Originally from the Lake District, UK, I’ve spent the last few years living and breathing the Southeast Asian poker circuit. Since 2025, I’ve been a fixture on the floor at the APT, PokerStars, and WSOP events, serving as a lead reporter and media specialist for Somuchpoker. My work is about more than just recording action; I manage the social media and digital content that brings action rail to the fans. By combining a business education and creative background, I aim to look past the technical hand histories to capture the actual human grit and drama that happens during a deep run.

The global poker calendar has taken a sudden hit this week with two major international series announcing significant changes to their upcoming schedules. Players and travellers are advised to check their bookings following a cancellation regarding the WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus event and a venue-related postponement in South Korea .

WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus Cancelled

In a brief statement released today, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) officially announced the cancellation of the WSOP Super Circuit Cyprus, which was slated to run from April 25 to May 11, 2026.

Organizers cited “ongoing uncertainties in the region” as the primary driver behind the decision. While the announcement remains somewhat broad, the tour emphasized that the safety of players, staff, and partners remains the top priority. There are currently no immediate plans for a rescheduled date, with the tour expressing hope to return to the region only when “conditions allow.”

Super Cup Seoul Postponed Due to Venue Issues

WSOP Super Circuit — The official statement from Super Cup

Meanwhile, in Asia, the Super Cup Seoul has also been pulled from its original slot, though for entirely different reasons. The Organizing Committee has made the decision to postpone the event after a final inspection of the venue determined it was unsuitable for tournament play.

According to the official notice, essential requirements, such as electrical work, facility repairs, and drainage construction, did not meet the standards necessary for a “safe and stable event operation.”

The committee is currently scouting a new venue and expects to announce an updated schedule through their official channels by the end of March. For now, the Seoul event remains in postponed while organisers finalise a more reliable location.

Stay tuned to Somuchpoker for further updates as these schedules develop.
