While Las Vegas is often associated with the biggest and most prestigious poker tournaments, the record for the largest live poker tournament in history belongs to a surprising location—the Philippines. In January 2015, the PokerStars Live Manila Super Series set a world record with an astounding 5,107 participants in a single tournament.
The event was held at the City of Dreams Manila, a luxurious integrated resort and casino, and was part of the growing poker scene in the Philippines. The massive turnout highlighted the global appeal of poker and the enthusiasm for the game in unexpected places. While Las Vegas remains the epicenter of poker, this record-breaking event in the Philippines serves as a testament to poker's popularity on an international scale.
