What is on the schedule
The festival opens on Friday 11 December with the first of four flights of the NLH Single Re-entry, which carries a guaranteed prizepool of EUR 100,000 at EUR 170 plus a EUR 30 service fee. Its Day 2 is on Sunday 13 December.
The Main Event starts the same afternoon. It has five Day 1 flights spread across 13, 16 and 17 December, a Day 2 on Friday 18 December and a Day 3 final on Saturday 19 December. Holland Casino states that re-entry is unlimited, that Day 1 plays down to 12.5 per cent of the field, and that every player who reaches Day 2 is already in the money.
Around those two, the schedule carries a NLH Progressive Bounty over two days from 14 December, a Progressive meets Mystery event on 15 December, a Mystery Bounty on the closing Saturday, nightly hyper turbos at EUR 100 plus EUR 20, a run of re-entry events between EUR 100 and EUR 175, and a EUR 500 High Roller that starts on the Friday evening and finishes on the Saturday.
How buy-ins are printed
Every figure on the Holland Casino schedule is a buy-in plus a separate service fee, and both are charged on entry. The Main Event is EUR 270 plus EUR 30, the Single Re-entry opener EUR 170 plus EUR 30, the High Roller EUR 500 plus EUR 50. The totals shown on this page combine the two.
Reserving a seat
Holland Casino requires a reservation for every tournament, made online or at the venue. A tournament reservation can be cancelled up to one hour before the start, with the buy-in and service fee refunded less EUR 0.99 in cancellation costs.
