August 23, 2019

Belgium is preparing for one of the largest poker tournaments of the year: the Unibet Poker Belgian Championship at the casino of Blankenberge. Famous Belgian player and tournament director Kenny Hallaert will be the director of tournament for the fourth year in a row. Starting August 29th until September 1st the casino will be transformed in every poker player’s dream with more than enough seats for everyone that wants to play poker.

Apart from the Main Event with multiple starting days there will be a lot of side event action, such as a Ladies Event (#QueenRules), a Deepstack and a Progressive Super Knockout. And of course there are a bunch of cash game options at the casino of Blankenberge.

Christophe De Meulder wins Main Event UPBC 2018

Last year Christophe De Meulder was the winner of the Main Event. He took home a little over 40.000 euros. In 2017 the winner Heinrich Pauker beat 456 other players. After making a heads-up deal with Vincent Verdickt both players took home a little over 30.000 euros. In 2016, which was the first edition of UPBC, Fabrice Lestrade won 40.000 euros.

Awesome campaign

Pokahnights is setting up an awesome campaign. Before the new room was introduced there were some Qualifiers and now, ever since the room was open, Pokahnights organises live qualifiers to send as much players as possible to the Belgian sea to play along with the exclusive Main Event of Unibet Poker Belgian Championship 2019. Right now over 30 players have qualified.

You can also join in! This Sunday in Circus Poker Club Antwerp the final is played. Don’t forget: you can only participate when you’ve won a ticket during one of the qualifiers.

Final 2 Qualifiers on 23 and 24 August 2019

Not a qualifier ticket yet? Tonight at 22h30 you have another chance, and Saturday at 22h. The five remaining players in each Qualifier receive a ticket that will give them access to the grand Final.

Added value in the Unibet Special!

As if that wasn’t enough already Pokahnights decided to organise a Unibet Special this Saturday. In the tournament of 14h there’s a lot of added value. The winner of the Bigstack receives a ticket straight to the Main Event of UPBC 2019, worth 550 euros! The ladies aren’t forgotten either, because the 3 best ladies win a ticket for the Ladies Event of the UPBC. And even better: the entire final table (so 9 players) can participate in the final on Sunday.
