The Icelandic Poker Championship
5th-9th November 2025
General info
The Icelandic Poker Championship has been held annually since 2009 so this year we’re celebrating a 16 year anniversary with the 17th edition of this event.
All events are open to all nationalities and the winner of the Main Event will win the title “Icelandic Poker Champion”. A PSÍ (Icelandic Poker Federation) membership is required for participation in all events organized by PSÍ.
All results from all events are posted to the Hendon Mob database.
