WPT National Valkenburg returns to Holland Casino in October for its second sell out instalment. Following on the success of last years event and WPT Amsterdam, the World Poker Tour has released the schedule for the poker festival in the Southern Hill.
The WPT Main Event buy-in will this year be €675+€75 and will take place October 1-4, 2015 with the €1350+€150 High Roller taking place just before (September 30- October 1).
Last year it was Dutchman Niels van Leeuwen who took down the Main Event after beating a field of 402 entries to take down the first-place prize of €40,000. The final table also included Dutch poker legend Marcel Lüske and Joep van den Bijgaart, the latter who's still battling it out in this very tournament with just 10 players remaining.
The total prize pool last year was just shy of €200,000 and the expectations are that these numbers will be beaten in this year's edition. Here's the schedule:
