Casino Baden stacks six flights into one week for the 100,000 euro Pokermania XXL

Casino Baden opens Pokermania XXL on Tuesday 13 October 2026 with a guaranteed prize pool of 100,000 euros and six Day 1 flights crammed into five days, two of them on the Saturday. Entry is 200 euros plus a 30 euro fee for 30,000 chips, and every flight allows unlimited re-entries, so the whole week funnels into a single Day 2 on Sunday 18 October.

Baden's October programme lists Pokermania XXL from 13 to 18 October 2026, and the structure is unusually compressed for an Austrian festival of this size. Day 1A to Day 1E run on consecutive evenings from Tuesday to Saturday, each at 200 euros plus a 30 euro fee for 30,000 starting chips on 25-minute levels, with registration open to the end of level 8 and unlimited re-entries. Saturday 17 October carries two flights rather than one: Day 1E at 17:00 and a turbo Day 1F at 20:00, identical in price and stack but on 15-minute levels. Survivors return for the final on Sunday 18 October at 17:00, which carries no separate buy-in.

The casino's poker page states a guaranteed total prize pool of 100,000 euros for the festival. Satellites at 25 euros plus 5 ran on the two Mondays before it, on 5 and 12 October.

The festival sits in a crowded Austrian autumn. Baden is simultaneously running CAPT Million start days every Saturday at 500 euros plus 50, feeding the 1 million euro guaranteed CAPT Million in Baden from 19 to 30 November, and the venue's Tuesday satellites at 50 euros plus 10 point the same way. Casino Graz, meanwhile, has its own CAPT Million satellite on 10 November at 50 euros plus 10 and a start day of its own.

One detail worth reading carefully: in Baden's monthly table the figures printed after each tournament name — 30k here, 100k on the Thursday deepstack — are starting chip stacks, not guarantees. The only guarantee the casino publishes for Pokermania XXL is the 100,000 euro festival figure on its poker page.
