No MEC Poker Open in April

Klik hier om het artikel in het Vlaams te lezen >>

Unfortunately, the organization is not able to organize a MEC Poker Open in April 2022. Casino de Spa is not able to get a sufficient number of croupiers, because many of them have started to do other work during the corona pandemic. For a casino that does not have a large established poker room with its own croupiers, it is extremely difficult to get enough staff for a poker festival like the MEC Poker Open at this time.

Players who purchased or won a ticket for the April 2020 live edition have received an email about what will happen to their ticket or package.

PREPERATION FOR OCTOBER EDITION

The organization is very sorry that it is not possible to organize a MEC Poker Open in April, but is now focusing on a new edition of the MEC Poker Open in October this year. As soon as more information is available we will inform you.

MEC Poker Open Online cancelled for November

Klik hier om het artikel in het Vlaams te lezen >>

Unfortunately there will be no online edition of the MEC Poker Open in the month of November. The reason for this is that the contract extension with Bwin fell through at the last minute, which means that the MEC Poker Open cannot organize an online event.

“Our preference was for a physical MEC Poker Open,” says co-founder of the MEC Poker Open Mathijs Jonkers. “Unfortunately, that still turned out to be very uncertain. Measures in the Netherlands and Belgium were relaxed only in the last weeks, which made the preparation of the MEC Poker Open more difficult. Therefore we wanted to organize an online variant. For a long time it seemed like the sponsorship contract with Bwin would be extended, but unfortunately this is not the case. Therefore, the MEC Poker Open currently has no sponsor where the event can take place online. We want to thank Bwin for the cooperation of recent years and maybe there will be another cooperation in the future.”

LIVE IN APRIL 2022

More time for us to organize the first live edition of the MEC Poker Open after corona. Please note in your calendar: 21-24 April 2022 at Casino de Spa. We can’t wait to meet you all again!

Players who bought or won a ticket for the live edition in April 2020 will receive an email that their ticket or package will be transferred to the live edition in April 2022.

Yesterday the final day of the $109 Highroller was played! There were 34 players who qualified for the final battle, which could be followed via a livestream all evening! Would you like to see the footage again?

Watch the livestream here

All players ITM, 4-way deal at the end

All players who started Day 2 were guaranteed the min-cash worth $188.40. After about 3 hours of play, we were ready for the final table. Here, Calvin Swanenberg in particular distinguished himself. He had accumulated almost 14 million chips by the time he reached the final 4 players.

After a few hands, the remaining 4 players decided to discuss a deal. In the end, this was done after (most likely) using an ICM calculator. This meant that the title went to chip leader Calvin Swanenberg!

Next edition MEC Poker Open

This MEC Poker Open Online was a special edition. We are again very grateful that we were able to organise a pleasant poker experience despite the corona troubles. For this we thank our main sponsor Bwin, but of course also all the players who took part in the event.

We know that most of you would love to play at Casino de Spa again next time. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee this yet, so we will keep you updated on the next MEC Poker Open via the website and social media.

Whether the next edition will be live or online, put 14-18 October 2021 in your agenda just to be sure 😉
