The PS Warm Up kicks off the PS Championship III Taipei 2026 from February 26–27 with a TWD 1M guarantee, serving as the perfect entry point for players to find their rhythm. Running alongside it is the Natural8 Open Super High Roller, an elite 8-handed contest with a TWD 1.5M guarantee designed for those looking to jump straight into the high-stakes competition.

The Natural8 Open Main Event stands as a cornerstone of the early schedule at PS Championship III Taipei 2026, running from February 26 to March 2. With a TWD 7 million guarantee, it offers players a deep-stack experience and serves as a major lead-in to the championship festivities. Last year, in 2025, the iconic event drew a 690-entry field, pushing the prize pool to TWD 9,800,000, smashing the guarantee with ease. When the dust settled, the glory went to Taiwan’s Hao Hsuan Chueh, who outlasted a tough field to lift the trophy. Chueh’s victory not only set a new personal best cash with the monumental TWD 1,500,000 top prize, but also etched his name into PS history as the brand reached a new benchmark for the future.

The crown jewel of the entire PS Championship III Taipei 2026 is the PS Championship Main Event, which takes center stage from March 1–9. With a massive TWD 20M guarantee, it stands as the ultimate destination for players chasing life-changing prize money and the prestigious title of series champion. In the Players Series Championship Main Event 2025, it was another Taiwanese poker pro, Shun Ping Wang, who captured the flagship title.

The premier event attracted a record-breaking field of 897 entries, pushing the prize pool to an incredible TWD 25,575,300 and making the original guarantee look small in comparison. Like Chueh, Wang set a new milestone for his career-best cash by taking home the first-place prize of TWD 3,350,000, which remains the highlight of his resume to this day.

Elevate Your Series Experience: Exclusive High Roller Early Bird Packages

The PS Championship III Taipei 2026 is elevating the high-stakes experience with the return of the High Roller Early Bird Special, offering players a strategic way to maximize their value through hotel rebates issued as tournament credits. Under this promotion, players who pre-register for specific event tiers can receive rebates for up to 13 nights, capped at TWD 3,000 per night. It is important to note that while players are responsible for booking their own accommodations, selecting a package constitutes pre-registration for the prestigious High Roller events included within that tier.

Players can choose from three distinct packages tailored to their series schedule: Elite, Premier, or Flexi. The Elite package offers the maximum benefit of 13 nights of rebates and includes a powerhouse lineup such as the Natural8 Open Super High Roller, Superstar Challenge, and both the PS Championship High Roller and Super High Roller. For those with a slightly more condensed schedule, the Premier package provides 9 nights of rebates covering five core High Roller events plus one choice event, while the Flexi package offers 5 nights of rebates for players focusing on the PS Championship High Roller, Super High Roller, and three other HR events of their choosing.

To secure these exclusive benefits, full payment for the selected package must be completed by February 22, 2026. All tournament credits earned through this promotion must be used exclusively during the PS Championship III Taipei 2026, as they are non-transferable and cannot be carried forward to future series. This special offer provides a seamless way for high-volume players to offset their travel costs while locking in their seats for the most-anticipated events of the Lunar New Year season.
