WPT Seoul Brings 46 Events To Inspire

WPT Seoul will be staged at INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in Incheon, South Korea, from October 30 through November 9, 2026, with an 11-day schedule built around 46 events and a KRW 1,000,000,000 guaranteed Championship.

The festival marks WPT Seoul’s first appearance at INSPIRE, where the YY Poker Club will provide a 70-table tournament room and a dedicated livestream studio. The resort sits next to Incheon International Airport and also includes a 1,275-room hotel and a 15,000-seat arena.

INSPIRE Gives WPT Seoul a Larger Festival Base

The 2026 schedule is designed as a full festival rather than a single marquee tournament. Events begin on October 30 and continue through November 9, with side events, satellites and guaranteed events spread across the series.

Formats on the published schedule include Pot-Limit Omaha, bounty, freezeout, Mystery Bounty, Survivor Bounty, Big O, Turbo and Hyper Turbo tournaments. Satellite tournaments for the WPT Seoul INSPIRE Championship are also included.

Buy-ins listed on the schedule begin at KRW 300,000, while the upper end of the festival reaches KRW 8,000,000 for the Super High Roller. That range gives the stop a varied tournament profile across 46 events.

Championship Carries a KRW 1 Billion Guarantee

The WPT Seoul INSPIRE Championship is the central event of the series, with a KRW 1,750,000 buy-in and a KRW 1,000,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

The Championship opens with Day 1A on November 5, followed by another starting flight on November 6. Two additional flights, Day 1C and Day 1D, are scheduled for November 7. Day 2 is set for November 8, with the final day scheduled for November 9.

Before the Championship begins, the Championship Warm Up will run with starting flights on October 31 and Day 2 on November 1. That event carries a KRW 100,000,000 guarantee.

High Roller Events Add Weight to the Closing Stretch

The festival’s higher buy-in section includes a KRW 8,000,000 Super High Roller, a KRW 3,300,000 Mystery Bounty High Roller and a KRW 3,500,000 High Roller. Another High Roller scheduled for November 8 comes with a KRW 150,000,000 guarantee.

Those events place significant side-event action alongside the Championship’s late stages. November 8 is particularly dense, with Championship Day 2 and the KRW 150,000,000 guaranteed High Roller both on the schedule before the festival concludes on November 9.

With 46 events, multiple formats and a venue equipped for large-scale tournament operations, WPT Seoul’s INSPIRE edition is structured as one of the more comprehensive stops on the regional calendar for 2026.
