The APT Taipei 2024 festival launched with an exciting Freeroll Freezeout, giving 150 players the chance to win a seat into the APT National Cup for free. Held on February 28 at Asia Poker Arena, the event featured a unique format—only the first 10 players to reach 100,000 chips won. Once all 10 seats were claimed, the event concluded.

With a freezeout structure, Big Blind Ante paid first, and shot clocks active from the start, the action was intense. Each player had just 3 time banks, making every decision count.

This opener set the tone for a competitive and high-energy festival across two premier venues in Taipei: Asia Poker Arena [APA] and Chinese Mahjong League [CML].
