European Short Handed Poker Championships - Winamax Poker Open 24th - 28th Sept 2014

rekoJ

The biggest 6-Max tournament in Europe is back in Dublin at The Regency Hotel in September for it's 6th instalment. Once again we expect a huge field as for the 5th year in a row the event is sponsored by Winamax, we are expecting prizepools to be in excess of €650,000

In 2012 there were 818 players in the main event, this grew to 1086 in 2013 and again this year we expect an increase in numbers, whilst we have upped capacity from last year there is every chance that we might sell out on Day 1B so early registration is recommended.
