WPS Bogotá 2026 Returns With $1M Guaranteed Poker Festival

The Winner Poker Series (WPS) returns to the Colombian capital in January with an edition that marks a new high point for live poker in the country.

Running from January 14 to 26, 2026, at Hollywood Casino & Café Concert, WPS Bogotá 2026 will feature a $1,000,000 total guaranteed prize pool, the largest ever attached to a live poker series in Colombia. 

Below is a full breakdown of what’s on offer, from the Main Event to the supporting tournaments and online qualification routes.

At the center of the 2026 schedule sits the WPS Bogotá Main Event, carrying a $500,000 guarantee for a buy-in of approximately $800 (COP 3,000,000). The event offers six Day 1 flights between January 19 and 24, allowing players to choose a starting day that fits their plans.

Surviving stacks advance to Day 2 on January 24, followed by Day 3 on January 25 and the final table on January 26. Players begin with 40,000 chips, with 40-minute levels on Day 1 and 60-minute levels from Day 2 onward. Unlimited re-entry is available during registration, though only a player’s best stack moves forward, ensuring a clean and competitive path to the later stages.

While the Main Event headlines the festival, WPS Bogotá includes a range of side tournaments aimed at different playing styles.

The Deep Stack Turbo, running from January 18 to 19, features a $260 buy-in and an $18,000 guarantee. Players receive 60,000 chips, with 15-minute levels creating a fast-moving structure that still rewards solid post-flop play. Late registration remains open through Level 10, and the event plays out across two days.

The Progressive KO, scheduled for January 21 to 22, brings a $395 buy-in plus bounty and a $50,000 guarantee. Starting stacks sit at 35,000 chips, with 30-minute levels on Day 1. As bounties come into play, the tournament shifts toward a more aggressive dynamic, appealing to players comfortable balancing survival with knockout value.

Since launching in 2013, the Winner Poker Series has established itself as Colombia’s flagship live poker tour. Past stops in cities such as Medellín, Cartagena, Cali, and Barranquilla have helped grow consistent fields, with Bogotá regularly producing the strongest turnouts.

That pattern looks set to continue in 2026. Domestic participation remains strong, and the size of the guarantees is expected to attract international interest. Previous editions have seen appearances from players such as Julián Fonseca, Michael Mizrachi, Farid Jattin, José Severino, and Diego Ventura, and while final lineups are never guaranteed, early attention around the series suggests another busy room.

For players looking to secure a seat before arriving in Bogotá, WPT Global serves as the official online qualification platform. A series of $80 Main Event qualifiers will run between January 19 and 23, awarding seats directly into the $500K Main Event.

New players on WPT Global can use the NEWBONUS code when signing up, unlocking additional welcome benefits alongside access to satellite tournaments feeding into the WPS Bogotá Main Event.
