Following its record-breaking stop in Incheon, the Asian Poker Tour is wasting no time in maintaining its 2025 momentum. The focus now shifts to Jeju, where APT Jeju 2025 will run from September 26 to October 5 at Jeju Shinhwa World Resort. The festival brings together 103 tournaments with a combined guarantee of nearly KRW 4.9 billion.
Main Event – KRW 2.2 Billion Guaranteed
The flagship Main Event kicks off on September 28 with four starting flights before playing down to a champion on October 4. With a buy-in of KRW 2.6 million, the tournament promises a KRW 2.2 billion prize pool. The winner will raise the 24K Gold Lion Trophy, while the top three finishers also earn seats to the season-ending APT Championship Main Event.
High & Super High Roller Action
Big buy-in tournaments arrive early. The Superstar Challenge (KRW 35 million buy-in) takes place September 26–27, followed by the Baby Superstar Challenge with a KRW 10 million entry on September 29–30.
The KRW 15 million Super High Roller (Sept. 27–28) and the KRW 5 million High Roller (Oct. 4–5) headline the premium events, each expected to produce six-figure prize pools.
Mystery Bounty & Zodiac Classic
Two player favorites return: the Mystery Bounty, running September 27–28 with KRW 350 million guaranteed, and the Zodiac Classic, scheduled October 2–3 with KRW 500 million guaranteed. Both formats have consistently drawn large turnouts across the tour.
Mini & Micro Main Events
For players seeking lower buy-ins, the KRW 1 million Mini Main Event (Oct. 3–4) offers a KRW 300 million guarantee. The festival then concludes with the KRW 500,000 Micro Main Event on October 5.
Seats to the APT Championship
In addition to prize pools, APT Jeju 2025 will award seven seats to the $5 million guaranteed APT Championship Main Event. Tickets go to the winners of the Main Event, Super High Roller, High Roller, Superstar Challenge, and Zodiac Classic, while the top three Main Event finishers will also secure their spots.
With a packed schedule, diverse formats, and major titles on the line, APT Jeju 2025 promises to be one of the biggest poker festivals ever staged in South Korea.
