The next festival will have even more action, with highlights including a $2,500 Five-Card Bounty Welcome Event with a €300,000 guarantee, a €5,000 buy-in event with a €1 million guarantee.

Some events offer special features. For example, the two players with the most bullets in the €5,000 Day 1a Opener will each win a €10,000 Championship ticket.
There will also be an Early Bird bonus that will see players who register before the start of play getting a 10% increase to their starting stack, as well as a 5% bonus for players who register during the first level of play.
Like the previous stop, the hotel will be complimentary for all €5,000 and €10,000 players. Players who want to stay on-site at the venue should book quickly because rooms are filling up fast.
There will be a VIP terminal service available for all event participants. A driver will wait for players near the "Arena Casino Tournament" sign at the airport.
Anonymous Winner in November
Who won last month's €10,300 PLO Grand Slam Championship? That's a good question, as the winner only went by the alias "Benjamin N" and asked to remain anonymous. The same was true for runner-up "Phil Ejri" as both players were part of a four-way chop that also included Spain's Lautaro Guerra and Greece's Nikolaos Lampropoulos.
