Announcement 2nd edition

We’re announcing the second edition of the MEC Poker Open. This edition will be held 4-7 april in Spa.

The first edition of the MEC Poker Open (October 2018) was a huge succes. The Main Event attracted almost 600 entries which is huge for a new event with only 2 starting days and all side events were almost sold out! The second edition of the MEC Poker Open will be a bigger event with a €175,- Main Event, a €440,- Highroller and several side events. 

Important information

The second edition have some big changes. The main-event is now 4 days long instead of the previous 3 days. So expect a bigger pricepool! That also means that you can enter the tournament on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Day 2 will be held at Sunday.

The buy-in for the main-event is €175,- and there are several side-events during The MEC Poker Open. Fancy a tournament with a higher buy-in? No problem! We’re introducing the High-Roller with a buy-in of €440,-. Besides the high-roller there are several tournaments under the €100,- including a new unlimited re-entry tournament of €35,- .

Buy your tickets monday 28 january at 20:00

The sale starts at monday 20:00! Last year there were more than 580 players registered in the main-event. This time we expect even more players. 

Blind structure | Join the community!

There’re some changes regarding the blind structure. The starting stack remains the same 25.000, but the first level is 25 / 50 instead of the previous 50 / 100. The late registration ends at level 7. Last year this meant the blinds were 300 / 600, but this edition it will be 200 / 400 and the day ends with 1.500 / 3.000. This means a better structure for the players and more room for some nice moves at day 1.

But… we’re thinking of something new. Mathijs Jonkers says:” Last year the structure of day 1 ended with the blinds 2.000 / 4.000. We noticed that at the end of day 1 players were very close of entering the money. Because the main-event contains multiple days, this was something we didn’t want and expected. That’s why we decided to play level 2.000 / 4.000 at day 2 instead of being the last level of day 1. 

When talking about it with Evert-Jan van IJzendoorn, we came up with a new idea. Instead of the 15% rule for players to finishing in the money, we say that if you proceed to day 2, you’re guaranteed a place in the money! We think it will be nice for all the players that if they make day 2, they’re guarenteed of finishing in the money.

If we proceed with this idea, the level 2.000 / 4.000 will take place at day 1 and possibly level 2.500 / 5.000 also. We expect that around 15% of the players will make the money, but the idea of making it to day 2 and making it to the money is something players will love. It also means that there is more room at day 2.
 
We’re very curious about the opinions of the MEC Poker Open community. Please join our discussion in the Facebook groups. We’ll discuss the feedback from the players and will make a definitive desicion based on the opinions of the community. “

Important announcement day 1B!

Dear players,
As you have seen today the first ever MEC Poker Open is a huge succes. The casino is loaded! First of all we want to thank all the players for their support by playing this tournament.
Please let us know whenever you have any feedback on the organization. We appreciate it.
For tomorrow we have an important announcement for Day 1B.
Day 1B has only 18 free places left, because of cancelled tickets in the last weeks. We didn’t offer these tickets again on the website.
For tomorrow we have a maximum of 60 places on the waiting list available. This means that a total of 78 players will be able to have a ticket or place on the waiting list tomorrow.
To guarantee fairness to all players: 
  • The tournament area and registration will open at 12.00
  • All players who arrive earlier at the casino are requested to make one nice queue. Please don’t skip the line and don’t reserve any places for friends in the queue. This is not possible!
  • The first 18 players in the line are able to buy their ticket and start at the tournament
  • The next 60 players will be on the waiting list. (we cannot guarantee a seat in the tournament for players on the waiting list).
  • For the rest of the players it is not possible to enter the main event.
All the players who already bought their ticket for day 1B are asked to be on time at the casino. The casino registration process takes a while. We are asking you to be here around 13.00.
During the evening we have a NLHE Side Event. This event will probably changed to a Freeze out (so without re-entries). But a final announcement about the Side Event will follow on our facebook group.
