Festival Schedule and Event Lineup

The action-packed Sixers Series kicks off on October 13 with the first of two days in a €220 No-Limit Hold’em event known as the Niners. This exciting opening event sets the tone for a week defined by shorthanded play, which appeals to players looking to sharpen their aggressive poker player types and playing styles at the felt. Following the opener, a €1,200 buy-in High Roller takes center stage on October 14, leading directly into the multi-day €660 Main Event, which commences on October 15.

As the Main Event field battles down toward the final table, several side events will keep the tournament floor buzzing. Competitors can jump into a €230 NLHE Progressive Knockout, a €335 Mystery Bounty, and a fast-paced €220 Closer tournament.

The €150,000 Guaranteed Main Event

While all of the Sixers Series tournaments will be fiercely fought, it is the Main Event that everyone will have their eye on. Costing €660 to enter, the Sixers Main Event comes with a lucrative €150,000 guarantee on its prize pool.

All participants, whether they buy in directly or secure their seats through the plentiful €125 buy-in satellites, sit down with a generous starting stack of 50,000 chips. Structure-wise, blinds increase every 45 minutes on Day 1a and Day 1b, while Day 1c features a brisk 20-minute turbo structure. Players looking for soft fields and plenty of action can also find great value online at platforms like TigerGaming (https://record.commissionkings.ag/_UYRRhwVLnqtca0BxI2r31WNd7ZgqdRLk/18623/). Unlimited re-entries are permitted until the start of Level 15, ensuring plenty of room for action.

Looking Back at Previous Success

In October 2024, Casino Barcelona ran a similar €660 NLHE Sixers Main Event that proved immensely popular. That previous installment generated a €159,660 prize pool after attracting nearly 300 entries. The competition at the top was fierce, with the top four finishers walking away with at least €10,500 each, while an anonymous champion claimed the top prize of €30,000 for their €660 investment.

With another robust schedule and a €150,000 guarantee attached to the marquee tournament, the Sixers Poker Series is quickly establishing itself as a must-visit festival for tournament grinders.
