The middle of December is a time to take stock. While others are closing their quarterly reports, we are closing the poker season. From December 16 to 21, the final stage of the Russian Poker Championship will take place at the Poker Club Sochi, where the fate of the 2026 Russian Championship title will be finally decided.
The Russian Poker Championship has once again embarked on an impressive journey. This year, the geography has covered impressive distances, from the cozy tables in Sochi to the foothills of the Altai Mountains. Throughout the year, players have been competing for points and honing their strategies. Several national cups have already found their owners. Now, it's time to convert this experience into victory and discover the name of the ultimate Russian Poker Champion.
For all fans of the best card game, we have prepared an incredibly extensive schedule that includes all the most popular formats. Hold'em, Omaha, and Pineapple will be presented. Knockouts, Magic Bounty, Deep Stacks, Turbo, a women's tournament, and a tournament for veterans - we have made the schedule as diverse as possible. There are over 70 tournaments with various buy-ins, catering to every taste and budget.
The final series includes two major tournaments: the Texas NL Freezout and the Omaha PL Freezout. With buy-ins of 100,000 rubles, clear rules, and, most importantly, fierce competition, there will be no random people. Only those who have truly worked towards this result throughout the year will be present.
In addition to the tournaments themselves, we will traditionally hold the Russian Poker Awards ceremony. This is a time to step back from the competition and say "thank you" to those who make the poker industry thrive. We will honor the best managers who provide comfort and, of course, the main stars of the season. The final stage of the Russian Championship is primarily about the thrill of competition and the opportunity to claim a cup that will serve as a testament to your skill.
Explore the schedule, plan your trip in advance, and register for the tournaments. The name of the ultimate Russian Poker Champion will be revealed soon!
