Dutch Open 2027 NLH Main Event — EUR 1,000 + EUR 100 freezeout
15 – 17 Jan 2027 · Holland Casino Breda, Netherlands
The Dutch Open Main Event costs EUR 1,000 plus a EUR 100 service fee and is a freezeout — one entry, no re-entry. It runs from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 January 2027 at Holland Casino Breda, and Holland Casino treats its winner as Dutch poker champion for the year ahead.
One bullet only
Most festival main events now allow at least one re-entry, and many allow unlimited. This one does not, and that shapes the whole tournament: with no second chance, early play is tighter, the field is smaller than the price alone would suggest, and survival through Day 1 is worth more than accumulating chips cheaply. It is also why the title carries weight — nobody buys their way deep.
The three days
Day 1 begins at 12:30 on Friday 15 January 2027. Day 2 follows at 12:30 on Saturday 16 January, running alongside the Highroller Day 1 and a Progressive Bounty. The final table plays from 14:00 on Sunday 17 January.
Getting in cheaper
A Main Event satellite runs at 19:30 on Thursday 14 January at EUR 180 plus a EUR 20 service fee, with EUR 70,000 of seats in play. For anyone who misses it or busts the Main Event, the Mini Main Event at EUR 500 plus EUR 50 starts on the Wednesday evening and the Last Chance at EUR 270 plus EUR 30 closes the series on Sunday at 18:00.
The title
Matthijs van den Broek is the reigning champion going into the 2027 edition. The series is Holland Casino's traditional close to the Dutch poker year, and the Dutch Open Cup final is decided earlier the same week.
