Phnom Penh, Cambodia (February 15, 2023) – WPT® Prime returns to Cambodia for a second-consecutive year, and WPT Ambassadors Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen are bringing back their renowned Meet-Up Game (MUG) to the southeast Asia destination.
“Last year’s Cambodia festival saw a tremendous turnout at the beautiful NagaWorld Resort,” said Adam Pliska, WPT CEO. “We look forward to another thriving series and having our ambassadors Brad and Andrew onsite to host one of their famous MUGs for players and fans.”
The MUG is set to commence at 1:00 p.m. on March 15, one day before the $1,100 buy-in WPT Prime Cambodia main event.

Following the action, Brad and Andrew will hold a Meet & Greet from 8:30 – 10:00 p.m., which will include a spread of complimentary food and drinks.
“I had the pleasure of traveling to Cambodia last year, and it was an unforgettable experience with great food, great people, and great poker,” said Neeme. “I’m happy to have the opportunity to return and excited to run back the Meet-Up Game.”
“After hearing about Andrew’s time in Cambodia, I really wanted to make the trip as well. I couldn’t let him have all the fun.” said Owen. “The MUG is going to be a great time and I’m also pumped to play some tournament poker in Cambodia for the first time.”
