Holland Casino waives the EUR 300 High Roller service fee at this year's Master Classics — but only until 6 November

Holland Casino has published the full programme for the 34th edition of the Master Classics of Poker, the Netherlands' longest-running poker festival, which takes over the Amsterdam Centrum venue for nine days from Friday 13 to Saturday 21 November 2026.

The headline for anyone playing at the top of the schedule is a deadline rather than a prize. The casino is waiving the EUR 300 service fee on its two High Roller events — the EUR 4,700 PLO Highroller 6-Max that opens the festival on 13 November and the EUR 5,700 NLH Highroller 8-Max on 20 November — for tickets reserved before Friday 6 November. That is a straight reduction in what it costs to sit down, not a bonus or a prize-pool addition, and it lapses on the date given.

What the programme looks like

The festival opens with the EUR 1,500 NLH re-entry event at 12:30 on 13 November and closes with the Main Event's fourth day on 21 November. In between the schedule carries the EUR 2,750 Main Event with Day 1 flights on 17 and 18 November, two- and three-day Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha events, progressive and mystery bounties, hyper turbos from EUR 300, satellites into both the Main Event and the High Roller, and a EUR 500 team event on the closing night.

Cash games run alongside the tournaments from 13:00 each day, in both No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha, from limits of 2-2 upward. Those seats are booked at the venue rather than online.

Reservations

Holland Casino requires a reservation for both tournaments and cash games, which is worth knowing before travelling: a seat is not something to turn up and hope for.

Poker-in.com has no commercial relationship with Holland Casino and earns nothing from this festival. The figures above are the ones the operator publishes on its own event page, read on 28 October 2026.
