Asia Poker Arena to Host WPT Prime Taiwan

CTP founder Hsing “David” Tai welcomed WPT’s return. He credited the support of players from Taiwan and around the world for making WPT Prime Taiwan a special event for CTP and said he looked forward to welcoming visitors to enjoy poker, food, culture and Taiwanese hospitality.
The final daily schedule, registration guidance and further venue information will be released ahead of the January festival.
