WPT Global is now a sponsor of KPC LIVE, the high-stakes cash game show from the KPC (King Poker Cup) brand. Season 7 started on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with a USD 100/200 No-Limit Hold’em Squid Multiplier game. KPC LIVE’s official website lists WPT Global as a partner (checked November 2026), and Game 1 of Season 7 is up on the show’s official YouTube channel. Somuchpoker first reported the deal on November 5.
The deal puts one of the online rooms that matters most to Asian cash-game players behind an Asian-run stream. That stream became well known this year for a pot reported at USD 5,029,000. Somuchpoker describes it as the biggest pot ever caught on camera, almost USD 2 million more than the previous mark set on Hustler Casino Live in 2023.
What is KPC LIVE?
KPC LIVE is a poker content brand under KPC that streams high-stakes cash games with invited professionals and recreational players. kpclive.com lists five earlier seasons, all filmed in Jeju in 2026 (S1 to S5). The site’s contact desk keeps GMT+8 office hours from a Hong Kong number. The record pot came from KPC’s Million Dollar Cash Game in Jeju. Somuchpoker reports the blinds were USD 1,000/2,000 with a USD 1,000,000 minimum buy-in, and Zuo “ST Wang” Wang’s ace-jack beat Aaron Zang’s jack-nine.

Who is playing and what are the stakes?
Somuchpoker reports that Season 7 is No-Limit Hold’em at USD 100/200 and USD 200/400 blinds, with three new “Unlimited Squid” formats. Each format mixes Squid stakes and multipliers differently. If the Squid side game is new to you, our Squid poker rules guide explains how it works. The reported lineup includes Tan Xuan, Ye Wang, Elton Tsang, Aaron Zang, Zuo “ST Wang” Wang, Peter and Xiao Yu. KPC has not published the full lineup on its own site, so expect changes from game to game.
What does WPT Global get from the deal?
WPT Global‘s branding goes on KPC’s cash game coverage. Somuchpoker also reports that selected Season 7 highlights will carry hand analysis from QuintAce, an AI coaching tool from AceGuardian that already offers hand reviews on WPT Global. Neither side has published the length or value of the deal. KPC reports 400 million cumulative impressions for its LIVE content across YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, X, Douyin and Bilibili. WPT Global gets a direct route to Chinese-speaking and wider Asian audiences, the same players behind its recent traffic growth (see WPT Global’s climb to No. 4).
