Won Poker Cup II

The first edition of the Won Poker Cup took place earlier this year in July with a Main Event field that gathered 404 entries for a total prize pool of $600,000. Players from all over attended, that included a strong showing of Vietnamese and Chinese players. In the end, Hong Jing Ke from China emerged as the champion for $97,100 after defeating Australia’s Armon Van Wijk in heads-up ($60,000).

The second installment of the flagship tournament, which is set to run from November 26 until December 2, 2024, returns once again with a $600,000 guarantee.

With a buy in of $1,220, the Main Event features a total of seven different starting days from November 26 to 30. Each of the flights will play down to the money with level durations of 40 minutes each and 20 minute levels for the final turbo heat. On December 1, all players in the money return to try and reach the final table on the last day of the festival.

The marquee tournament is joined by several other key events. It all kicks off with the Warm Up Event, which has a $565 buy-in and boasts a $80,000 guarantee throughout three flights on November 24. One day later, the $565 buy-in Mystery Bounty Event gets underway with the first of two Day 1. All participants will battle for a share of at least $100,000 guaranteed.

Deeper pockets are required for the $5,000 W High Roller on November 28 as well as the $2,300 Single Day High Roller on November 29, both of which have combined guarantees of $250,000. Last but not least, the schedule is rounded up by the bargain $340 Mini Main Event and its $50,000 guarantee. Other Side Events include a PLO Turbo, Ladies Event and mix of fast-paced one day tournaments.
