While No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha remain the industry standard, mixed games continue to draw growing interest from players eager to broaden their skill set. OlyBet, long known for backing the mixed-game community, is capitalizing on that momentum with the 2026 European Mixed Poker Championship (EMPC).
The festival runs from October 26 to 31 at Olympic Park Casino in Tallinn, Estonia. It features more than ten tournaments with buy-ins starting at €200, alongside round-the-clock cash games for those wanting extra table time.
The centerpiece of the series is the €800 8-Game Main Event, kicking off Friday, October 30, with two starting flights — Day 1A at 11:30 a.m. and Day 1B at 6:30 p.m. Survivors advance to Day 2 on October 31 to determine a champion. The event spans eight disciplines: No-Limit Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Stud, Stud Hi-Lo, Razz and 2-7 Triple Draw, with one re-entry allowed per flight.
Budget-conscious players can also chase a Main Event seat through €185 H.E.T.R.O.S. satellites on October 29 and 30, or build experience in lower-stakes events like the €200 Big Bet Mix, €200 S.O.R.B.E.T. and €200 Omaha Dealer’s Choice.
Higher-stakes action includes two €1,500 High Rollers — the S.O.R.B.E.T. version on October 29 and the 6-Game edition on October 31 — plus the €700 20-Game Dealer’s Choice, €555 Lowball Draw Mix, €300 6-Game Mystery Bounty and €300 Senkel’s Paradise Pick’em.
Beyond the felt, the festival includes a welcome dinner on October 26 and a community lunch on October 29, adding a social dimension to the week-long gathering of mixed-game enthusiasts.
