The Red Dragon Poker Tour has announced RDPT PLUS Jeju Summer , marking the second edition of the RDPT PLUS series following its debut earlier this year. Running from July 8–19 at Les A Casino , the festival continues the tour’s “Poker Elevated” concept through upgraded player experience, deeper structures, and a championship-focused schedule.

The July edition will again be headlined by the Red Dragon Plus Championship, carrying a KRW 1.8 billion guaranteed prize pool. Organizers have also confirmed that the full series will feature 92 events, with the complete schedule expected to be released shortly.

RDPT PLUS Builds on Strong April Debut

The RDPT PLUS series in April generated more than USD 9 million in total payouts across the festival, equivalent to over KRW 12 billion. The Red Dragon Plus Championship alone generated a prize pool of KRW 3.2 billion, with over KRW 500 million awarded to the winner , helping deliver a strong opening result for the upgraded RDPT PLUS concept in Jeju.

The series attracted players from across Asia and overseas, with strong turnout throughout both the championship event and high roller schedule. The response helped reinforce RDPT PLUS as one of the stronger festivals on the Asian poker calendar.

Following the strong turnout and prize pool figures from April, the July edition now builds on that momentum with a larger schedule and the return of several headline events.

Key Events Released Ahead of Full 92-Event Schedule

While the complete 92-event schedule is expected to be released soon, RDPT has already unveiled a preview of several headline tournaments to help players begin planning their summer trip to Jeju.

The Red Dragon Plus Championship once again serves as the centerpiece of the festival with its KRW 1.8 billion guarantee, while the high roller lineup continues to form a major part of the series identity. Returning events such as the Dragon’s Gate High Roller, Red Dragon Prestige High Roller, Super U Challenge, and Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller are all set to feature during the summer stop.

The schedule will also introduce the new Dragon Fire 6K High Roller, carrying a USD 6,000 buy-in as part of the expanded high roller lineup for July.

The Red Dragon Team Event has also been confirmed for the summer schedule, returning with the same format used previously. Players interested in participating can contact RDPT’s official channels for additional details.

High Roller Players Offered Early Registration Incentives

RDPT PLUS Jeju Summer will also introduce an added incentive for players registering early for selected high roller events.

For High Roller tournaments with buy-ins of KRW 5 million and above, the first 10 players to register and take their seats before the scheduled start time will receive a 50% admin fee refund. The offer rewards players who commit to the schedule early while adding another incentive around the festival’s upgraded high roller lineup.

The promotion gives players additional reason to finalize plans ahead of the July series.
