Poker Dream 9 Malaysia highlights
Since the brand’s launch in mid-2022, Poker Dream has grabbed hold of Malaysia, hosting four jam-packed festivals in the country. The most recent generated a new record prize pool of RM 20 Million (~USD 4.2 Million). For the first time, the Main Event reached seven USD digits, paying out over RM 5.7 Million (~USD 1.2 Million). As the brand gears up for its next festival, expectations are high to shatter these milestones with an irresistible 35-event schedule. To accommodate the anticipated crowd, 80 tables will be prepared at the venue. Let’s have a look at the highlights.
Poker Dream 9 Malaysia Main Event
At the top of the list is of course the Main Event and its stunning RM 10,500,000 (~USD 2.2 Million) guaranteed prize pool. Not only is this the biggest Main Event guarantee announced in Asia, it is also nearly double its own record of RM 5.7 Million.
The Main Event runs April 1 to 8, 2024 with an ample twelve entry flights scheduled.
