Earlier this year, the 'PokerStars LIVE Macau' poker site ran the twentieth installment of the Macau Poker Cup in January and set a Red Dragon main event record with 995 players.
It became a well-recognized theme as Asia's home to the most important and richest poker tournaments broke a slew of private and Asia poker records inside the 2014 season. The poker site awarded HK$189 million (USD $24m) in total prize money and people are big numbers in any a part of the world.
In fact, that represents six consecutive years of growth and PokerStars LIVE Macau team is pushing harder than ever to make it seven.
It all starts with Macau Poker Cup 22 which occurs from Feb 27-Mar 15, 2015.
Here's three things to seem out for:
1. RED DRAGON RECORDOnce again, the MPC features the Red Dragon event with the buy-in set at HK$12,000. It's widely expected that the legendary tournament will surpass the 1000-player mark for the primary time ever - a huge jump from its humble beginnings as a 33-man tournament back in 2008.
Bigger buy-in plus bigger player field? You do the math.
2. IMPROVED 17-DAY SCHEDULEThe Red Dragon is plenty to be interested by all in itself but after running the MPC as a 17-day poker festival for the primary time this past August, organizers have listened to the player feedback and changed accordingly.
"We know that the Macau Poker Cup side events we now have are hugely popular." said APPT President Danny McDonagh. "It wasn't such a lot about changing those event, but more so about placing them in better spots at the schedule."
Checkout the schedule and you may see a far tighter packed list of events.
One new addition is the HK$5,000 Megastack which comes with a HK$500,000 guarantee. For individuals who can't come for the whole schedule, it is the perfect warm-up tournament with a tremendous starting stack of 30,000 chips.
3. ASIA PLAYER OF THE YEAR (APOY)December's Beijing Cup will officially kickoff the 2015 APOY season but there is no doubt that MPC22 will set the pace for the year with 16 Official Asia Player of the Year events handy. If you wish to be within the running for the hardest poker ranking in Asia you just can't miss this event.
Online Satellites to MPC22 begin Wednesday, November 19.
