This year’s Circuito Nacional de Poker (CNP) Winamax season will conclude from November 12 to 23, 2026, with the CNP Winamax Grand Final. At the Grand Final at the Gran Madrid Casino Torrelodones, participants can look forward to a twelve-day program featuring numerous side events, a €1,100 high-roller tournament, and the €550 Main Event.
In 2025, the Grand Final set a new record with 2,684 participants. For the upcoming tournament, the organizers have now set a new goal: to surpass the 3,000-entry mark in the Main Event for the first time. The CNP Winamax Grand Final begins on Thursday, November 12, with the opening tournament. This will be followed by numerous tournaments—including the High Roller, 6 Max, Omaha, Dos Vidas, Mystery Bounty, El Cazador, Mini CNP, and Crazy Pineapple—as well as various accumulator satellites.
The CNP Winamax Main Event kicks off on Wednesday, November 18, with a buy-in of €550 and a starting stack of 50,000 chips. Players can enter the tournament on six starting days. The low-cost flight on Thursday evening offers a more affordable entry option. For €300, players receive 25,000 starting chips.
Organizers are expecting a new record number of participants
Following that, for the first time in a CNP Winamax Grand Final, there will be two separate Day 2 sessions. This decision stems from the fact that the organizer is expecting an unprecedented number of participants. Throughout the season, packages and tickets to the Grand Final were up for grabs at events organized by Laroush, as well as at Winamax and Megastack Poker.
Day 2A begins on Saturday, the 21st, at 12:00 p.m. and includes the qualifying rounds for Flights 1A, 1B, and 1D. On the same Saturday, at 5:00 p.m., Day 2B begins with the qualifying rounds for Flights 1C, 1E, and 1F. Late registration remains open in both Day 2 flights until the end of Level 13. The two groups will then be combined on Sunday, the 22nd, for Day 3. The grand finale takes place on Monday, November 23. In addition to the prize money, this year’s National Champion will receive a WSOP package.
The €1,100 High Roller begins on Monday, November 16, at 5:00 p.m. with 80,000 starting chips. On Saturday, November 21, the Mini CNP will begin at 9:00 p.m. with a buy-in of €250 and 50,000 starting chips, running concurrently with Day 2 of the Main Event. The tournament is aimed at players who want to participate in another major event after being eliminated from the Main Event.
