2017 Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP)
PokerStars LIVE Macau is proud to host the 2017 Asia Championship of Poker (ACOP), which will take place from October 13-29 2017. The ACOP Main Event features a HK$100,000 (USD $13,000) buy-in and comes with the largest ever guaranteed prize pool in Asia - a massive HKD$25,000,000 (US $3,200,000)!
Serving as the grand finale for the Asia Player of the Year race, the 17-day poker schedule is comprised of two types of tournaments.
ACOP Title Events
The focus for most players will be on 24 ACOP Title Events, including the prestigious Main Event and the Gold Spadie trophy reserved for its winner.
These titles are the measuring stick for all-time achievements at the ACOP, and winners will receive a special ACOP Spadie trophy in recognition of their accomplishment.
Regular Events
If you love poker but don’t have a big bankroll, that shouldn’t stop you from coming to experience the thrill and excitement of the ACOP. Nearly every ACOP Title Event scheduled will also have a lower-buy-in version of the same tournament, with entries ranging from HK$500 to HK$5,000.
