Less than two weeks remain until GOP Incheon 2026 II: The Labyrinth Trail returns to Paradise City in South Korea, with Gods of Poker adding more ways for players to reach some of the festival's biggest events.

The ten-day Gods of Poker (GOP) festival runs from October 30 to November 8, with the KRW 600 million guaranteed Main Event again at the center of the schedule.

One of the biggest incentives comes right at the start of the Main Event, with Flight A on November 3 being completely rake-free. The latest schedule also includes dedicated satellites into the GOP High Roller, Demigods Challenge and GOP Super High Roller.

Players looking for the full festival breakdown, including the five GOP Gauntlets, Rewards Program and Player of the Series race, can revisit Somuchpoker's first GOP Incheon II preview.

Main Event Flight A Goes 100% Rake-Free

The GOP Incheon II Main Event plays out from November 3 to 8 with a KRW 600,000,000 guarantee and five starting flights.

The standard Main Event entry is KRW 1,430,000, but players entering Flight A on November 3 will pay only KRW 1,300,000, with GOP removing the rake entirely and the full buy-in going into the prize pool.

Flight A begins at 12:30 p.m. and is the only rake-free starting flight, giving players who enter at the first opportunity some additional value before the regular Main Event price returns from Flight B onward.

The first three flights run with 40-minute levels, before Flight D switches to 30-minute levels and the final Flight E runs with 20-minute levels on November 6. Day 2 takes place on November 7 before the next GOP Incheon Main Event champion is crowned on November 8.

The winner will follow Kyung Min Lee, who topped the 356-entry Main Event during GOP's first Incheon festival of 2026 to win KRW 148,280,000 and the Black-and-Gold Gauntlet.

New Satellites Open Routes to GOP High Rollers

Players targeting the biggest buy-ins on the schedule will also have several satellite opportunities during the opening half of the festival.

The first arrives on October 31 at 5 p.m., with a KRW 1,100,000 satellite feeding into the KRW 6.6 million GOP High Roller, which begins the following day.

On November 2 at 5 p.m., a KRW 2,420,000 satellite gives players another route into the KRW 14.7 million Demigods Challenge, one of the largest buy-in events of the festival.

The final High Roller satellite runs on November 3 at 5 p.m., with a KRW 1,760,000 entry feeding into the KRW 10.6 million GOP Super High Roller beginning on November 4.

Those events form three of the four High Roller tournaments awarding GOP's signature Gauntlets, alongside the KRW 5.5 million Titan Stack High Roller that opens the festival on October 30.
