€500,000 Polish Poker Championship Main Event for Just €150 Coming This November! The biggest poker festival of 2026 at Banco Bratislava is approaching! The Polish Poker Championship 2026 will bring almost two action-packed weeks of poker, massive guarantees, and international competition from November 4–16. The undisputed highlight will be the €500,000 Main Event with a buy-in of just €150. Following last year's record-breaking edition, the goal is clear – to push the limits even further.
The Record of 7,740 Entries Is Up for Grabs Again
Last year's Polish Poker Championship made Banco Bratislava history with an incredible 7,740 entries. This year, the festival will have even more room to challenge that record.
The organizers are introducing a major change – the Polish Poker Championship has been extended by four days and will run all the way from November 4 to November 16. More playing days, more opportunities to qualify, and a Main Event with a massive €500,000 guarantee create the perfect conditions for another record-breaking turnout.
Can the magical 7,740-entry mark be broken in 2026?
€500,000 Main Event for Just €150
At the heart of the festival will traditionally be the Polish Poker Championship Main Event, offering an exceptional ratio between the buy-in and guaranteed prize pool. For an entry fee of just €150, players will compete for at least €500,000.
The combination of an affordable buy-in and a massive guarantee attracts huge fields year after year. Thousands of players from Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and other European countries are expected to make their way to Bratislava – from recreational players to experienced poker professionals.
New: Qualification Bonuses for Multiple Day 2 Advancements
The Polish Poker Championship will also introduce special bonuses for players who qualify for Day 2 of the Main Event multiple times.
- Qualify twice – receive a €500 bonus
- Qualify three times – receive a €1,500 bonus
This new feature will add even more excitement to the individual starting flights and give players extra motivation to battle for every chip.
Super High Roller, High Roller and Mystery Bounty
The Polish Poker Championship will be about much more than just the Main Event. Throughout the nearly two-week festival, players can look forward to a packed schedule of side events catering to a wide range of bankrolls.
Among the biggest highlights will be the €40,000 GTD Super High Roller with a €1,000 buy-in, while the High Roller will feature a €60,000 guarantee with a €400 buy-in.
The schedule will also include the popular €20,000 GTD Championship Mystery Bounty with a €50 + €50 buy-in, adding an exciting bounty element to the tournament action and giving players the opportunity to win significant rewards even before reaching the final table.
And that's only the beginning. The complete schedule will feature plenty of additional side events, satellites, and, of course, intense cash game action throughout the entire festival.
Road to Dubai – The Journey Towards the 10th Anniversary
Another exciting addition will be Road to Dubai. This special qualification will form part of the journey towards a spectacular 2027, when the Polish organization will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Road to Dubai adds another international dimension to the Polish Poker Championship and gives players a first glimpse of what the organizers are preparing for their milestone anniversary year.
