In the Main Event of 2018 there were some famous Belgian poker players itm. Sofie Thijs, Vincent Verdickt and Jerome Sgorrano did not make it to the final table. It was David Knafo, French, who took home the first place and € 50.000. In total there were 624 entries for the Main Event.

Father and son Verbraeken participated in the Pot Limit Omaha, together with 75 other poker players. Jorden Verbraeken has to leave the field as the sixth player, his father Jan Verbraeken decides to stay seated and collect all the chips. Jan Verbraeken wins the tourney for more than € 2.700.
