Xuan Liu Joins KPC Poker as Brand Ambassador

KPC Poker has added one of the game’s most recognizable names to its lineup ahead of Jeju, announcing Xuan Liu as the tour’s newest brand ambassador.

The Canadian poker star has accumulated more than USD 4 million in live tournament earnings and has continued to add major results in 2026.

Jeju has already been a particularly profitable stop for Liu this year. She finished runner-up in the USD 30,000 Triton 8-Handed event in September for USD 638,000, one of the biggest scores of her career.

KPC Poker says Liu will take part in key tournaments during the October festival, giving players the opportunity to share the tables with its newest representative.

Mixed Games Player of the Series Format and Rewards Revealed

KPC Poker and the Mixed Asian Poker Series (MAPS) have now released the full format for the Mixed Games Player of the Series.

Rather than ending with the leaderboard alone, the competition will send the top six points scorers into a dedicated final table on October 17 at 11:45 a.m.

Players can collect points by cashing in designated mixed-game tournaments across the series. The scoring system takes into account the event weighting, number of entries and finishing position, with 22 designated events contributing towards the race.

Points are calculated using the formula Event Index × (Total Entries / Finishing Place)^0.5, with the Mixed Game Team Event Championship using a separate scoring method.

Starting stacks at the six-player final table will range from 400,000 to 1,000,000.

The six qualifiers will then face a Dealer’s Choice final incorporating as many as 33 poker variants.

There is also a separate prize pool for the final table. It begins with KRW 3 million and is supplemented by an amount equal to 0.7% of the combined buy-ins from the designated mixed-game events.

The eventual winner will collect 40% of that prize pool and receive a custom KPC Poker gold bracelet.

The October schedule gives mixed-game players plenty of opportunities to build points, including the Omaha Mix Championship, FL Stud Mix, Mixed Game Team Event Championship, Triple Draw Mix Championship and Poker Players Championship.

KPC Results Can Unlock a Seat in KRW 50M JPF Cash Reward Match

The October festival will also provide another route into the upcoming Jeju Poker Festival 2026 , which begins at the same venue on October 28.

KPC Poker has also revealed qualification criteria for the 2026 JPF Cash Reward Match, which will take place on October 28 and offer up to KRW 50 million in rewards.

Finishing in the top nine of the KPC Bankroll Builder, KPC Main Event, Mini High Roller or Monster Stack will earn players qualification.

A separate group of tournaments offers another route, with the winner of selected mixed-game and No-Limit Hold’em side events also earning a place.

Among those qualifying tournaments are the Omaha Mix Championship, FL Stud Mix, Mixed Game Team Event Championship, Triple Draw Mix Championship, Big O Classic and Poker Players Championship. Selected Head Hunter, Deep Stack, Freezeout, Heads-Up, Turbo and Single Re-entry events also award qualification to the winner.

Seats are non-transferable and reserved for the players who earn them. The final prize allocation will be determined based on the number of participants once registration closes.

The Jeju Poker Festival 2026 preview has more information on the October 28 to November 11 festival, which brings KPC Poker and the Red Dragon Poker Tour together at LES A Casino.

Early Bird Discount and Extra Hotel Rooms

Players arriving early can still benefit from one of the simpler promotions attached to the series.

Selected tournaments marked with a gift symbol on the official schedule offer a 50% discount on the administration fee to players who register and are seated before the scheduled starting time.

KPC Poker has also released an additional limited allocation of hotel rooms for players traveling to Jeju. Availability is limited, with players advised to contact KPC Poker VIP Customer Service directly for current booking options.
