NSOP Arequipa 2026 Start Up PKO
12 Oct 2026 · Arequipa, Peru
Arequipa's week opens with a cheap progressive knockout.
When and how much
15:00 on Monday 12 October 2026, 200 soles. Re-entry and an add-on are both available, and the double costs 400 soles — the only event of the week besides the PLO5 PKO with an add-on on offer.
What a PKO plays like
Part of each entry becomes a bounty on that player's head. Knock them out and you take half of it in cash immediately; the other half is added to your own bounty, which makes you a bigger target with every elimination. The practical effect is looser calling early and a prize pool that rewards aggression rather than patience.
No guarantee
The organiser published a guarantee only for the Main Event. This one plays for whatever the field builds.
