The Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT) 20 marks a decade built on small buy-ins, thousands of players, and a constant wave of new faces entering the game, all chasing the same goal of turning a small buy-in into life-changing money. TMT, which started as a local home-game dream in Taiwan , has raised the stakes year after year across twenty editions to become one of the premier stops in Asia.

The festival is way past just marking a milestone. It is making a bold move by raising the stakes while keeping buy-ins at a level people can actually get into.

TMT 20: The WSOP of Small Stakes Poker

The TMT has effectively become the “WSOP of small stakes,” a place where the smallest buy-ins consistently turn into life-changing money. Looking back at TMT 19 , it set a huge benchmark with more than 8,000 entries and a prize pool of more than $1.8 million. That kind of momentum has carried straight into the new edition.

Now, returning to Red Space , TMT 20 is raising the bar again with a fresh dual Main Event format that opens the door wider and creates more ways for players to compete for life-changing results. The TMT 20 Main Event is expected to draw over 10,000 entries, with the festival running from July 8 to August 3, 2026. It’s a unique scene where players from all walks of life descend on the island, all chasing their shot in these massive, high-value fields.

Unbeatable Value: Small Buy-ins, Massive Millions

What makes this festival so special is the sheer value it packs, offering one of the best guarantee-to-entry ratios in the world. The festival begins with a full schedule of small-stakes side events, giving players plenty of opportunities to build momentum before the main event begins. The spotlight then shifts to the first TMT 20 Main Event, running from July 19 to 27, where a $300 buy-in gives players a shot at a massive $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

As the action heats up, the festival transitions into the TMT 20 Crown Main Event from July 28 to August 3, where a $600 buy-in opens the door to another $1,000,000 prize pool.

A decade has been built through years of competition, and now, with two Main Events and millions in guarantees, everything is in place. This is more than just a tournament series, it is the start of a new chapter in a ten-year journey at the home of small-stakes poker in Asia.

This is the new era for TMT.
