Okada Manila Millions Starts Next Week With PHP 15M GTD
PokerStars Live heads back to the Philippines next week with the return of the Okada Manila Millions , running from April 29 to May 10 at Okada Manila .
The series has become a regular on the Manila calendar for a reason. Affordable buy-ins, full fields, and a schedule that gives you something to play pretty much every day. This year’s edition comes with over PHP 15 million guaranteed across the festival.
PHP 6 Million Main Event From May 6
The Main Event once again sits at the heart of the schedule, carrying a PHP 6,000,000 guarantee with a PHP 8,000 buy-in. It runs from May 6 to May 10 and follows the same formula that has worked well in previous editions, multiple starting flights and a structure that gives players a real chance to build a stack.
Beomhui Kang returns as the defending champion after taking down last year’s title , and his name will be one to keep an eye on once the field starts to narrow.

Two Weeks of Non-Stop Action
The schedule stretches across nearly two full weeks and doesn’t really slow down. There’s a steady mix of bounty events, turbos, deeper structures, and plenty of qualifiers running alongside the headline tournaments.
Some of the key events on the schedule include:
- PHP 1,000,000 Warm-Up Progressive KO
- PHP 1,000,000 Okada Micro Millions
- PHP 2,000,000 Saturday Super Stack
- PHP 6,000,000 Okada Millions Main Event
- PHP 2,000,000 Mystery Bounty
- PHP 1,000,000 Survivor Knockout
If you don’t want to jump straight into the bigger events, there are satellites and qualifiers running throughout, so there’s always a way to get involved.

Easy Setup at Okada Manila
Okada Manila has become a familiar stop for players in the region, and everything is set up to make the trip simple. You’ve got the poker room, hotel, food, and everything else in one place, which makes a big difference over a long series.
There are also hotel deals running during the festival, so it’s worth sorting that early if you’re planning to stay on-site.

APPT Dates Locked In For 2026
Alongside the upcoming series, PokerStars Live has already confirmed key dates for the 2026 APPT season .
APPT Manila returns to Cove at Okada Manila from July 28 to August 10 with over PHP 132 million guaranteed. After that, APPT Korea runs at Paradise City in Incheon from September 3 to 14, marking the tour’s return to the venue after six years. It’s one that a lot of players have been waiting on, and with Paradise City now established as one of the region’s top destinations, this should be a lively one once it gets going. More details on that stop are expected soon, so it’s worth keeping an eye out.
The season then builds toward the APPT Championship , which heads back to Okada Manila’s Coral Lounge from October 8 to 19.
Those events sit further down the calendar, but for now the focus is firmly on Manila, with the Okada Manila Millions getting things started again from April 29.
If past editions are anything to go by, it won’t take long before the room is full and the series finds its rhythm.
