The WPTDeepStacks continues its European tour in Amsterdam from March 23 to 31, 2019 with the WPTDeepStacks Amsterdam festival coming to you from the Holland Casino Amsterdam Center.
For the fifth consecutive year, the World Poker Tour will be heading to the Holland Casino to provide jam-packed poker action for all levels, and this around the WPTDeepStacks takes center stage.
The poker festival features fifteen events and seven satellites allowing buy-ins for as low as €100. The festival will be highlighted by the €1,200 WPTDeepStacks Amsterdam Main Event and €2,200 WPTDS High Roller event.
To get you in the mood for what will be a great festival take a look at our previous winners from WPT Amsterdam over the past four seasons!
