Manila Super Series 24 Opens September 18 with a ₱10M Main Event

EVENT PREVIEW

Manila Super Series 24 runs September 18–27, 2026 at PokerStars Live Manila, Okada Manila. The organizer lists more than ₱18 million in festival guarantees, led by a ₱10 million-guaranteed Main Event on September 25–27.

This is a preview of the published schedule, not a claim that the festival was newly announced today. Details were checked on September 11. All times below are Manila time.

Main Event: four starting flights

Entry is ₱18,500. The schedule offers these opening sessions:

• September 25: Flight A at 13:00; Flight B at 19:00.
• September 26: Flight C at 13:00; Flight D at 19:00.

The evening flights list 20-minute levels. They should not be presented as identical to the afternoon sessions. The event guide is the reference for registration deadlines and structure details.

Before the Main Event

The opening week includes the Warm-up on September 18–19 and Mystery Bounty on September 23–24. Both list ₱750,000 guarantees and ₱4,500 entry fees. SuperStack follows on September 20, with Super Structure on September 21.

That gives the festival two distinct stretches: side events during the opening days, followed by the Main Event weekend.

Qualifiers remain on the schedule

The September 18 Main Event qualifier begins at 19:00. Its ₱2,700 entry, three guaranteed seats and 80,000-chip target are listed in the official guide. September 25 also has an 11:00 hyper qualifier at ₱3,600, advertising five seats and a 60,000-chip target.

Those are different scheduled formats, not interchangeable sessions. A qualifier entry is not a Main Event ticket; qualification conditions still apply.

DIP’s view

For Manila’s tournament calendar, this is more than a single Main Event weekend. The opening-week lineup gives the series a broader identity, with a separate run of events before the headline tournament begins. Our main takeaway is that readers should distinguish the festival’s opening date from the Main Event’s opening date: September 18 and September 25 are not the same starting point.
