Asia Grand Poker Tournament (AGPT) Season 2 to be Held in Iidabashi, Tokyo from May 28-31, 2026

Waitinglist Inc. is pleased to announce that 'Asia Grand Poker Tournament (AGPT) Season 2,' an Asia-born next-generation poker tournament with a total prize pool of 100 million yen, will be held at Belle Salle Iidabashi First from May 28 (Thu) to May 31 (Sun), 2026. We are also currently recruiting reception staff to join us in making this tournament a success.

Background and Purpose of AGPT Season 2 The 'Asia Grand Poker Tournament (AGPT)' was launched in February 2026 with the goal of presenting new value to the Asian poker scene as a Japan-born tournament, prioritizing sound operations and experience enhancement through technology.

In a climate where the credibility of poker as a competitive sport is being questioned, our commitment to awarding the entire prize pool in cash was strongly supported by players as a symbol of our sound management.

Furthermore, the utilization of the Waitinglist app for tournament check-ins and seat confirmation provided an experience unseen in traditional offline tournaments. With this vision of 'enhancing experience through technology' being well-received, Season 1 concluded with great success.

To build on this momentum and deliver a more sophisticated competitive experience, Waitinglist is hosting 'AGPT Season 2.'

Biggest Update for Season 2: Introduction of 'POKER Jam' The biggest update for Season 2 is the full-scale introduction of 'POKER Jam,' a new poker analysis system developed by Waitinglist.

POKER Jam utilizes RFID and voice AI to automatically record all actions, bet sizes, boards, and pot distributions from pre-flop to showdown, without any special intervention by the player. After the tournament, players can review all their hands, check stats such as VPIP, PFR, and 3-BET, and even export hand history for GTO Wizard directly from their smartphones.

This tournament will realize a 'tournament that can be reviewed'—a feat never before achieved in live tournaments. During the event, POKER Jam-exclusive tournaments will be held daily, providing participants with an unprecedented competitive experience.

Reception Staff Recruitment AGPT is looking for reception staff to help create the tournament. Through duties such as check-ins, wristband distribution, and venue guidance, staff will be deeply involved in tournament operations. Staff-exclusive tournaments are also planned.
