The wait is over. GOP Taipei – The Trial of Wisdom kicks off today at CTP Asia Poker Arena , marking Gods of Poker’s return to Taiwan for a ten-day run until September 27.
At the center of it all is a TWD 17,000,000 (~USD 535,000) guaranteed Main Event carrying a TWD 33,000 (~USD 1,040) buy-in, one of the biggest guarantees GOP has put up in Taipei.

The festival spans 77 events across the ten days, mixing affordable side events, a full slate of high rollers, and five enviable GOP Gauntlets up for grabs. If you missed it, our full preview breaks down the schedule, the Main Event, and everything else on offer.
Cards in the Air at 12:30
Play gets underway at 12:30 PM local time with the first Titan Stack Daily (TWD 5,500 buy-in, TWD 777,000 guarantee), the recurring event that runs across six days of the festival.
The evening then brings Flight A of the brand-new GOP Accumulator at 7:00 PM, the multi-flight event with a TWD 3,000,000 guarantee and a bonus system for players who qualify through more than one flight.
Both were late additions to the schedule, arriving alongside a one-off TWD 1,000,000 guaranteed Titan Stack on Saturday and a refreshed Cronus Structure. The full breakdown is here .
Coming Off a Strong Manila Stop
GOP arrives in Taipei fresh off a successful run at GOP Manila – The Arena of Champions , where Dakota Anderson took down the Main Event for a career-best PHP 6,304,500 (~USD 101,322) after a comeback from a 5-to-1 heads-up chip deficit.
We caught up with Anderson after his win – you can watch the full interview below.
