The Icelandic Poker Championship
13th-17th November 2024

The Icelandic Poker Championship has been held annually since 2009 so this year we’re celebrating a 15 year anniversary with the 16th 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.

The venue is Hugaríþróttafélagið, one of Iceland’s premier poker clubs with up to 10 tables, featuring daily tournaments and 100/200 games (ISK).

Note that the Main Event is a freeze-out (no re-entries) but all side events have unlimited re-entries.

This year we will open with a MEGA satellite on the Tuesday and then a grand side event on the Wednesday featuring ADDED prizes from Coolbet and PSÍ, a €1600 package to The Festival and a ticket to the Icelandic Championship Main Event.
