GOP Incheon 2026 II: The Labyrinth Trail Returns With KRW 600M Main Event

Gods of Poker (GOP) is heading back to Paradise City this fall, returning to South Korea for GOP Incheon 2026 II: The Labyrinth Trail from October 30 to November 8.

The ten-day festival brings 76 events to Incheon, with five signature GOP Gauntlets, a packed high roller schedule and a KRW 600 million guaranteed Main Event at the center of the action.

GOP Incheon II marks the tour’s second visit to Paradise City in 2026, and plenty has changed since the tour was last in Incheon. The Main Event comes with a lower buy-in, its opening flight will be completely rake free, and the refined Cronus Structure introduced during the recent Taipei stop will make its way to South Korea.

KRW 600M Main Event Leads GOP Incheon II

The GOP Main Event runs from November 3 to 8 and carries a KRW 600,000,000 guarantee.

The standard entry is KRW 1,430,000, putting the tournament at a lower price point than the KRW 2.2 million Main Event staged during GOP’s first Incheon visit earlier this year.

There is even more value for players willing to get started early. Flight A on November 3 is 100% rake free, reducing the entry to KRW 1,300,000, with the full amount going directly into the prize pool.

Five starting flights run from November 3 to 6 before the survivors return for Day 2 on November 7. The GOP Incheon II Main Event champion will then be crowned on November 8.

The Main Event will also use GOP’s refined Cronus Structure . Following player feedback earlier in the season, GOP introduced an additional transition level at approximately 40 big blinds, creating a smoother progression from 60 big blinds to 30 big blinds as late registration closes without extending the registration window.

Kyung Min Lee Set the Standard in Incheon

Paradise City already has a GOP Main Event champion waiting to be followed.

When the tour staged The Prophecy Unfolds – GOP Incheon 2026 in May, Kyung Min Lee came through a 356-entry Main Event field to claim the Black-and-Gold Gauntlet and KRW 148,280,000.

The first GOP Incheon festival attracted 2,433 entries and awarded more than USD 1.6 million across the series, giving GOP a strong foundation for its return to Paradise City .

Since then, the tour has continued through Manila and most recently Taipei. The The Trial of Wisdom – GOP Taipei 2026 recorded 2,796 entries across 77 events, with Yu Jui Chen defeating a 520-entry Main Event field for NTD 2,761,600.

Now attention turns back to Incheon as another field prepares to chase the tour’s most recognizable trophy.

Five GOP Gauntlets Up for Grabs

The Main Event is only one of five tournaments carrying one of GOP’s signature Gauntlets.

Four high-stakes events complete the collection, beginning with the KRW 5.5 million Titan Stack High Roller on October 30 to 31.

The KRW 6.6 million GOP High Roller follows on November 1 to 2, before two of the biggest buy-ins of the festival arrive during Main Event week. The KRW 14.7 million Demigods Challenge runs on November 3, while the KRW 10.6 million GOP Super High Roller takes place from November 4 to 5.

Together with the Main Event, those four tournaments give players five chances to leave Paradise City with one of the wearable trophies that have become a defining part of the GOP tour.

The GOP Rewards Program will also return for the four Gauntlet High Roller events, continuing the player-first promotion that first launched at the previous Incheon stop.

Eligible players who register in advance can also unlock event-specific rewards, including KRW 250,000 for the Titan Stack High Roller, KRW 300,000 for the GOP High Roller, KRW 350,000 for the Demigods Challenge and KRW 300,000 for the GOP Super High Roller. Rewards apply to the first qualifying entry and require advance registration.

76 Events Across Ten Days

The Labyrinth Trail stretches well beyond its headline Hold’em tournaments.

The festival opens on October 30 with the KRW 440,000 GOP Olympians, which carries a KRW 40 million guarantee, while the multi-day Titan Stack begins on November 1 at KRW 660,000.

Players looking beyond No-Limit Hold’em will find Pot-Limit Omaha, Big O, Omaha Dealer’s Choice, Triple Draw and other mixed formats spread throughout the schedule, alongside bounty tournaments, Turbo and Hyper Turbo events and the Aphrodite’s Event for women.

The final weekend brings the KRW 770,000 Mini Main on November 7 to 8, before the KRW 1.1 million Kraken Stack helps close the festival on November 8.

Players can view every tournament, buy-in and starting time on the full GOP Incheon II schedule .

Player of the Series Returns

Consistency across the full ten days will also be rewarded through the GOP Player of the Series race.

Points are calculated using a base score determined by event category, combined with the number of buy-ins won. Players must record at least three cashes during the festival to qualify for the leaderboard.

The eventual Player of the Series champion will receive the GOP Crown Trophy and USD 1,500 in tournament credits. Second place earns USD 1,000 in credits, with USD 500 going to third.

The latest GOP stop showed how quickly the leaderboard can develop. Shi Rong Wang recorded seven cashes at The Trial of Wisdom in Taipei to secure the Player of the Series title before the tour turned its attention toward Incheon.

Back to Paradise City

Part of GOP Incheon’s appeal remains the venue itself.

Paradise City sits just minutes from Incheon International Airport, allowing international players to move from arrival to the resort without a lengthy journey across the city.

The integrated resort combines the tournament venue with accommodation, restaurants, shopping, entertainment and wellness facilities, making it particularly suited to a ten-day festival where players may be moving between tournaments throughout the week.

Players planning a trip can find more information on the resort, poker room and local logistics in the Somuchpoker Paradise City Incheon guide .

GOP Incheon II Begins October 30

With 76 events, five GOP Gauntlets, the returning Rewards Program and a more accessible KRW 600 million guaranteed Main Event, the tour’s second Incheon stop of the year gives players another ten days to make their mark before the 2026 GOP season enters its final stretch.
