Landing Casino Gears Up For the Massive Jeju Poker Festival
Table Of Contents
For the first time in Asian poker history, three major brands are coming together and creating a massive tournament series. The 2024 Jeju Poker Festival takes place at Landing Casino, Jeju, South Korea, between November 15 and December 1, and sees the World Poker Tour (WPT), the Korea Poker Cup, and Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) run exciting festivals back-to-back-to-back!
WPT Korea (November 15-22)
The Jeju Poker Festival bursts into life with WPT Korea, which runs November 15-22. Among the 28 WPT Korea events is the eagerly anticipated WPT Korea Main Event, which costs KRW2,500,000 ($1,800). The WPT is massive in South Korea, as the March 2024 stop proved.
In March 2024, the WPT ran a Main Event costing KRW2,800,000 to enter. Including re-entries, the total attendance stood at 1,065, resulting in a prize pool the equivalent of $1,926,886. Hungary’s Mate Hanusi came out on top and raked in $322,567 for his efforts. Expect similar numbers this time around.
The biggest buy-in WPT Korea event is a two-day Super High Roller starting November 20, which commands a KRW16,000,000 ($11,500) buy-in.
