Staying true to the TMT roots of high-value, accessible poker, the Main Event features a massive USD2 Million guarantee for a modest USD 300 buy-in at TMT 20. This is the ultimate “Dreamer’s” tournament, a chance to turn a small entry into a fortune. With multiple starting flights and the largest field expected in Taiwan’s history, the energy in the room will be electric as thousands contest for the most coveted trophy in the region.

The Crown Main Event: The Ultimate Prestige

  • Dates: July 26 – August 3
  • Buy-in: USD 600

It is the perfect closing chapter for players who want to test their mettle against the best in the business for a seven-figure prize pool.

Why TMT 20 is a Must-Attend

The ambition of this milestone event at TMT 20 is backed by a staggering USD 3,000,000 total series guarantee, marking the largest prize pool ever offered in the history of the TMT. This record-breaking figure elevates the stakes to a global level, attracting a fierce mix of local heroes and international travelers all vying for their share of the historic bag.

With a bigger scale, a longer series, and higher stakes than ever before, TMT 20 is officially next level, and the glory of becoming a champion in Taipei is waiting for those brave enough to claim it.
