Official Poker Guide (Rules & Structures)
The Super Cup 6 Gyeong-Gi 2026 events are conducted according to the official Tournament Director Association (TDA) rules. The Tournament Director’s decisions are final in all cases.
Important Rules and Information:
- Ante Format: The tournament uses the Big Blind Ante (BBA) format. In all-in situations, the Big Blind is posted before the ante. Some events may be played without an ante.
- Shot Clock: A 30-second countdown is applied for each action. In Turbo and Satellite events, this is reduced to 20 seconds.
- Time Bank: If a player needs more than 30 seconds, they must surrender a Time Bank card to the dealer. If they have no cards left, their hand is an automatic “Check” (in early position) or “Fold” (facing a bet or raise). Cards are non-transferable.
- Taxation: A 4.4% tax is applied to all prize money in South Korea.
- Age Limit: Players must be at least 20 years old to participate.
- Ethics: “Soft play” or “chip dumping” may result in immediate disqualification and a ban. Out of Turn (OOT) actions incur a one-hand penalty immediately without warning.
- Technology: Mobile phones must not be placed on the table felt. Using GTO tools or pre-flop charts during a live hand is prohibited and results in a one-round penalty for the first offense and disqualification for repeats.
Registration & Entry Information
A valid passport or photo ID is required for registration and must be presented at the registration desk. Buy-ins can be paid in Korean Won (KRW) or through the series’ own “ticket” system here in Gyeong-gi.
Note: Guaranteed prize pools may be canceled in the case of natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, extreme snow), and the schedule may change without prior notice.
