The HK$1 million buy-in event had 125 entries with a huge prize pool of HKD$119,375,000 (USD $15.4 million). "It's incredibly exciting to work with MBP again and to have them sponsoring our high roller events on the ACOP," said APPT President Danny McDonagh. "Their reach within the region is exceptional and will double or triple the participation in both the 250k and 500k events."In anticipation of the bigger fields, the HK$500,000 (USD $65,000) Super High Roller has changed from a 2-day event to a 3-day event from November 1-3 and makes it possible for two rebuys. Meanwhile, the HK$250,000 (USD $32,000) High Roller is a freezeout event that concludes the poker festival from November 8-9.
