For players who prefer different game speeds, there are both standard and accelerated starting days (Speed Day 1, Turbo, Flip and Go Pineapple). This allows everyone to choose the optimal format for entering the Main Event. Main Event: €1,500,000 Guarantee and Multiple Starting Days The series’ Main Event — IPS Main Event — kicks off on August 21 with the first starting day, Day 1A Part 1 , at 14:00. The next day, August 22, will feature Day 1B Part 1 . Additional starting days will be held throughout the week, including accelerated (Speed Day 1), turbo formats, and even the unique Flip and Go Pineapple , where players go all-in on the very first hand and the winners advance. A special feature of the series will be a separate starting day held in another venue — King's Prague (Prague) on August 28, expanding the geography of participants and giving an extra chance to qualify for the Main Event. Players who successfully make it through any of the starting days will meet at the tables for Day 2 on August 30 (Sunday). Then, Day 3 will take place on August 31, and the final will be held on September 1, when the winner and the recipients of shares of the €1,500,000 prize pool will be determined. Thanks to the affordable buy-in and large guarantee, the Main Event promises to be one of the biggest events of the summer, attracting both amateurs and professionals. Satellites: Your Chance to Enter Major Tournaments for a Small Price For those not ready to pay the full €380 buy-in for the Main Event, the organizers have prepared a rich satellite program — qualifying tournaments with a small entry fee, where tickets to the main events are up for grabs. The satellite series kicks off on August 18 with a tournament for €50 , guaranteeing a prize pool of €3,800 (the equivalent of 10 Main Event tickets). Similar satellites will be held regularly throughout the series, right up to the last starting days of the Main Event. Some satellites allow you to choose your starting day, while others are tied to specific flights. Satellites are available not only for the Main Event. For example, to enter the IPS Summer Opener with a guarantee of €50,000 , you can play a qualifier for €35. For the Mystery Bounty with a guarantee of €100,000 , there are satellites for €40. This makes the series accessible to the widest possible audience.
