Korea Poker Cup Back In Jeju For Second Edition At Landing Casino Feat. ₩1.36 Billlion
Cards are officially in the air as the Korea Poker Cup makes its highly anticipated return to Jeju Island for its second edition. The weeklong festival is now underway at the Landing Casino inside the Jeju Shinhwa World Resort with games running from today June 17 to 23, 2025.
Korea Poker Cup 2 Underway
Following a successful standalone debut last April, the Korea Poker Cup, sponsored by QQPK, wasted no time in solidifying its place on the regional calendar. This latest installment has a slightly larger lineup with 27 trophies up for grabs. And, that’s not the only thing that has been boosted. The festival guarantee is up as well to KR₩ 1.36 Billion which is just shy of a million US dollars.
KPC Main Event
Headlining the games is the KR₩ 880,000,000 (~USD 637,480) Main Event which is up ten percent more than the previous guarantee. As one of the fastest growing brands, players can expect this figure to be surpassed as it did during its inaugural edition that saw a prize pool of KR₩ 1.3 Billion (~USD 917,705). The event runs from June 18 to 23 with six entry flights and buy-in at KR₩ 1,300,000 (~USD 940).
To spice up the action, KPC is offering a lucrative bonus for players that qualify for Day 2 multiple times. The more flights one survives, the bigger the reward.
Bonus for Advancing Multiple Day 1 Flights:
- Advance in 2 flights: KR₩ 4,000,000
- Advance in 3 flights: KR₩ 11,500,000
- Advance in 4 flights: KR₩ 23,000,000
Opening Day
The tables are now buzzing with the popular Jeju Mystery Bounty which features a KR₩ 180 Million (~USD 132K) guarantee. This figure has also increased an added ₩30M. At the time of publishing, registration for the first flight had closed with a hefty 170 entries. Late comers have plenty of time to jump in with the second flight registration closing at 6:40pm and the last flight registration closing at just past midnight. Buy-in is KR₩ 900,000 (~USD 660).
