The Main Event gives players a chance to compete for a seven-figure peso prize pool with an accessible buy-in compared with some of the bigger events on the Manila calendar.

Four opening flights will take place on September 25 and 26, with surviving players returning for Day 2 on September 27. The tournament will then play down until the Manila Super Series 24 Main Event champion is crowned.

Before the Main Event arrives, the series opens tomorrow with the Super Series Warm-up.

The first event on the schedule is a Freeroll to the Super Series Warm-up, offering five guaranteed seats. The Warm-up follows at 12:00, with Flight A carrying a PHP 4,500 buy-in and PHP 750,000 guarantee.

Freerolls Give Players a Chance to Enter

Manila Super Series 24

Manila Super Series 24 will also feature several freerolls, giving players opportunities to win seats into selected events without having to buy directly into them.

For newer players or those who have always wanted to experience a PokerStars LIVE Manila event, these freerolls can be a good place to start. It gives them a chance to step into a live tournament, compete for a seat, and potentially find themselves playing for a trophy later in the series.

For players who may be trying a live PokerStars event for the first time, winning a freeroll seat also takes away some of the barrier that comes with entering a bigger tournament. Instead of simply coming to watch the action, they can earn their way into the field and see what the experience is like at the tables.

With several freerolls leading into different events throughout Manila Super Series 24, there are multiple chances to make that first entry count and possibly turn a freeroll win into a run at a PokerStars LIVE trophy.

The previous Manila Super Series 23 in January ended with Dakota Anderson winning the Main Event for PHP 1,811,000 (~USD 30,700).

For Anderson, the win was more than just a Main Event title. It became the start of his 2026 campaign and set the tone for what would become a productive year on the live felt. From that first victory, Anderson went on to collect multiple trophies across different events, adding more titles to a year that began with a major win at Manila Super Series.
