From October 22 to 26, 2025, the prestigious Tana delle Tigri poker festival is back at the iconic Perla Poker Room, promising five days of intense action, strategy, and high-stakes drama. Known for attracting both seasoned pros and passionate amateurs, this edition offers a guaranteed prize pool of €250,000 for the whole festival, plus a packed schedule of side events and cash games that will keep the action going until the early hours.
Looking at the Main Event
The €500 Tana delle Tigri Main Event is the centrepiece of the festival, boasting a €130,000 guarantee and a structure designed to give players room to maneuver. The action begins on October 24 with Day 1 and continues through to the Final Day on October 26, where one player will walk away with the lion’s share of the prize pool and the title of champion.
Players will start with a generous 40,000-chip stack, with levels increasing from 30 to 60 minutes over the tournament’s duration. Late registration remains open for the first 11 levels, allowing flexibility for those who want to enter fashionably late. The atmosphere, as always, will blend competition with camaraderie, making Tana delle Tigri one of the most anticipated stops on the poker calendar.
It seems that the man to beat is Italian Diego Testa, who has pulled off an incredible back-to-back by winning two Tana delle Tigri Main Events in a row. His first triumph came last October at Banco Casino Bratislava, where he topped a massive 943-entry field to take home €23,500 after a four-way deal, in a tournament that even needed an overlay to meet its prize pool. He then proved it was no fluke by conquering the 28th edition at this venue at Perla Nova Gorica in April, outlasting 347 players in the €500 buy-in Main Event and banking €20,720 after a five-way deal.
