Poker Dream Malaysia 26 Sets MYR 4 Million Guarantee for Main Event at Genting Highlands

Poker Dream returns to Genting Highlands for a 12-day run from October 8-19. The festival packs 60 numbered events plus satellites and freerolls into the schedule, with buy-ins spanning MYR 800 to MYR 20,000. A MYR 4,000,000 (~$1M) guaranteed Main Event anchors the calendar.

As reported by PokerNews, the Main Event begins October 15 and runs through October 19. It supplies multiple starting flights and satellite routes before crowning a champion. Other guaranteed events precede it, among them a MYR 1.5 million Malaysia Open, mystery bounty formats, ultra stack tournaments, and mixed-game offerings.

Three flights land on October 15: Day 1A at MYR 4,800 (~$1,200) advances 15 percent of the field, while Days 1B and 1C at MYR 3,200 (~$800) advance 10 percent. October 16 hosts three more flights and October 17 adds four, including turbo and hyper-turbo variants. MYR 1,100 milestone satellites run across the three days, supplemented by freerolls on October 15, 16, and 17.
