The Big Wrap Returns to Kings Resort in September and It's Bigger Than Ever
Table Of Contents
Kings Resort in Rozvadoz, Czech Republic, is where you need to head this September if you are a fan of high-stakes Pot-Limit Omaha action. Kings are once again hosting The Big Wrap series, and it is bigger and better than ever before.
The Big Wrap runs from September 12-18 at Europe's largest cardroom. Seven Pot-Limit Omaha events plus a handful of satellites are scheduled, and some of those tournaments are massive in terms of buy-ins and guaranteed prize pools.
What better way to start the latest Big Wrap festival than with a €5,000 buy-in, €500,000 guaranteed event? A similar tournament took place at The Big Wrap in March 2023 and saw Hungary's Gergo Nagy outlast 86 entrants to take home €114,706. The guarantee was "only" €200,000 that day, so expect a much more substantial top prize this time around.

Two Events With Seven-Figure Guarantees
Following the €5,000 buy-in event is a €10,000 buy-in affair known as The Big Wrap Diamond 10K PLO High Roller. Kings Resort is expecting a substantial turnout for this tournament, as is evident by the massive €2,000,000 guarantee the casino has slapped on the prize pool. The equivalent event earlier this year guaranteed €500,000, but a 142-strong field ensured €1,308,530 was paid out. A player choosing to remain anonymous took home €337,000 for their victory. Can you imagine the size of first-place prize money with a €2 million guaranteed prize pool?
Amazingly, that is not the only seven-figure guarantee on The Big Wrap's schedule because another €10,000 buy-in High Roller is set to pay not a cent less than €1,000,000.
The €500,000 Guaranteed Big Wrap Main Event
The Big Wrap Main Event comes with a more affordable yet still substantial €2,350 buy-in, and an enticing €500,000 guaranteed prize pool. There are several €330 buy-in satellites taking place at Kings Resorts before and while the Main Event is running if you want to take a shot at the big time.
This exact tournament previously ran from March 31 and saw 199 players re-enter 101 times, creating a €627,000 prize pool as a result. An anonymous player came out on top and turned their €2,350 investment into a €132,600 haul.
Bounty hunters will be pleased to learn there are two bounty events scheduled. One is a €2,200 buy-in €100,000 guaranteed 5-Card PLO tournament with €1,000 bounties on the heads of each player. The other may be a little out of most players' reach because it commands a €25,000 buy-in, and has €10,000 bounties throughout!
