Running from January 17 to 30, 2024, the upcoming festival is expected to bring together the largest gathering of international players, each one vying to become the first player in the region to claim the inaugural WPT Cambodia Championship title and have their victory forever memorialized on the Mike Sexton Champions Cup. Mark the dates!

In partnership with Connaissance Management, all the action takes place at the world-class NagaWorld Integrated Resort Complex in capital city Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Through the years, this location has been revered as the brand’s most preferred destination by players from around the world. Not only is the competition top notch, the city and its surroundings offer an abundance of culture, nightlife, restaurants, etc.. you name it.

If you are just hearing of this exciting festival, WPT Cambodia offers the largest lineup of games in the tour’s history in Asia with 44 events scheduled and USD 1.7 Million in guarantees. The WPT has also ensured that every type of bankroll is covered with trophy event buy ins from as low as USD 300 to the heights of USD 10,000.

Highlighting the festivities is the USD 1 Million guaranteed WPT Cambodia Championship. This is the first time the WPT has guaranteed seven figures for an open event in the region. See the link below for the full schedule breakdown and WPT Cambodia – Player Guide.

WPT Cambodia – Player of the Festival

In addition to the coveted Championship title, players will also be competing for the WPT Player of the Festival. The top three players in points at the end of the games will win prizes as listed below accordingly:

The WPT Prime Championship ticket is certainly one hot item. At this year’s WPT Prime Championship, currently ongoing at Wynn Las Vegas, the event drew a monster field of 10,512 entries, thus shattering its USD 5M guarantee for a mighty USD 10,196,640 prize pool.
