Why this event is unusual
Sviten Special is a Scandinavian mixed game that alternates a draw round with community cards and is normally played for pot limit, with a split-pot element in some house versions. It is a fixture of Swedish home and club games and almost never appears as a named championship on an international festival schedule, so a 350 euro Sviten event in Dublin is a genuine curiosity rather than a filler.
Because house rules for the game vary more than they do for hold'em or Omaha, the exact variant and betting structure matter here more than usual. The organiser had not published the 2027 structure sheet when we read its schedule page, so anyone travelling for this event should ask which version is being dealt.
The rest of the mixed schedule
The 2027 festival also lists an 8-Game Championship at 350 euro, an 8-Game High Roller at 1,150 euro, H.O.R.S.E. at 350 euro, a 2-7 Triple Draw Championship at 350 euro, a Stud Championship at 350 euro, OFC Pineapple at 350 euro and a Triathlon Championship at 350 euro. For a festival whose headline events are all no-limit hold'em, that is a deep non-hold'em programme.
