PokerNews’ Live Reporting team is joining the Winamax Poker Open in time for the eagerly anticipated Main Event that takes place between May 11-15.

This is the first live Winamax Poker Open since September 2019 when it stopped off in Dublin, Ireland. A record crowd of 1,389 players bought in on that occasion and Philippe Guillou outlasted them all, turning his €500 investment into €70,000 after a four-way del with a trio of other Frenchman.
