The Star Sydney Reinstates Poker Leadership, Confirms 2026 WPT Australia and Super Stacks Events
The Star Sydney has announced the reinstatement of its poker leadership and confirmed the 2026 WPT Australia and Super Stacks events, marking a full return to its poker operations.
According to industry sources, The Star Sydney has reinstated its poker department leadership and officially confirmed that it will host the World Poker Tour (WPT) Australia and Super Stacks events in 2026. This move signals that the casino is actively reshaping its poker operations and returning to the international poker stage.
WPT Australia is a key stop for the WPT in the Asia-Pacific region, historically attracting top poker players from around the globe. Super Stacks is The Star Sydney's traditional flagship poker series, known for its high buy-ins and rich tournament structures. The confirmation of both events has injected a strong boost of confidence into the Australian poker community.
Previously, The Star Sydney had temporarily paused some poker operations due to regulatory issues. Now, with the reinstatement of leadership and the scheduling of 2026 events, this is seen as a critical step in revitalizing its poker brand after compliance restructuring. Specific dates and schedule details have yet to be announced but are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
Poker industry observers believe that The Star Sydney's return will further solidify Australia's position as a poker hub in the Asia-Pacific region and add a highlight to the 2026 poker calendar.
