The wait is finally over. It’s time for the 2025 Greek Poker Odyssea, powered by NoviBet. June 23-29, the Regency Casino Thessaloniki is the place to be; highlighted by a €600 Main Event, this is perhaps the culmination of live poker in Greece this year. What’s even better is that poker.pro will be on-site for the whole shebang, delivering frequent live updates and daily recaps from this golden nugget of a live poker event.
€600 Main Event Takes the Cake
Get ready for seven days in poker paradise. Playing live poker in Thessaloniki should be every poker player’s dream; it’s an absolute stellar environment in an exotic paradise. Of course, the sublime tournament schedule also helps in making this a poker dream week.
Undoubtedly, the €600 Main Event will be the star of the show. Many people have already secured their seats to the prestigious tournament through the various online satellites; all signs point to this being a massive poker tournament. During a recent event at Regency Casino Thessaloniki, the Novibet Poker Series, the €600 Main Event exceeded a €300,000 prize pool. Similar numbers are to be expected this week.
The starting stack of the tournament will be 100,000. Since the first level is 300/500 with a 500 Ante, players will start with 200 Big Blinds; a very nice, deep structure that allows players to put all their poker skills on full display. Late registration will be open until the conclusion of Level 11. Unlimited re-entries will also be possible during this time.
