It will be a long, hot summer for poker players in Europe, regardless of the weather.

You already know about the epic event in Malaga in June, combining the best of the UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) and Estrellas Poker Tour (ESPT).

But now PokerStars has unveiled four new live events across Europe. Events in Germany, Spain, Cyprus and the UK are on the cards, each perfect for recreational players looking to get involved in the action. 

With buy-ins to suit players of all abilities and a real community feel, these events are not to be missed. 

And thanks to Power Path and a host of other qualification methods, you shouldn’t have to.

Summer of Satellites

Who doesn’t love a discount? Satellites to Lex Live, Eureka Hamburg, The Goliath and ESPT/UKIPT Malaga are all running now on PokerStars, meaning you could pick up a bargain summer holiday and qualify for a fraction of the price. Remember also that Power Path is an additional route to Lex Live, Eureka Hamburg and ESPT/UKIPT Malaga.

And it’s with Malaga that we need to start. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday (May 19th) there are €162 direct qualifiers with at least one package, worth €3,000, up for grabs. That package will give you entry to the €1,100 Main Event, seven nights accommodation for you and a guest at the Sunset Beach Club Hotel and €370 towards travel costs. If €162 sounds a bit steep, then the good news is that there sub-satellite price points to suit all pockets, with freebuy satellites available and other routes starting at just €1.10 or $0.50 with Power Path.

The summer of fun starts with ESPT/UKIPT Malaga, which runs June 10-16.

Live It Up At Lex Live

Lex Live Logo

Barcelona is synonymous with PokerStars live events, with it being the ‘home of the first flop’. Whilst the EPT will be heading there in August, a month prior the incredibly popular Lex Live will pitch up at Casino Barcelona. The community driven poker event will be about the off table fun as much as the poker, but if you want to lock up your seat to the €440 Main Event for less, then you can.

Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday there’s a direct €109 satellite. Midweek those satellites guarantee one seat + expenses, whilst at the weekend there’s two packages guaranteed, which again include hotel and expenses. Feeder satellites to the direct qualifiers are available at €1.10, €5.50 and €11.

Eureka! Head To Hamburg This July

We’ve no doubt there are some of you eyeing up the double header of Eureka Hamburg followed by Lex Live, with just a two day gap between the end of Eureka Hamburg and Lex Live. If you’re a multi-tabler you could also win seats to both events on the same night, as Eureka Hamburg satellites also run every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. As with Lex Live the direct buy-in is €109. Tuesday and Thursday’s qualifiers guarantee one €1,500 package, whilst on Sunday that’s bumped up to three packages. Naturally there are feeder satellites, which start at just €1.10.

Sent To Coventry

This year PokerStars are supporting The Goliath, which will be held in Coventry July 25-August 4th.

This behemoth of a tournament always draws a massive field, there were 11,493 entries in 2023, with Alex Todd turning a £120 buy-in into more than £176,000. That’s some ROI%. This year the Main Event costs £200 to enter, but you can qualify for less on PokerStars.

Every night at 20:30 CET you’ll find a £22 satellite running on PokerStars, these are all seat only qualifiers and you can win your seat to that via £2.20 sub satellites.

Here are all the details about this incredible summer line-up.

Lex Live branding in Barcelona

Lex Live is more than just a poker festival…

Here’s an event more than four years in the making.

After two incredibly popular editions of Lex Live (one in Namur, the next in London), the stage was set for a third Lex Live way back in 2020. But then the world shut down.

Now here we are in 2024 and Lex, his team and PokerStars are thrilled to reveal that Lex Live is heading to beautiful Barcelona this summer, and everyone is invited – especially those in Lex’s community.

The event takes place at Casino Barcelona (the same venue as the European Poker Tour!) from July 9-15, 2024.

A Lex Live festival is way more than just a poker event. It’s a community meet-up, a city break, and a summer holiday complete with sun, sea and sand.

Come for the poker and the affordable €440 Main Event, but stay for the atmosphere, the off-the-felt activities (parties, player lounges, games), and the friendly vibes. 

Event: Lex Live Barcelona
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Venue: Casino Barcelona
Dates: July 9-15, 2024
