While the World Poker Tour (WPT) has been busy in the United States recently reaching the final tables of stops at both Seminole Hard Rock and Choctaw Durant (Bin Weng is chip leader at both of those by the way), they’ve also added an amazing international stop this summer.

WPT Korea will take over the Jeju Shinhwa World from July 17-21 with a schedule that includes a ₩3,400,000 (~$2,550 US) Main Event, and a ₩17,000,000 (~$127,350 US) Alpha8 for One Drop event.

The two-day Alpha8 event begins on July 23. The One Drop Foundation will receive a portion of the entry fee from the event to continue its mission of ensuring sustainable access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene for communities facing extreme barriers.

Also, on the schedule is a ₩17,000,000 (~$12,735 US) High Roller which begins on July 21.

“Hosting the World Poker Tour gives us another opportunity to showcase our five-star amenities and amazing city,” said Jenny Lim, Landing Entertainment Korea at Jeju Shinhwa World Chief Marketing Officer. “We invite poker players from around the world to join us this summer for an amazing two weeks.”

WPT Korea Schedule

The 18-event festival schedule begins with preliminary events and a Main Event Satellite on July 15 while the first of three starting flights of the WPT Korea Main Event is scheduled for July 17 and carries a ₩2,000,000,000 (~$1.5 Million US) guarantee.

Satellites for the marquee events will run daily, including a five-seat guarantee for the Main Event which will utilize the Milestone format popularized at the 2022 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.

Poker fans around the world will be able to watch a live stream of both the ₩3,400,000 Main Event and the ₩17,000,000 (~$12,735 US) High Roller on WPT YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook pages.
