Gods of Poker Launches Eden Awakens Festival in Jeju – $1.5M Guaranteed
- Gods of Poker's Eden Awakens offers $1.5M across 80 events from Dec 5-14, 2025.
- Main Event features $725,000 guarantee with innovative Cronus Structure promoting fair play.
- Exclusive accommodation packages enhance luxury poker experience at Jeju Shinhwa World.
The newly launched Gods of Poker (GOP) is making its grand debut with Eden Awakens, a $1.5 million guaranteed poker festival taking place December 5–14, 2025, at Les A Casino in Jeju, South Korea. Backed by iPoker and built around its player-first Cronus Structure, the series promises 80 mythology-inspired events, headline guarantees, and a fresh approach to live poker competition in Asia.
New Chapter in Live Poker: Eden Awakens at Les A Casino
The Eden Awakens festival marks the opening chapter of the Gods of Poker brand, an ambitious new live-poker concept blending mythological storytelling with high-level competition.
The debut at Les A Casino (formerly Landing Casino) provides a luxurious setting in Jeju Shinhwa World, one of South Korea’s premier entertainment resorts.
The festival carries $1.5 million in total guarantees, half of which powers the headline Main Event. Over ten days, players will experience a balanced mix of formats,from High Rollers and Mystery Bounties to Mixed Games and Flip Outs with all tournaments ensuring non-stop action from day one.
The GOP Main Event - Fair, Fast, and Player-Focused
At the core of Eden Awakens sits the GOP Main Event, guaranteeing $725,000 with a $1,480 buy-in. Running December 8–13, it reflects GOP’s vision of a structured, competitive, and fair tournament format.
The Cronus Structure: Designed for Real Poker
Players begin with 120 big blinds, and late registration closes after only two levels, a move that prevents late short-stack entries and preserves meaningful early play.
The extended opening levels allow deep, thoughtful decisions, while flexible flights let players choose between quick single-day runs or deeper, multi-day sessions.

Packages and Hospitality Options
Players can secure Main Event Packages including a five-night stay (Dec 9–14) at the Jeju Shinhwa World Marriott Resort or Landing Hotel, with round-trip airport transfers for a seamless experience on and off the felt.
For the high rollers, GOP offers 24 exclusive High Roller Packages, 16 Titan and 8 Olympian combining five-star accommodation, VIP transfers, and premium tournament access. Availability is limited, reinforcing GOP’s high-end positioning.
Why the Gods of Poker Series Stands Out
Each event in the series draws from classic mythological archetypes from Pandora’s Mystery Bounty to The Titan Stack with custom trophies crafted to match the grandeur of the theme.
The Cronus Structure ensures balanced play and fairness, while partnerships with CTP, JPPS, HKPPA, and the iPoker Network guarantee credibility and reach across Asia. Future stops are already confirmed in Taipei (Jan 2026) and Phnom Penh (Mar–Apr 2026).
