Background & Features

AGPT is an emerging poker series in Asia that debuted in recent years. The first season was held in Japan and other Asian cities, receiving positive feedback. Season 2 continues the philosophy of "innovation, competition, and social interaction." In addition to standard Texas Hold'em events, it may introduce new mixed games or interactive entertainment segments. The organizers aim to create a platform that "attracts not only professional players but also allows amateur players to enjoy the experience."

Outlook

As global poker events increasingly shift toward Asia, AGPT’s base in Tokyo is expected to further promote the development of competitive poker in Japan. With over a year remaining until the event opens, more details (such as tickets, satellites, and sponsors) will be announced later. Stay tuned.
