The Estoril Poker Fest** is set to take over Casino Estoril from May 12–17, bringing a high-energy 6-Max format to the Portuguese coast.

PokerNews_ will be on-site to provide live reporting for the €500 Main Event, ensuring all the action is captured in real-time.

Main Event Action (May 13-17)

Five days of Main Event play gets underway on May 13, with the first of four starting flights. Like all events, it will be played in a 6-max format, guaranteeing more action, more frequent blind encounters, and a more aggressive style of play compared to traditional full-ring tournaments.

There are four starting flights (Days 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D) giving players multiple opportunities to build a stack for the final days. Follow all the action on the PokerNews live reporting page, featuring chip counts, photos, and hand-by-hand updates.
