CAPT Million 2026

CAPT Million takes the place of CAPT Baden in 2026: twelve days at Casino Baden from 19 to 30 November, EUR 1,000,000 guaranteed, on a EUR 500 + 50 buy-in.

The format

EUR 500 + 50 buys in, and the guarantee is EUR 1,000,000. Casinos Austria advertises a minimum cash of around EUR 1,500 with about ten per cent of the field paid. Day 1 flights are offered at five different speeds, with 60, 45, 30, 20 and 15-minute levels, so the same tournament can be played as a deep weekend event or a turbo. Day 2 on 28 November and Day 3 on the 29th both run 60-minute levels, and the final table on 30 November plays 60- and 90-minute levels.

Qualifying from anywhere in Austria

This is what separates CAPT Million from a single-venue festival: satellites and Day 1 flights have been running in Casinos Austria houses across the country since September 2026, so a seat can be won in Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Velden or Vienna and carried to Baden. Qualify twice and the "best stack forward" rule applies, with a EUR 4,000 bonus attached. Satellites for the Baden side events begin on 16 November, and the official opening event on 19 November is the CAPT Million Mega Satellite.

Side events

During the CAPT Million week Casino Baden also runs a pot-limit Omaha special, a high roller and a mystery bounty, alongside daily cash games. Structures for the individual side events are published in the operator's poker calendar.

Practical notes

Casino Baden is in Kaiser-Franz-Ring in Baden, about half an hour south of Vienna. Entry to an Austrian casino requires photo identification and the house visiting rules apply.
