When is WPT Prime Amsterdam?
The 2024 edition of the WPT Prime Amsterdam festival runs from March 15-23, with the €1,100 Main Event scheduled for March 19-22. The raffle winner is responsible for their travel and accommodation costs, but the £1,000 cash that comes with the tournament entry will go some way to covering those.
Last year, 1,000 entries were processed in the WPT Prime Amsterdam Main Event at the Holland Casino, resulting in a €959,618 prize pool. A min-cash weighed in at €1,778, a final table place locked in €20,493, with the champion, Philip Hollederer, scooping €161,552 plus a $10,400 seat to the season-ending WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
