From May 27 to June 7, the PokerStars Open will take place at
Circus Casino Resort Namur. The €1,100 Main Event guarantees a prize pool of €1,000,000, with plenty of side events to enjoy.
The
premiere of PokerStars Open last year was more than successful. The million-euro guarantee was significantly exceeded, with 1,572 entries contributing to a massive pot of €1,493,400. Winner Jean-Vincent Lehut took home €238,000. The German-speaking players didn’t fare as well, with Hakan Orduzu as the last German finishing in 15th place. This year, many from the DACH region have already planned their trip to Namur to chase the trophy.The €1,100 Main Event will feature a total of seven flights from May 30 to June 3. The field will come together for Day 2 on June 4, during which late registration will remain open for two levels. Players will start with a chip stack of 30,000 chips, with level durations ranging from 60 to 20 minutes, depending on the flight. On Day 2, level durations will increase to 75 minutes; from Day 4 onwards, levels will be played in 90-minute increments.
