Gods of Poker (GOP) will hold GOP Incheon 2026 II, “The Labyrinth Trail”, at Paradise City in Incheon, South Korea, from October 30 to November 8, 2026. The 76-event schedule is built around a GOP Main Event with a ₩600,000,000 guarantee. Its buy-in is ₩1,430,000, and the first flight is rake-free at ₩1,300,000.
This is GOP’s second stop at Paradise City this year. According to Somuchpoker’s announcement coverage, the first Incheon festival in May drew 2,433 entries. Kyung Min Lee won that Main Event from a 356-entry field for ₩148,280,000. The Main Event buy-in at that stop was ₩2.2 million, so this edition is cheaper to enter.

Who can play at GOP Incheon?
GOP Incheon is open to foreign passport holders only. Paradise City’s casino is a foreigner-only venue, so Korean nationals are refused entry, apart from a narrow exception for citizens with overseas residency status. Players must be at least 19 and must bring their original passport, because photos and scans are not accepted. Our Paradise City poker room guide explains what to bring and how entry works. The resort is a few minutes from Incheon International Airport, so it is easy to reach from Bangkok, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo or Taipei.
All start times are Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). That is two hours ahead of Bangkok and Jakarta, and one hour ahead of Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. For other live stops this autumn, see our poker events calendar.
