Tournament Dynamics
Because poker in Taiwan is recognized as a "Mind Sport," action at both APA and Red Space is strictly tournament-focused. During major festivals, the schedule is often split between the two:
* Asia Poker Arena typically hosts the Main Stage events, High Rollers, and televised Final Tables.
* Red Space handles massive opening flights, side events, and satellite tournaments to ensure a smooth player experience.
Daily tournaments run year-round with buy-ins from TWD 1,000 to TWD 4,000, while major series see events scaling up to TWD 100,000+.
Logistics & Travel
📍 APA Location: B1, No. 80, Section 1, Jianguo North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei.
📍 Red Space Location: Songshan District, Taipei (Easily accessible via MRT).
🚕 Transit: Both venues are approximately 10–15 minutes apart by taxi. Players are encouraged to stay in the Zhongshan or Songshan districts for the shortest commute to the tables.
📝 Entry: International players must present a valid passport to register for their CTP membership, which is valid at both locations.
