The Irish Open Sydney Main Event is set for Sept. 6-14 at Poker Palace Sydney, with a A$2,000 buy-in and a A$1 million guarantee. The event has six starting flights, including two turbo flights, and the champion is due to be crowned on Sept. 14.

According to the Irish Open’s June 18 schedule announcement, the Sydney festival runs from Aug. 31 to Sept. 14 at Poker Palace and carries more than 40 tournaments with close to A$2,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools. The supporting line-up includes the A$360 Mini Irish Open, the A$880 Lucky 8’s, a A$360 Deaf Championship and the A$880 Sydney Poker Open.

The Irish Open is treating Sydney as the launch point for its new Irish Open International series. The series has roots back to 1980, and this is the first time it has moved outside Europe.

The Main Event’s road to Sydney started in April with a remote Day 1 in Dublin. Four players advanced from that session, with Oliver Hutchins leading the qualifiers and series ambassador Chris Dowling among them. The schedule also says Dowling continued his Main Event campaign with 275,000 chips. The schedule also says 18 super satellites at Poker Palace are guaranteeing 170 Main Event seats.

As covered in August, Sydney is also due to host a separate WPT festival from Sept. 10-30, adding another big poker run to the city’s calendar.

ACR Poker’s $2.5 million 25th Anniversary Tournament is already underway and still has a long runway, with regular Day 1 flights on Sept. 3, 6, 10, 13, 17, 20, 21, 24 and 27, plus turbo chances on Sept. 27 and Sept. 28. Players who advance from any of the remaining opening flights will return for Day 2 on Sept. 28, and the final table is scheduled for Sept. 29.

Card Player says the event is a $250 buy-in and uses a cumulative-stack format, so players can keep entering later Day 1s and combine their surviving chips for Day 2. As reported in July, ACR Poker launched the 25th Anniversary Tournament with 21 total Day 1 flights and a qualification window that stretches across more than two months.

The regular flights begin at 1:05 p.m. ET. The late turbo schedule includes Sept. 27 at 7:05 p.m. ET and Sept. 28 at 8:05 a.m. ET.

PokerStrategy described the tournament as being in full swing and said the cumulative-stack setup gives players a reason to keep coming back even after they have already bagged a stack. That means reaching Day 2 does not have to be the end of the run if a player wants to try for a bigger starting pile.

For players trying to qualify cheaply, satellites start at $1.05. Card Player says Thursday and Friday Super Satellites at that price feed 25 seats into an $11 Mega Satellite, which then awards seats into the $250 Day 1 Turbo. A similar ladder is available on Saturday, beginning with a $1.05 Super Satellite at 9:05 a.m. ET and an $11 Mega Satellite at 10:45 a.m. ET.

Americas Cardroom has launched FT Replayer, a free browser tool that lets users review completed final tables hand by hand with every player’s hole cards visible. The feature is available now and does not require an Americas Cardroom account or a software download.

In an August 5 website update, ACR Poker said the replayer had been brought to the website so players could revisit completed final-table action without opening the poker client first. The site said the replay can be opened from a tournament’s completed results or ranking area, and that mobile users get a vertical layout that is easier to follow on a phone.

The replay runs from the opening hand through the end of the tournament, showing every raise, call and fold, including hands that never reach showdown. Instead of a highlight reel or a written recap, it shows the full sequence of decisions, with all cards revealed.

Americas Cardroom says the archive is built automatically, with every finished final table added after it ends. That means players who make a final table can come back later to review it, while other users can browse by event or check newly completed action after major tournament series. The company says the tool is meant to help people study bet sizing, preflop aggression, all-in ranges, folds, bluffs and how stack depths and table dynamics change the way players respond. It also frames the feature as a way to give tournament action a second life after the result is official, rather than just leaving winners with a static screenshot.

King’s Resort in Rozvadov has unveiled the King’s Million European Poker Championship, a new festival set for Sept. 16-Oct. 6 that carries more than €10 million in total guarantees. The headliner is a €5 million Super Main Event with a €1,150 buy-in, giving the room a big autumn anchor after WSOP Europe left town.

As reported in August, King’s Resort had already lined up the IPS Summer Edition for late summer, and the new championship takes over the main autumn calendar. PokerTube frames the series as the resort’s answer to WSOP Europe’s move to Prague, after the autumn stop had run in Rozvadov every year from 2017 through 2025 before shifting this spring into a March-to-April window. Federico Brunato told the outlet that many operators do not fully understand what players are really looking for, and argued that communities are built around the experience, not the number attached to it.

That shift was already visible in the 2026 WSOP Europe schedule, which ran from March 31 through April 12 with 15 bracelet events. PokerTube says the Prague debut drew a 2,617-entry Main Event, more than triple the previous high of 817, and generated a €13.085 million prize pool. Across the full 15-event festival, 15,779 entries came from more than 80 countries and total prizes reached €39.5 million.

The King’s Million schedule is built around a string of side events as well. PokerNews lists a €250 Mini Main Event with a €1 million guarantee, a €400 Deepstack with €300,000 guaranteed, a €1,000 Mystery Bounty on Sept. 23 with a €1.5 million guarantee, and Omaha events that include a €1,500 European Poker Championship PLO and a €3,000 PLO High Roller, both set at €500,000 guaranteed. Later in the month, the €600 Monsterstack starts on Sept. 27 with a €1 million guarantee, six regular starting flights and a Flip and Go Pineapple route into Day 2 on Sept. 30. PokerTube says four more guaranteed events round out the schedule, ranging from a fast-paced bounty format to a tournament reserved for players 50 and older.

The Super Main Event begins on Sept. 30 and runs through Oct. 4, with seven regular starting flights plus a Flip and Go Pineapple option. PokerNews says the EPC continues into the first week of October with a €500,000 guaranteed EPC Masters and a €100,000 guaranteed Closer, while PokerTube adds that satellites into the Super Main are already running and that King’s Resort’s September slate includes the German Poker Tour and Ola Poker Tour earlier in the month, putting roughly €10.8 million in guarantees in play across Rozvadov that month alone.

RunGood Poker Series is bringing its Mississippi Poker Championship stop to Horseshoe Casino Tunica from Sept. 15-20. Listed on RunGood’s schedule page as the Mississippi State Championships, the six-day series features nine trophy events, more than $100,000 in combined guarantees, and a four-flight Main Event with a $50,000 guarantee.

RunGood had a Passport Season stop at Tunica in March, and the posted schedule now shows how the week unfolds. Sept. 15 opens with a $250 Seniors Championship with a $10,000 guarantee, a $65 satellite into the PLO Championship, and a $150 Tag Team NLHE Championship with a $5,000 guarantee.

The next day brings a $250 PLO Championship with a $10,000 guarantee, a $65 satellite into the Monster Stack Championship, and a $150 Big Bounty Championship with a $5,000 guarantee. Sept. 17 adds a $250 Monster Stack Championship with a $10,000 guarantee, a $95 satellite into the Mississippi State NLHE Championship, and a $250 6-Max NLHE Championship with a $10,000 guarantee.

The Main Event starts on Sept. 18 with Flight A and Flight B of the $400 Mississippi State NLHE Championship, each carrying a $50,000 guarantee. Sept. 19 adds Flights C and D, plus a $250 Ladies Championship with a $5,000 guarantee, before Sept. 20 wraps with the Day 2 restart and a $250 Turbo NLHE Championship with a $10,000 guarantee.

PokerNews will provide live reporting coverage of the Main Event beginning Sept. 18 at Horseshoe Casino Tunica. PokerTube says it will also follow the full series with daily recaps and hand reports through the crowning of a champion at Horseshoe Tunica.

This is RunGood’s third scheduled visit to Horseshoe Tunica in 2026. PokerTube says the series already had a Passport Season stop there in March, and it says another Golden Expedition series is scheduled for November, keeping the casino in regular rotation for the tour.

The Tunica Main Event has a recent benchmark too. When RunGood last ran its main event there in fall 2025, Carl Masters beat a 645-entry field to win $60,251 after defeating Rafael Lopez heads-up. Results from the upcoming stop will also feed into the RunGood Player of the Year standings for the 2026/27 season, and the Mississippi State Championship winner will earn a seat at the 2026 Dream Seat Invitational later this year.
