The Main Event is a freezeout
That matters more than the price. No re-entry means one bullet, which is unusual on a modern festival schedule and is the reason Holland Casino treats the winner as a national champion rather than simply a tournament winner. Day 1 starts at 12:30 on Friday 15 January, Day 2 at 12:30 on the Saturday, and the final table from 14:00 on Sunday 17 January.
The rest of the week
The Dutch Open Cup reaches its conclusion first: its Day 2 on Wednesday 13 January and Day 3 at 19:00 on Thursday 14 January, with EUR 150,000 guaranteed across the whole tournament.
The Mini Main Event is the cheaper route to a two-day run, EUR 500 plus a EUR 50 service fee, starting 19:00 on Wednesday 13 January. A Main Event satellite at EUR 180 plus EUR 20 plays on the Thursday evening with seats worth EUR 70,000 in play.
The largest buy-in of the week is the two-day Highroller at EUR 2,000 plus a EUR 200 service fee, starting 19:00 on Saturday 16 January. A Progressive Bounty at EUR 500 plus EUR 70 runs over the same two days, and a Mystery Bounty at EUR 400 plus EUR 60 opens the final Sunday.
Three hyper turbos at EUR 180 plus EUR 20 fill the late evenings of 12, 14 and 15 January, and a EUR 270 plus EUR 30 Last Chance closes the series at 18:00 on Sunday 17 January.
What you actually pay
Every figure Holland Casino publishes is a buy-in plus a separate service fee, both charged on entry: the Main Event is EUR 1,100 in total, the Highroller EUR 2,200, the Mini Main Event EUR 550. A reservation is required and can be cancelled up to one hour before the start, refunded less EUR 0.99.
