The Macau Poker Cup
The PokerStars Macau poker room is proud to host the Macau Poker Cup (MPC) which is the premiere poker tournament series in Asia, established in Macau since May, 2008. The Macau Poker Cup always includes a charity event that benefits a local charity, as well as a selection of exciting tournaments that have each developed their own strong following. The MPC signature tournament is the Red Dragon event.

The MPC’s Red Dragon event is the only regular high buy-in poker tournament in Asia (with a HKD $10,000 buy-in, except for the November Macau Poker Cup Championship Main Event which will have a HKD $20,000 buy-in) and a deep-value slow structure running over three days, thus attracting top players from across Asia and the world to test their true poker skills against each other. And now that field size regularly exceeds 200 players, the Red Dragon event is also the richest regular poker tournament in Asia with prize pools normally in excess of HKD $ 2,000,000 (approximately USD $ 258,000).
