The week is also filled with mixed games and special formats, including Omaha 5 Card Turbo, Omaha 6 Card Turbo, Omaha 4/5/6 Card Mix, Bomb Pot Event, and more. Stage Tournament: Qualify for the Main Events for Less For players looking to build a big stack in the main events without paying the full buy-in, the organizers are offering the Stage Tournament format. These are special qualifying tournaments where winners advance to Day 1 of the main events, carrying over their accumulated stack. Stage Tournament for the 5k Million : Tuesday, September 15 (€1,000 + €100) and Wednesday, September 16 (€1,000 + €100). Stage Tournament for the 10k Championship : Saturday, September 19 (€2,000 + €200). The rules are simple: finish in the top 20% of participants to qualify for Day 1 of the corresponding main event, with your entire stack carried over. This gives you a real shot at a major prize for a fraction of the cost. Free Accommodation: Three Ways to Qualify The organizers are offering three different ways to secure fully paid accommodation at the 4-star Nordic Hotel Forum for the entire festival: Play Both Main Events (5k Million and 10k Championship) Simply make an €800 deposit, which is fully refunded after you play both events. In return, you’ll receive free accommodation for the entire festival. Qualify via Stage Tournaments Play both Stage Tournaments (for the 5k Million and 10k Championship) plus two additional side events with a buy-in of at least €1,000 each. You’ll receive five nights of free accommodation and your buy-ins for the two additional events (€1,000 each) will be covered. A $400 deposit is required, which is refunded after you participate in all four tournaments. Stage Tournament for the 5k Million — Day 1A (September 15 and 16, €1,100) Stage Tournament for the 10k Championship — Day 1 (September 19, €2,200) Minimum Hours at the Tables If you play at least 6 hours per day at stakes of 10/10 or higher, you’ll also receive free accommodation.

Context: Series, Venue, and Format The PLO Grand Slam is a highlight of the prestigious Diamond Poker Series , which consistently attracts the world’s top Pot-Limit Omaha players. The venue, Bombay Club in Tallinn, is renowned for its exceptional organization and hospitality. Special attention is given to the Stage Tournament format, which allows players with smaller bankrolls to enter major events without paying the full buy-in, while keeping their accumulated stack. The organizers are committed to player comfort: free accommodation, flexible participation options, and multiple paths to the main events make the series accessible to a wide range of players. What This Means for PPPoker Club Players For PPPoker club members, this announcement opens up several exciting opportunities. First, the Stage Tournament format is a great example of how clubs can run qualifiers: hosting satellites with stack carryover, giving players a chance to reach major live events for less. This approach can be adopted for home series or online qualifiers. Second, the focus on accommodation and rewards for active play sets a valuable benchmark for club event organizers. Loyalty programs and incentives for volume—such as free tickets or bonuses for hours played—can further motivate your players. Finally, the diverse schedule and formats at the PLO Grand Slam show that demand for unique and mixed games is on the rise. Within PPPoker clubs, it’s worth experimenting with Omaha 5/6 Card, Bomb Pot, and other non-standard formats to keep players engaged and grow your community.
