Table Of Contents
The PokerStars Eureka Poker Tour heads to Hamburg, Germany, for the fourth time in its history and for the second consecutive year starting July 1. The week-long festival features a €1,100 buy-in Main Event, a €2,200 High Roller, a €330 Eureka Cup, and a special GRND tournament in partnership with PokerStars Team Pro Felix Schneiders.
Eureka Hamburg takes place at Spielbank Schenefeld from July 1-7. The €330 buy-in Eureka Cup kicks off matters, serving as the perfect warm-up for the rest of the festival. Last year, 609 players bought into the Eureka Hamburg Cup and created a €173,565 prize pool. Denmark's Brian Klindrup came out on top of a predominately German field, and captured a €23,310 top prize after a five-way deal.
The €1,100 Eureka Hamburg Main Event features a trio of flights and three days overall. Tom Holke won the inaugural Eureka Hamburg Main Event in 2015, besting 580 opponents and scooping €107,920.
Dinesh Alt won €69,120 in 2016, with Amir Mozaffarian getting his hands on €123,780 when this event last ran in September 2023.
A €2,200 High Roller shuffles up and deals when the Main Event reaches Day 2. This tournament has seen Tobias Peters (€37,548), George Danzer (€34,330), and Konstantin Faerber (€46,000) crowned champions over the years.
Wrapping up the stop is a€170 GRND Deep Stack Special, part of the aforementioned Schneiders' GRND On Tour live events.
