Join us in celebrating 16 years of Pokahnights
The most exceptional year for the club!
During last year's 15 years of Pokahnights festival, we promised More Pokah ... and we more than delivered on that promise. In the 16th year of Pokahnights, the club has transcended itself on every level. In the fall of 2025, we will put the ultimate cherry on Pokahnights' poker cake: the first WSOP on Belgian soil will be played at Pokahroom Middelkerke.
From July 27 to August 17, we will host the annual Birthday festival with a total guaranteed prize pool of 50,000 euros. In each event of the festival we guarantee 1,600 euros and for the main event 16,000 euros prize money is guaranteed.
Let's make it an unseen poker summer together, both in Antwerp and Middelkerke!

Festival specials
Pokahnights would not be Pokahnights if there were no specials in the schedule of games. Like previous years, we have made sure that all poker players can play their favorite game. You ask, we serve!
OFC Poker
€40
Aug. 9
It doesn't always have to be Texas! There are a lot of Open Face Chinese poker players in the Pokahnights community. During the 16 Years Festival, we will be happy to put on an event!
3x Omaha
€40 & €35
Aug. 10, 12 and 14
Last year almost 100 entries for the Omaha event. Will we take this magical mark this year? We have a Deepstack, a Turbo and a Round of Each event featuring Omaha.
Deuces Wild
€35
Aug. 16
It's okay to go a little harder...a joker left and right is guaranteed to bring action to the tables. In this tournament, all the twos are jokers. Pairs are unlikely to win too many pots here...
8 Game
€40
Aug. 17
For fans of mix games, we are also, as usual, scheduling a full-scale 8-game tournament. Will this year's patron get past a straight flush in the heads-up?
