KPC Poker will debut its unified tour at LES A Casino in Jeju from October 10-21, featuring $2.3 million in guarantees, two Main Events, and buy-ins from ₩800,000 to $60,000.
K Poker Cup and King Poker Cup have officially joined forces under the KPC Poker banner, with the newly unified tour set to make its first major appearance at LES A Casino in Jeju, Shinhwa World, from October 10-21.
The 12-day festival features $2.3 million (₩3.1 billion) in total guarantees, with buy-ins ranging from the ₩800,000 KPC Bankroll Builder to the $60,000 King's Super High Roller.
Players will have two Main Events to choose from during the festival. The ₩1.3 million KPC Main Event carries an ₩880 million guarantee, while the $15,000 King's Main Event will close out the festival.
Players heading to Jeju can also select from packages that combine tournament entries, credits and hotel stays.
The opening day on Saturday, October 10, features the ₩800,000 KPC Bankroll Builder, which carries a ₩180 million guarantee across three opening flights.
Ninety minutes after the first cards are dealt in the Bankroll Builder, the $5,000 King's Debut begins with a $1 million guarantee.
The King's Debut was a major part of previous King Poker Cup festivals and returns as one of the opening weekend's biggest guaranteed events. Three starting flights will take place across October 10-11, followed by the final day on October 12.
The KPC Main Event will already be underway by the time the King's Debut reaches its final day. The ₩1.3 million event offers six starting flights between October 11 and October 14, including evening turbo options.
Players advancing through the opening flights return for Day 2 on October 15, with the winner crowned the following day.
Its ₩880 million guarantee makes the KPC Main Event the largest KRW-denominated guarantee on the festival schedule.
High Roller Action Takes Center Stage
The middle portion of the festival shifts toward larger buy-in tournaments. A ₩5 million High Roller with ₩420 million guaranteed begins on October 12. The first $25,000 Single Day Super High Roller follows on October 13.
The largest buy-in of the entire schedule then arrives on October 14, when the $60,000 King's Super High Roller begins. The event runs through October 16 and sits at the top of the festival's high roller program.
The schedule also includes a $15,000 Single Day High Roller Turbo on October 15, followed by the $20,000 Crown Hunt on the following afternoon.
