General info

The Icelandic Poker Championship has been held annually since 2009 so this year we’re celebrating a 17 year anniversary with the 18th 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.

This year’s venue is the historic and iconic Hotel Borg, located right in the heart of Reykjavik at the parliament park, Austurvöllur.

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 the Icelandic PLO championship, followed up by two days of MEGA satellites on Monday and Tuesday where one extra ticket will be added each day and then a grand opening side event on the Wednesday featuring ADDED prizes from Coolbet and PSÍ.
