Denmark's most prestigious live tournament, where the country's sharpest card players gather to fight for the title of Danish Champion. The Danish Poker Championship is not just a tournament - it is the poker event of the year where the best Danish card players compete for the honor, the prize, the trophy and a place in Danish poker history.
When Mads Dahlstrøm showed up at Casino Copenhagen to play the Danish Poker Championship 2025, it was his very first time playing live poker. He had secured entry to the Danish Poker Championship 2025 by finishing 2nd in the Team Championship 2025, an online tournament at Danske Spil. Few would have thought that Mads would walk away with the trophy, the title, the honor, and the DKK 1,100,000 first prize - AND a ticket to the Poker Tour 2025. Nevertheless, that's exactly what happened.
Danske Spil Poker is behind the tournament's popular live broadcast directly from the poker field. From day 2, poker action, analysis and interviews will be broadcast all the way until a new Danish champion is crowned.
Dansk Poker will be present throughout the tournament and live-blog continuously, so you can follow all the most important hands, the drama at the tables and the most exciting moments at the Danish Poker Championship.
In addition to the live qualifier tournament at Casino Copenhagen on Tuesdays, you also have the opportunity to qualify cheaply online. Danske Spil Poker offers a series of online qualifiers for the Nordic Open.
As is tradition, there will be a Freezeout on Friday as well as a 2-day tournament starting on Saturday, when the opportunity to purchase a seat for the Main Event ends.
