Knock-out Friday — MERKUR Spielbank Braunschweig (last Friday monthly)
30 Oct – 31 Dec 2026 · MERKUR Spielbank Braunschweig, Germany
The biggest of Braunschweig's three monthly tournaments is a bounty event on the last Friday of each month. The house publishes it as €110 plus a €40 bounty plus €15 Taxe, which comes to €165 to sit down, and allows one re-entry up to the end of level 6.
In a bounty format part of each entry is attached to the player rather than the prize pool, so knocking someone out pays immediately in cash. At €40 of a €165 entry, roughly a quarter of the money is in bounties, which makes busting other players a meaningful part of the return rather than a side bonus.
Registration is by email to the Braunschweig poker desk. The house's daily cash game is No Limit Hold'em €2/€4, with Pot Limit Omaha €5/€5 on Saturdays, but cash tables open later on tournament days. Minimum age in Lower Saxony is 21.
