GLPC VI Introduces ARCH ANGEL Trophies for High Roller and Side Event Winners

The Grand Loyal Poker Championship VI: Ultimate Showdown will introduce two new trophies, the ARCH ANGEL High Roller Trophy and the ARCH ANGEL Side Event Trophy, when it runs from 18 to 29 November 2026 in Hanoi, Vietnam. The 12-day series offers VND 66 billion (approx. USD 2.55 million) in guarantees across 67 events.

Powered by U Series of Poker (USOP), GLPC VI returns to the Grand Loyal Poker Club after the previous edition in the Vietnamese capital. The two ARCH ANGEL trophies will be awarded for the first time this year, with the winners of the High Roller events and the side events each taking one home.

They join the Main Event Trophy and the "ELITE" Trophy, which brings the Grand Loyal Poker Championship trophy collection to four.

VND 66 Billion Guaranteed Across 67 Events

The series guarantee stands at VND 66 billion, with the Main Event carrying VND 16 billion (approx. USD 617,000) of that total. The schedule runs to 67 events over the 12 days, and the High Roller events make up a dedicated series within it.

Early Bird Packages

Two sets of early bird packages are available, both including nights at the five-star Grand Vista Hotel in Hanoi, airport pick-up and access to a VIP check-in line.

The High Roller packages come in two tiers. Premium gives VND 300 million in tournament credit and requires players to enter at least four High Roller events. Platinum gives VND 400 million in credit with a minimum of five High Roller events. Both tiers can be bought two ways:

• Premium: VND 285 million (approx. USD 10,997) if paid before 15 November 2026, or VND 300 million (approx. USD 11,576) with seven hotel nights included

Exploring Hanoi Between Sessions

With 12 days of poker on the schedule, most players will find some downtime to see the city. Hanoi's Old Quarter is the usual starting point, a dense grid of narrow streets and markets with traditional shophouses.

Hoan Kiem Lake sits close by and is a popular spot for an evening walk, and the Temple of Literature, one of the city's oldest landmarks, is a short ride away.
