The Victorian Poker Championship Series is back. In October, the legendary Crown Casino in Melbourne will host a 16‑day poker festival.
Spring is a lovely time to visit Australia. And if you can combine your trip down under with some poker action, even better. From 12 to 27 October, the Victorian Poker Championship will be played at Crown Casino Melbourne.
The schedule offers 21 events. Side events start at $485. For players with a bigger bankroll, there is the 5k NLH and PLO Challenge (each with a buy‑in of roughly $3,450), plus the $7,350 Super High Roller. Plenty of satellites are on offer, starting at $170.
But it’s not just NLH and PLO on the menu. HORSE, 8‑Game, Deuce‑to‑Seven Triple Draw, PLO8, and Mystery Bounty are all scheduled. The Victorian Poker Championship 2026 kicks off with the $870 Opening Event. Four flights are available. The same number of Day 1s is available for the $1,750 Victorian Champs Main Event.
