The Asian Poker Tour (APT) traditionally hosts its APT Online Series on GGPoker. This year’s APT Online 2026 takes place from October 11 to November 2. This year’s series offers a total of $40 million in guaranteed prize money, 20 Trophy Events—including 3 exclusive Lion Trophies—and a Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million. Last year, the guarantee was $25 million. In addition to their tournament winnings, each winner of the 20 Trophy Events receives a seat in the APT Championship Main Event valued at $10,000. With a record-breaking start, the first two winners of the APT Online 2026 have now been crowned.
The APT Online 2026 got off to a bang. Event #1, the $108 Bounty Kickoff, attracted 4,226 entrants, significantly exceeding the $300,000 guarantee and reaching a prize pool of $419,895.36. After just over nine hours, “PostBloom,” a player from Georgia, secured the series’ first title. Following a heads-up deal, “PostBloom” claimed the largest first-place prize ever awarded in this event—$20,034.80 plus a hefty $15,202.68 in bounties, while “TheGrinder19” took home $20,033.64 plus an additional $1,343.77 in bounties. The Chinese player “CryptoPerry” rounded out the podium with third place and prize money of $15,918.69, as well as $3,934.44 in bounties.
Event #2, the $5,000 Superstar Challenge, also drew the largest field in history. 246 elite players competed for a prize pool of $1,168,500. Austria-based “Avdi_2000” emerged as the winner, securing the title and an impressive prize of $205,727.91.
