In the hotly-contested arena of live poker in Asia, a new challenger has appeared.
Infinity Poker has been unveiled as a new option for the continent’s growing legion of poker lovers, with the first tour stop scheduled to take place in March 2027, and the second planned for August 2027.
Infinity Poker Incheon 2027, the debut festival of this new UAE-based tournament brand, will run from March 5-14 at Paradise City, Incheon in South Korea, in collaboration with Pokerfors.
“We are delighted to welcome new players to Paradise City through this exciting partnership. We look forward to providing an exceptional experience for our guests, strengthening industry relationships, and creating new opportunities for continued growth and collaboration,” said Patrick Sangbae Jeon, Director of Poker Marketing at JST.
Full details of the 10-day, 114-event schedule are available here, with two tournaments in particular already catching our eye:
- The KRW 1.5M Main Event (~$1.1K, March 10-14) has a guaranteed prizepool of KRW 600M (~$450K).
- The KRW 450K Mini Main Event (~$340, March 5-14) has KRW 150M (~$113K) GTD.
The Mini Main will have 11 starting flights and promises to feature same-day payouts on each Day 1.
Make the top 15% and you’ll receive at least double your buy-in, with the top 5% also progressing to Day 2. You can play multiple starting flights and carry your best stack forward.
There’s KRW 800M GTD (~$600K) across the series as a whole, with other highlights including:
- $1,350 Mini High Roller (March 6)
- $2,700 High Roller (March 9)
- $1,700 PLO5 (March 10)
- $3,800 Super High Roller (March 11)
- $2,700 6-Max High Roller (March 13)
Online ‘Road to Infinity’ satellites are also planned, although details — including where they’ll take place — are being kept under wraps for now, but will be announced soon.
Also in the pipeline are another two stops in Asia during 2027 following the tour’s Korean debut, with more details on the way.
With another tour launching in 2027, live players in Asia are spoiled for choice.Who is Infinity Poker?
