PokerNews Cup Finix Casino Main Event Details
The highlight of the festival, the €100,000 guaranteed PokerNews Cup €550 Main Event, is just around the corner, set to run from May 15-19.
Players will have plenty of opportunities to build a monster stack starting off with 50,000 in chips and unlimited reentries permitted during each of the four opening flights on May 15-17. The first three flights feature 30-minute blind levels while the final opening flight is a turbo affair with 15-minute blind levels.
The action on each opening day continues until just 15 percent of the field remains, at which time all players will already be in the money. Players that successfully bag chips on Day 1 will battle it out in a deeper structure of 40-minute blind levels on May 18-19 until the thirteenth PokerNews Cup Main Event champion is crowned.
