This edition will mark one of the most ambitious collaborations between global poker brands on Korean soil.

Main Events with KRW 2.88 Billion in Total Guarantees

At the heart of the festival are three marquee Main Events, each backed by one of the featured brands. These tournaments will span multiple days and comprise the majority of the KRW 2.88 billion guarantee.

The Main Events are expected to draw significant domestic and international interest, offering players access to major payouts in a structured live setting on Jeju Island.

Travel and Accommodation Planning

Jeju Island is well-connected through direct flights from Seoul and major cities across Asia, including Tokyo, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. 

Players are encouraged to secure travel and accommodation early, as demand is expected to increase closer to the festival dates.

Jeju offers a variety of accommodation options, ranging from five-star casino resorts and premium hotels to mid-tier and budget alternatives. 

Additional logistical details including venue location, registration instructions, and player support services are expected to be shared soon by the organising committee.
