ZSOP: The Rising Horse Heads to Jeju for First-Ever Korea Stop with KRW 1.55B GTD
The
Zodiac Series of Poker (ZSOP)
makes its Jeju debut from June 4 to 15, 2026, with
ZSOP: The Rising Horse
, which is set to run at
Les A Casino
, Jeju Island, South Korea. The series carries a KRW 1,550,000,000 guaranteed prize pool across a 12-day festival headlined by the Zodiac Horse Main Event, a KRW 400,000,000 guaranteed tournament with a KRW 1,500,000 buy-in.
About ZSOP
ZSOP has built a distinct identity on the Asian circuit, anchoring each stop around the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac. Every Zodiac event title carries a zodiac name, and winners receive meticulously crafted zodiac trophies, each one unique to its sign. The concept runs deeper than branding: ZSOP positions itself as a full poker getaway, blending competitive play with a festival atmosphere that appeals to recreational players and high-stakes regulars alike.
The series paid out over TWD 91.6 million across 66 events at its March 2026 edition , with the Zodiac Events alone generating a combined prize pool of over USD 2.26 million. Jeju marks the fifth edition overall and the brand’s first stop on the island.
Key Highlights
The Rising Horse features 15% ITM across all events, giving players a broader path to the money than many regional tours. The full schedule runs across 12 days with multiple flight structures on the major guaranteed events, and a Player Party on the evening of June 13.
The series is sponsored by DeepRun and hosted at Les A Casino, the same venue anchoring several other major Asian circuit stops in Jeju this summer.
