The “Gods of Poker” live poker tournament series holds its events at various locations across Asia, with each event featuring a theme from Greek mythology. The new 2027 season will kick off from February 12 to 22 at the Asia Poker Arena in Taipei. The highlight is the Main Event, with a buy-in of NTD 41,800 (approx. $1,270) and a guaranteed prize pool of NTD 15,000,000 (approx. $455,000).
GOP founder Lloyd Fontillas looks back on past “Gods of Poker” seasons and describes 2026 as the “Year of Creation.” 2027 is now set to mark the rise of the demigods. Gods such as Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Cronus, and many more are set to come to life. And each of them will represent a different chapter, a different power, and a different identity within Gods of Poker. 
Immediately after Chinese New Year, GOP will kick off with its first event at the Asia Poker Arena in Taipei from February 12 to 22. The organizer has big plans: “Tournament formats will continue to evolve. New concepts will emerge. The player experience, presentation, and innovation will continue to improve.” The partnership with CTP is also expected to contribute to this.
However, the specific developments and innovations have not yet been detailed. Furthermore, for the first event of the new season, information is currently limited to the Main Event. Detailed information is available on the Gods of Poker website.
