WSOP Goes Global: Super Circuit Brand Expands to Rozvadov and Punta Cana

Last Updated on September 8, 2026 by Bala Kumar

The World Series of Poker isn’t slowing down. Fresh off a record-breaking debut in Canada, the WSOP has officially announced its next two international stops for the Super Circuit brand — and both come with serious money on the line. Starting this fall and rolling into early next year, poker players around the world will have two brand-new destinations to circle on their calendars: Rozvadov, Czech Republic, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

The Announcement

The news came out of Las Vegas on September 7, confirming that the WSOP is expanding its international footprint with two new Super Circuit festivals — one in Europe, one in Latin America. Both events are set to carry marquee Main Events with guaranteed prize pools of $2 million or more, a clear signal that the WSOP sees the Super Circuit format as more than a one-off experiment. It’s becoming a genuine global movement.

First Stop: WSOP Super Circuit KINGS in Rozvadov

The first of the two new festivals will bring the WSOP Circuit spotlight back to one of Europe’s most storied poker venues. WSOP Super Circuit KINGS will run at King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, from October 28 through November 11, 2026.

For longtime poker fans, King’s Casino needs no introduction. Sitting near the Czech Republic’s border with Germany, the venue has hosted countless WSOP Circuit festivals over the years and became the official home of WSOP Europe back in 2017. That partnership produced some legendary moments — record-breaking Main Events, enormous prize pools, and championship wins for some of the biggest names in the game. Even after WSOP Europe shifted its home to Prague in 2026, King’s Casino stayed closely tied to the brand as a primary sponsor, and now it’s stepping into a new chapter as the host of Super Circuit KINGS.

The centerpiece of the festival will be a €3,000 buy-in Main Event carrying a massive €2,000,000 guarantee. Given King’s Casino’s track record of drawing huge international fields, that guarantee is expected to pull in players from across Europe and beyond, all chasing one of the WSOP Circuit’s coveted gold rings and a life-changing score.

Second Stop: WSOP Super Circuit LATAM Debuts in Punta Cana

Just as the European leg wraps up, the WSOP will set its sights on the Caribbean for a true first: WSOP Super Circuit LATAM, running January 24 through February 2, 2027, at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

This one is historic on two fronts. Not only is it the Super Circuit brand’s debut in Latin America, but it also marks the very first time the Hard Rock property in Punta Cana has hosted an official WSOP event. That’s a big deal for a region with a passionate and rapidly growing poker community that hasn’t had a stage of this size to call its own.

The festival’s marquee event will be a $3,500 buy-in Main Event with a $2,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. A seven-figure guarantee immediately puts this tournament among the most significant on the entire regional calendar, and it gives players across Latin America, the Caribbean, and North America a serious incentive to book a trip to the Dominican Republic for the inaugural running.

Riding the Momentum from Canada

None of this expansion happens in a vacuum. The timing of the announcement lines up directly with the ongoing success of the inaugural WSOP Super Circuit Canada, currently underway at Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, Quebec, running August 26 through September 12, 2026.

That series has quietly rewritten the record books. With 18 WSOP Circuit ring events and more than CA$14 million in advertised guarantees, the Canadian festival’s headline CA$5,000 Main Event carried a CA$10 million guarantee — and it didn’t just hit that number, it blew past it. The event has already been recognized as the largest poker tournament in Canadian history, and it also produced the biggest single-flight turnout ever recorded for a CA$5,000-or-more buy-in tournament anywhere in the country.

The success wasn’t limited to the Main Event either. Earlier in the series, Playground’s CA$500 Mini Main Event pulled in 3,484 entries, setting another major venue record and proving that the appetite for this festival format stretches across every buy-in level, not just the high-stakes marquee events.

It’s exactly this kind of performance that appears to have given WSOP officials the confidence to keep expanding the Super Circuit brand into new territory. Canada showed that when you combine a prestigious ring series with an accessible buy-in structure and a headline-grabbing guarantee, players will show up in numbers nobody expected.

What This Means for the Global Poker Calendar

Taken together, these announcements paint a clear picture of where the WSOP is heading. The Super Circuit brand is no longer just an occasional stop — it’s becoming a structured, growing international series that pairs established poker destinations with untapped markets. Rozvadov brings decades of European poker pedigree and a built-in fan base. Punta Cana brings something entirely new: a resort-destination event aimed at a region that’s been hungry for a stage this big.

Between the two new festivals, players now have two more opportunities to chase a $2 million-plus guarantee and a WSOP Circuit gold ring, on top of everything already on the calendar. For grinders who like to build their year around travel-friendly festivals, this is a meaningful addition — a European fall stop followed by a Caribbean winter getaway, both offering the kind of guarantees that used to be reserved for only the biggest festivals on the calendar.

Looking Ahead

As the dust continues to settle in Canada and the Main Event there moves toward its own final table, all eyes will soon shift toward Rozvadov, where King’s Casino will look to deliver another chapter in its long WSOP history. From there, the poker world turns its attention to the Caribbean for a debut event that could set the tone for years of WSOP presence in Latin America.

One thing is clear: the Super Circuit brand is no longer testing the waters. It’s expanding with intention, and players around the world are taking notice.

More details on registration, satellite schedules, and full structure sheets for both WSOP Super Circuit KINGS and WSOP Super Circuit LATAM are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
