KPC Poker’s Jeju festival is set to run from October 10-21 at LES A Casino, Jeju Shinhwa World, with ₩3.1 billion (roughly $2.3 million) guaranteed across the schedule. The event marks the first major series under the newly merged KPC Poker banner, formed from K Poker Cup and King Poker Cup.
A new two-stage Stairs Satellite has been introduced as an alternative route into the $15,000 King’s Main Event, which runs October 17-20. Stage 1 takes place on October 15 with a ₩1.1 million buy-in, awarding a Stage 2 ticket plus cash to those who cash. Stage 2 follows on October 16 with a ₩3.15 million buy-in, sending qualifiers directly into the Main Event with additional cash.
On the high-roller front, KPC Poker’s original $70,000 High Roller package has sold out, prompting the launch of a new $100,000 Ultimate Elite Package covering accommodation in exchange for prepaid tournament buy-ins. Interested players are advised to contact KPC Poker’s VIP service for details.
Three Player of the Series leaderboards have also been confirmed, covering KRW events, High Rollers and Mixed Games. Winners receive custom jewelry alongside Player Wallet credit, with the High Roller race offering the largest rewards at $10,000 for first place.
Travel logistics have been addressed as well, with free airport transfers available from October 9-10 for arrivals and October 16-17 for departures, provided players book in advance. Those holding Premium or $100,000 High Roller packages have more flexible transfer options.
The festival will also be broadcast live via KPC Poker’s YouTube channel and 17 POKER QQ Live from October 11-21, with commentary from Wesley Chen, Bobby James, Aaron Paul Kramer and Jin Bo.
