The European circuit is once again turning its attention to Riga
And for a Latin player who wants to turn a tournament into a vacation, the proposal makes a lot of sense. The Latvian capital offers a perfect historic center to explore on foot, Art Nouveau architecture, bars, gastronomy, and an intense nightlife. All this accompanied by autumn temperatures that will surely require taking out a jacket before sitting down to grind.
At the tables, the big star will be the €1,100 Main Event, which will start on Wednesday, September 23 and will have three starting flights. Survivors will advance to Day 2 on Saturday the 26th, while on Sunday the 27th we will meet the new champion of Riga.

Is the budget tighter? There will be €80 satellites that will award up to five entries to the Main Event, as well as options for practically every budget.

Among them is the €555 NLH Championship, which starts on September 21, and an interesting €200 Mini Main Event with three starting days. There will also be action for bounty lovers with a €350 Mystery Bounty, DeepStack Progressive Bounty, and several PKO tournaments.
Omaha fans will not be left watching from the sidelines either, as the schedule includes different PLO4 and PLO5 events. Additionally, cash tables will be running 24/7 during the festival.
On Saturday the 26th, the €150 Queens Progressive Bounty, exclusive for women, will also return, accompanied by a satellite of just €10.
Thus, Riga once again fulfills a formula that works wonderfully in Europe: play for a few hours, save the chips, and go out to explore a new city. For Latins eager to discover the Baltic, September offers a pretty convincing excuse. Because not every poker trip has to end within four walls.
