Table of Contents
All you need to know about the Eureka Rozvadov festival, running March 13-20
The PokerStars’ Eureka 2023 season kicks off in March with a return to Europe’s largest poker room: King’s Casino in Rozvadov.
Running from March 13 to 20, the Eureka festival features the three staples of the tour that make it so popular with poker players across Europe and further afield: the €330 buy-in Eureka Cup, a €2,200 buy-in High Roller event, and a massive €1 million guaranteed Main Event.
But that’s not all. While the full schedule is yet to be finalised, there will also be a range of side events running alongside the big three, headlined by a €440 buy-in PLO Eureka Championship. Plus, as one of the continent’s premier poker venues, you’ll find cash games running around the clock.
Recent turnouts at PokerStars Live events have far surpassed expectations and if last year’s event in Rozvadov is anything to go by, this festival is going to be huge.
Check out the full details of Eureka Rozvadov here.
