K Poker Cup and King Poker Cup have combined to form a single tour called KPC Poker. The rebranded series will hold its first major festival at LES A Casino in Jeju, Shinhwa World, running from October 10-21 with $2.3 million (₩3.1 billion) in guarantees on offer.
The festival features two Main Events. The ₩1.3 million KPC Main Event carries an ₩880 million guarantee, the largest KRW-denominated prize pool of the series, while a $15,000 King’s Main Event closes out the schedule near the end of the festival.
Buy-ins across the 12 days range widely, topping out at a $60,000 Super High Roller that runs from October 14 to 16. Other high-buy-in highlights include a ₩5 million High Roller with ₩420 million guaranteed, plus several $15,000-$25,000 single-day events scattered throughout the schedule.
The opening weekend also revives the King’s Debut, a $5,000 event with a $1 million guarantee spread across three starting flights on October 10-11, concluding October 12. The KPC Main Event begins shortly after, offering six starting flights, including evening turbo options, before Day 2 and a final table on October 15-16.
The $15,000 King’s Main Event runs October 17-20 with two starting flights before players combine for the final stages. A $30,000 Final Coronation event coincides with its final table, and the festival wraps up on October 21 with a $20,000 Single Day Super High Roller.
KPC Poker is offering a half-price administration fee on 17 tournaments for players who register and are seated early, alongside various travel and hotel packages, including one offering free accommodation for players who prepay $70,000 in buy-ins.
