The Quads Poker Championship (QPC) Winter 2026 runs December 12-23, 2026 at Quads Hanoi Poker Club in Vietnam, with more than VND 100 billion in total guarantees, according to the organiser’s official promo. The headline is a VND 25 billion guaranteed Main Event with a VND 33 million buy-in, played December 18-22 over five starting flights.
QPC Winter is the fourth and final QPC festival of the tour’s first year. Quads published the multiday schedule, a player guide and a ticket leaderboard on its official site on November 4-5, 2026. All figures below were checked on quadspoker.vn in November 2026.
What are the QPC Winter 2026 multiday events and guarantees?
QPC Winter 2026 has five multiday events with a combined VND 63 billion guaranteed. Quads says that is more than 60% of the whole series guarantee. All buy-ins are in Vietnamese dong, and the club accepts VND only.
| Event | Dates (Dec 2026) | Buy-in (VND) | Guarantee (VND) | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra Stack Championship | 12-13 | 16.5M | 5B | 2 |
| Kick Off Event | 13-15 | 6.6M | 8B | 5 |
| QPC Cup | 15-18 | 22M | 15B | 5 |
| Main Event | 18-22 | 33M | 25B | 5 |
| Mini Main Event | 21-23 | 11M | 10B | 5 |
The VND 25 billion Main Event guarantee is the largest in QPC’s short history. Somuchpoker, the APAC poker outlet, reports that the full schedule has 71 events. It also lists a VND 6 billion GTD High Roller Legacy and a VND 140 million Superstar Challenge, the most expensive QPC tournament so far. Quads’ own news posts do not yet list those two events, so treat their figures as reported, not confirmed.
How can players win a QPC Winter 2026 ticket cheaply?
The QPC Winter Pass is the cheapest official route into the festival. It is a free leaderboard on Quads Hanoi’s daily tournaments that gives away 24 QPC Winter tickets with a total value of VND 297 million. The race runs from October 30 to December 10, 2026 in three two-week stages: October 30-November 12, November 13-26, and November 27-December 10. Players can join at any stage.
In each stage, the top eight players win a ticket:
- 1st: Main Event ticket (VND 33M)
- 2nd: QPC Cup ticket (VND 22M)
- 3rd: Mini Main ticket (VND 11M)
- 4th-8th: Kick Off ticket (VND 6.6M) each
Points come from cashing in daily events: +1 for a Daily Main cash and +0.5 for a Daily Megastack or Deepstack Turbo cash. Daily buy-ins start from VND 732K, according to the official Winter Pass rules. Quads has not yet confirmed some details, such as whether tickets can be transferred or used for re-entries.
What rules apply at QPC Winter 2026?
QPC Winter 2026 is played under the 2026 TDA rules plus Quads’ own house rules, set out in the official player guide. Points for travelling players:
- You need a Quads Poker Club players card to register.
- Re-entries are unlimited unless an event says otherwise, and late entries get a full stack.
- Multi-flight events use “best stack forward”. If you bag more than one stack, you play only your largest, and the others receive the minimum cash. You must reach the final day to be paid.
- The Main Event redraws at three tables, two tables and the final table.
- Every tournament is subject to regulatory approval.
The player guide is published in English, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
Where is Quads Hanoi Poker Club?
Quads Hanoi Poker Club is on the second floor of the R6 building at Royal City, 72A Nguyen Trai, Hanoi. Somuchpoker reports that the organisers can help book accommodation, with options including Royal City apartments and the Novotel Hanoi. Hanoi is on UTC+7, the same time as Bangkok and Jakarta.
QPC’s three earlier 2026 festivals, in June, August and October, drew a combined 27,418 entries across 185 events, according to Somuchpoker. That record makes the VND 100 billion target plausible.
