Quads Poker Championship will round off its debut year with QPC Winter 2026, bringing 71 events and more than VND 100 billion in guaranteed prize pools to Hanoi from December 12–23.

Taking place at Quads Hanoi Poker Club in Royal City, the 12-day festival is billed as the brand’s year-end Grand Final. A VND 25 billion guaranteed Main Event leads the schedule, alongside four other multiday highlights and a High Roller program featuring QPC’s highest buy-in to date.

Winter follows three festivals held since June, with the organisers reporting a combined 27,418 entries across 185 events. Those opening editions awarded close to USD 12 million in prize money, setting the scene for QPC’s largest festival yet.

New Highs for the High Roller Schedule

The bigger guarantees extend to the High Roller schedule, where High Roller Legacy offers VND 6 billion guaranteed, the largest guarantee for a High Roller tournament in QPC history.

Meanwhile, the Superstar Challenge comes with a VND 140 million buy-in, making it the most expensive tournament the brand has offered to date.

Together, the two events add higher-stakes options to a festival whose five headline multiday tournaments account for VND 63 billion of the overall guarantee.
