MCOP 2026 Main Event — EUR 2,750 No Limit Hold'em
17 – 21 Nov 2026 · Holland Casino Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Main Event of the 34th Master Classics of Poker, and the tournament most Dutch players measure their year by. EUR 2,750 plus a EUR 250 service fee, so EUR 3,000 all in.
Two Day 1 flights run at 15:00 on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 November 2026. From there it is one of the longest finishes of any European festival tournament at this price: Day 2 on Thursday 19 November at 12:30, Day 3 on Friday the 20th at 12:30, and Day 4, the final day, on Saturday 21 November at 14:00. Four playing days after the flights is a structure normally reserved for far bigger buy-ins, and it is what makes the event worth travelling for rather than firing one bullet at.
Getting in for less
Holland Casino runs a EUR 400 plus EUR 40 "NLH Satellite Main-Event Win Your Seat @80K" five times: at 21:00 on 13, 16 and 17 November and at 12:30 on 17 and 18 November. The two 12:30 satellites on the flight days themselves are the late route — win one and you are seated at 15:00 the same afternoon.
Seats must be reserved online in advance; Holland Casino does not treat this as a walk-up event.
