All you need to know about EUREKA Hamburg


The EUREKA Poker Tour, Europe’s premier regional tour with affordable buy-ins and big prizes, will return to Hamburg, Germany later this year.

Running from September 26 until October 3, 2023, this will be the first time the PokerStars tour has stopped in Hamburg since 2017 when it flew under the PokerStars Festival banner.

The event takes place at the Casino Schenefeld, just a short drive from Hamburg’s city centre. It’s the same location as the Road to PSPC event in September 2022 which proved very popular, attracting 877 entries for the €400 buy-in tournament.

EUREKA Hamburg is expected to be just as popular, with its €1,100 buy-in Main Event and €2,200 High Roller headlining the schedule, which will also include affordable side events.

Satellites for EUREKA Hamburg will start running on PokerStars soon, giving players ample opportunity to qualify and book their seats for cheap.

Plus, EUREKA Hamburg packages will be up for grabs.

The full EUREKA Hamburg schedule will be announced soon.
