The inaugural Won Poker Cup festival is rapidly approaching, scheduled to take place from July 24 to 29, 2024 at the Won Majestic Casino in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Boasting a bold USD 600,000 guarantee, it is one of the most eagerly anticipated events in Southeast Asia. With less than a month to go, minor changes have been announced. Here’s a review of the newly released information and what to look forward to.

The games open on July 24 with the two-day Won Poker Cup Warm Up featuring a USD 100,000 guaranteed prize pool.
