WPT Cambodia Championship announced as Festival to return to NagaWorld Integrated Resort

The World Poker Tour is set to return to Cambodia in February 2025.

Last year, the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup made its debut trip to Southeast Asia when NagaWorld Integrated Resort hosted the first-ever WPT Cambodia Championship and 2025 will see the addition of WPT Prime Cambodia to the tournament schedule.

The festival will run February 6-24, with the $3,500 WPT Cambodia Championship set to be the standout event from February 19-24 with a $1.5 million guaranteed prize pool - an increase on last year’s $1m guarantee.

WPT CEO Adam Pliska said: "Our festivals in Cambodia at NagaWorld have immortalized some amazing moments from record-breaking fields to the Sexton Cup’s first appearance in Southeast Asia.

"Look forward to more momentous times to come as we combine the prestige and size of both the WPT Cambodia Championship and WPT Prime Cambodia into one grand festival."

Scheduled for February 14-18, the $1,100 buy-in WPT Prime Cambodia will come with a $750,000 guarantee and will play down directly ahead of the Main Tour Championship.

In total, the WPT Cambodia festival will boast more than $3 million in guaranteed prize money and will run more than 60 tournaments, marking the longest World Poker Tour festival in Asia to date.
