  • Guarantees between €10,000 and €1,000,000

There are two tournaments with particularly large guaranteed prizes that will take place over three days:

  • €250 Main Event PKO €400,000 GTD: starts at 20:00 on January 18th, 2026.

There are two challenges to opt-in — and only players can decide which one to choose:

  1. Play 50 raked cash or ZOOM hands.
  2. Play 5 tournaments, including MTT, Spin&Go and Sit&Go.

Participating in any of these challenges will give players entry into the daily €10,000 All-in Shootout.
