With just 10 days to go, the spotlight is firmly on Jeju Island as TLPT Jeju 2026 prepares to get underway from May 15 to May 25 at LES A Casino inside Jeju Shinhwa World.

The upcoming festival is shaping up as one of the most ambitious stops on the TLPT calendar, with a projected $8 million in total prize pools and a schedule built to attract players of all skill levels.

$1.5M Guaranteed Main Event Headlines the Series

At the center of the series is the TLPT Circuit Main Event, featuring a $1,000 buy-in and a $1,500,000 guaranteed prize pool.

The event is expected to draw a strong international field, combining an accessible buy-in with a prize pool that sits comfortably among the biggest mid-stakes tournaments in the region.

Strong High Roller Presence

While the Main Event anchors the schedule, TLPT Jeju 2026 also leans heavily into high-stakes action, with several High Roller events designed to bring elite-level competition to the festival.

These events form a key part of the series, offering bigger buy-ins and deeper prize pools for players looking to compete at the top end of the schedule.

Clear and Transparent Fee Structure

One of the standout features of TLPT events continues to be its transparent fee model.

Fees for each event are universal across the schedule. For High Roller events, the total fee is 7%, made up of a 4% service fee and a 3% staff fee. Circuit events follow a similar approach, with a total fee of 13%, split between a 10% service fee and a 3% staff fee.

This structure removes ambiguity and gives players a clear understanding of where their money is going before they register.

A Growing Poker Hub in Jeju

Held at LES A Casino, a venue that has quickly become a central hub for major Asian poker festivals, TLPT Jeju 2026 continues to build on the island’s growing reputation as a premier poker destination.

With multiple international tours now regularly hosting events in Jeju, the location offers a mix of high-end facilities, strong player pools, and a consistent festival atmosphere.

Final Countdown Begins

With the series now just 10 days away, anticipation is building across the region. A strong schedule, significant guarantees, and a clear focus on player transparency have positioned TLPT Jeju 2026 as one of the standout festivals of the season.

All that remains is for the cards to go in the air.
