On the live front, Ace Poker League has been setting new records at every festival in Korea. At the 2023 APL Seoul Series Main Event held in June, the brand cracked over a million USD then surpassed its record in October of the same year amassing a Main Event prize pool of KRW 1.8 Billion (~$1.6 Million).
The last live stop took place in March 2024 and once again broke its own record, generating an unprecedented prize pool of KRW 4,224,400,000 (~$3.17 Million). Since its rebranding in 2022, APL has also hosted an event at its 2Ace Poker Room in Manila, Philippines this past November 2023.
