.

VND 16,000,000,000 GTD Main Event

The centerpiece of the series will be the VND 17,600,000 Main Event, which features a massive VND 16,000,000,000 guarantee and runs across multiple starting flights beginning on April 23.

Players will have four starting opportunities (Day 1A through 1D), including a Turbo flight on April 25. Surviving players will return for Day 2 on April 26, with the final table playing down to a champion on April 27.
