About the Series

A new chapter for poker in South-West China.

The South West Poker Tournament opens its 1st stop in Guang'an, Sichuan from May 8 to 13, 2026 — six days, 46 events, a full progression from satellites and side events to the Main Event, the High Stakes Masters, and the Yuechi Cuihu Championship.

The festival is hosted at the Grand Rezen in Yuechi — a short walk from the high-speed railway station, with lake-view rooms, a wave-fronted banquet hall built for live poker, and full-service amenities so players can stay, practice, and play without leaving the property.

Atmosphere

Felt, gold, & quiet ambition.
