As expected, the 12th Annual CPG Championship Finals stormed open with over 300 players quickly getting on the felt for the first deal then doubled up to 645 by the start of the second level. Two areas are now being used. Needless to say, it is massive!
CPG Championship Finals
Running from August 24 to 30, 2024 at the Howard Johnson Resort Sanya in Hainan, China, this is the first of three starting days scheduled. Unlike most events around the world, China Poker Games maintains a repechage format which means no same day re-entry allowed.
The Main Event is suited with a fantastic structure of 300 bb deep. Registration is open for a total of 8 levels, each level running 60 minutes with 20 minutes break in between and one hour dinner break at the end of Level 4.
