PokerNews Cup
History of the PokerNews Cup
The first-ever PokerNews Cup took place in 2007 at Australia’s Crown Casino and saw Dory Zayner become the inaugural champion. The following year, Nali Kaselias won the same event while Darren Kramer claimed the title in the 2008 PokerNews Cup South African Poker Open. In 2009, it was Con Tsapkounis winning the third edition of PokerNews Cup Australia while Marc Naalden was victorious in the PokerNews Cup Alpine (Austria).
The next PokerNews Cup wouldn’t take place until 2015 with its first stop at King’s Casino Rozvadov, where Daniel Can was crowned champion. Timur Caglan won the same tournament in 2016, which was also the first time the PokerNews Cup was held in the United States (Ryan Van Sanford won the PokerNews Cup Borgata).
In 2017, Holger Bansner claimed victory in the PokerNews Cup King’s Casino Rozvadov, and after no event in 2018, the PokerNews Cup returned in 2019 with a stop at Casino Finix in Bulgaria. Panagiotis Panagiotidis emerged victorious in that tournament, which was the last PokerNews Cup to date.
