WPT Global Signs On as KPC LIVE Sponsor Ahead of Season 7
WPT Global has announced a sponsorship agreement with KPC LIVE, the high-stakes cash game brand that produced the biggest pot ever caught on camera earlier this year. KPC LIVE Season 7 launches on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, streaming on YouTube and Twitch.
The partnership sees WPT Global back the cash game coverage produced under the KPC banner, with Season 7 bringing full sessions, selected highlights and player-focused content to viewers.
KPC LIVE Season 7 Lineup and Schedule
Season 7 features No-Limit Hold’em cash games at blinds of USD 100/200 and USD 200/400. The updated lineup includes Tan Xuan, Ye Wang, Elton Tsang, Aaron Zang, Zuo “ST Wang” Wang, Peter and Xiao Yu.
New episodes air every Wednesday and Saturday at 11 PM Beijing time (15:00 UTC) on YouTube @KPC-LIVE and Twitch @kpcpoker.
The season will also introduce three Unlimited Squid formats. Each uses its own mix of Squid stakes and multiplier structures, adding a different layer to the standard cash game action.
The USD 5 Million Pot That Put KPC LIVE on the Map
KPC LIVE arrives at Season 7 with one of the most talked-about hands of the year already behind it. During KPC’s debut festival in Jeju, South Korea in January 2026, the KPC LIVE Million Dollar Cash Game ran at blinds of USD 1,000/2,000 with a minimum buy-in of USD 1,000,000.
One hand from that game built a pot of USD 5,029,000 between Zang and ST Wang, widely reported as the largest pot ever recorded on camera and almost USD 2 million clear of the previous mark set on Hustler Casino Live in 2023.
The hand went four ways after Wiktor Malinowski squeezed to USD 35,000 on the button. The king on the turn gave ST Wang Broadway with ace-jack, while Zang made a smaller straight with jack-nine.
Zang overbet USD 635,000, forcing Malinowski to fold two pair, and ST Wang called. When Zang bet the river, ST Wang moved all in and Zang called off, sending the record pot to ST Wang.
As the game was recorded rather than streamed live, the hand only reached the wider poker community when the episodes were released on YouTube in April. Watch the record-breaking USD 5 million pot here.
QuintAce Hand Analysis
Selected Season 7 highlights will include analysis from QuintAce, an AI-powered poker coaching platform built by AceGuardian. Using solver-based insights, QuintAce breaks down the strategic decisions made at the table and the alternative lines players could have taken.
Alongside the hands themselves, KPC LIVE coverage includes expert commentary, player interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, giving viewers the option to follow full sessions as they unfold or catch up through shorter highlights.
Reaching Poker Audiences Worldwide
Beyond YouTube and Twitch, KPC LIVE distributes content across Instagram, X, Douyin and Bilibili, covering both international and Chinese-language audiences. KPC reports that its LIVE content has generated 400 million cumulative impressions globally.
