Kings Resort in Rozvadoz, Czech Republic, is where you need to head this September if you are a fan of high-stakes Pot-Limit Omaha action. Kings are once again hosting The Big Wrap series, and it is bigger and better than ever before.
The Big Wrap runs from September 12-18 at Europe’s largest cardroom. Seven Pot-Limit Omaha events plus a handful of satellites are scheduled, and some of those tournaments are massive in terms of buy-ins and guaranteed prize pools.
What better way to start the latest Big Wrap festival than with a €5,000 buy-in, €500,000 guaranteed event? A similar tournament took place at The Big Wrap in March 2023 and saw Hungary’s Gergo Nagy outlast 86 entrants to take home €114,706. The guarantee was “only” €200,000 that day, so expect a much more substantial top prize this time around.
King’s Resort Has Big WSOP Plans For The Rest Of 2023
Two Events With Seven-Figure Guarantees
Following the €5,000 buy-in event is a €10,000 buy-in affair known as The Big Wrap Diamond 10K PLO High Roller. Kings Resort is expecting a substantial turnout for this tournament, as is evident by the massive €2,000,000 guarantee the casino has slapped on the prize pool. The equivalent event earlier this year guaranteed €500,000, but a 142-strong field ensured €1,308,530 was paid out. A player choosing to remain anonymous took home €337,000 for their victory. Can you imagine the size of first-place prize money with a €2 million guaranteed prize pool?
Amazingly, that is not the only seven-figure guarantee on The Big Wrap’s schedule because another €10,000 buy-in High Roller is set to pay not a cent less than €1,000,000.
The €500,000 Guaranteed Big Wrap Main Event
The Big Wrap Main Event comes with a more affordable yet still substantial €2,350 buy-in, and an enticing €500,000 guaranteed prize pool. There are several €330 buy-in satellites taking place at Kings Resorts before and while the Main Event is running if you want to take a shot at the big time.
This exact tournament previously ran from March 31 and saw 199 players re-enter 101 times, creating a €627,000 prize pool as a result. An anonymous player came out on top and turned their €2,350 investment into a €132,600 haul.
Bounty hunters will be pleased to learn there are two bounty events scheduled. One is a €2,200 buy-in €100,000 guaranteed 5-Card PLO tournament with €1,000 bounties on the heads of each player. The other may be a little out of most players’ reach because it commands a €25,000 buy-in, and has €10,000 bounties throughout!
