So, what is the biggest event in Europe, in terms of the number of competitors? Is it one of the
EPT tournaments? No, most definitely not.
In the small town of Grebbestad, Sweden, located a few hours by car or train from the nearest larger town (Goteborg) there's a bit of poker going on every year. Last year, they had 600 entrants; this year they are expecting 700 players. (The seats are very likely to fill up quickly, half of them were sold in just three weeks.)
It is a three-day tournament starting March 23, and the buy-in is set as low as €250. For more information, including hotels and such things, see
grebbestadpoker.se. As far as I know, you can only pay the entry fee through the 24hPoker client (and winnings will be paid out this way too, to lower the risk of police stopping the event).
