A new 70-table poker room has opened at INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in Incheon as the venue hosts the World Poker Tour's Seoul festival. YY Poker Club began operations alongside the tournament schedule that runs from October 30 through November 9, 2026.
The World Poker Tour's venue announcement says the room includes a dedicated livestream studio and forms part of a new second-floor entertainment space. The development also contains the Ultra Lounge and four Daia rooms for high-stakes and private play.
The festival is the first tournament series staged in the new room. Its championship begins on November 5 with a KRW1.75 million buy-in and a KRW1 billion guaranteed prize pool, according to the current event site. Four opening flights lead into the final day on November 9.
PokerNews' opening report focused on the scale and design of the facility. The opening gives INSPIRE, which already operates South Korea's largest foreigner-only casino, a purpose-built venue for major poker events and broadcast production. The advance WPT announcement referred to 46 events, while the live event site currently lists 45, so the published schedule is the operative version.
