China’s premier poker brand, China Poker Games is just weeks away from hosting its biggest annual festival in Sanya, Hainan Island. As tradition dictates, the upcoming CPG Championship will be held during the third week of August, running from August 21-30, 2024, at the Howard Johnson Resort Sanya Bay.

The CPG Championship Finals aka Main Event begins on August 24 and runs until the last day of the festival on August 30. For players new to the CPG, the Main Event utilizes a repechage format allowing players to buy in only once per day which means, same-day re-entry is not allowed.

China Poker Games is the largest poker brand in China hosting several Championship Satellite events around the country, all leading up to the annual Championship event in Sanya. Each year, the turnout has swelled, producing the biggest fields ever seen in the region.
While the field primarily consists of Chinese nationals, international attendance has been growing each year. Players from Southeast Asia are among the most consistent. A contingent of Australians has also been seen at the tables. This year, 2023 CPG Haitang Satellite Main Event champion, Alex Lee, has confirmed his attendance and will be bringing a group of Singaporeans and Malaysians to the games. Lee shared,
“Interest and curiosity about CPG has been growing. It will be a good time for players to go this August with not many clashes in the region. It’s a great experience. I’ve been going to this big one for sometime so I can help answer any questions for international players interested in attending.”

If you are planning to attend for the first time, one of the many reasons why CPG continues to draw large fields is its focus on player experience both on and off the felt. CPG was first brand in Asia to go fully digital, ensuring smoother and seamless registration process. The CPG APP was recently upgraded and launched on July 21, 2024. Additional services include festival invitation letters, booking tours, and food delivery.
After an intense day at the tables, players can unwind and explore the island’s pristine beaches, enjoy water sports, and sample the delicious local cuisine with fellow poker enthusiasts.
Whether you’re bringing family and friends along or enjoying some solo downtime, the CPG Poker Championship Sanya is the perfect backdrop for a memorable poker holiday.
