King’s Resort Boasts a Cool €3.7 Million in Guarantees Across Three July Festivals

With an impressive €3.7 million guaranteed across three festivals, tournament grinders should head to King’s Resort, Rozvadov, throughout July. There’s €200,000 guaranteed during the German Championship of Poker (GCOP), another €500,000 in the German Clubs Championship of Poker (GCCOP), and €3 million across the Euro Poker Million (EPM).

€200,000 Guaranteed German Championship of Poker

The German Championship of Poker (GCOP) runs from July 6-13 at King’s Resort, Rozvadov. The majority of the €300,000 worth of guaranteed prize pools is reserved for the €200 buy-in GCOP Main Event.

At least €200,000 will be won by those finishing in the money during the €200 GCOP Main Event. It features nine starting flights plus a Flip & Go Pineapple Day 1, for a total of 10 chances to progress to Day 2.

Each traditional flight plays down to 10% of the field, with the money reached when 15% of the field remains. Players who advance to Day 2 do so with a €400 min-cash in tow.

€3,000,000 Guaranteed Euro Poker Million

Running from July 14-27, the 2026 edition of the Euro Poker Million (EPM) has a massive €3 million guarantee, €1 million more than in 2025, despite retaining the same €590 buy-in. Last year, including re-entries, 5,303 entries were processed, and a €2,635,454 prize pool was created. Italian Lulei Hu scooped a cool €381,350 after a heads-up deal with fellow Italian Fabio Giamberadini (€271,350).

The EPM Main Event has 80-minute levels on each of Day 1a and 1b, with those Day 1s split into two parts. Part 1 ends after the completion of eight levels, with surviving players combining for Part 2.

There are also “normal” Day 1s, speed Day 1s, and even a flight played at King’s Prague.

Aside from Day 1a and Day 1b Part 1, all Day 1s play down until only 10% of the field remains, with the top 15% being in the money. A min-cash is worth €1,200.

€500,000 Guaranteed German Clubs Championship of Poker

Rounding off July’s festivals is the German Clubs Championship of Poker (GCCOP), which takes place from July 27 to August 2. Last year’s GCCOP Main Event overlaid by quite a margin, but that hasn’t stopped King’s Resort from almost doubling the guarantee to €500,000 for the Main Event!

Like most King’s events, all Day 1s play until only 10% of the field remains, with the money reached at 15% of the field.

In July 2025, a 1,251-strong crowd resulted in a €259,710 prize pool, which fell short of the advertised €300,000 guarantee. Peter Strucka (€41,921) came out on top after a three-handed deal with Jogi Karamshi (€32,625) and Jiri Heidtke (€31,004).
