Live poker at the Casino on Lake Lugano
The ISOP — Italian Series of Poker are the Live Poker Italian Championships, which make the Municipality of Campione d'Italia, an Italian enclave on Lake Lugano in the province of Como, the capital of Italian poker for almost two weeks. The venue is the PokerStars Live Room of the renowned Casino of Campione d'Italia.
The festival offers a packed schedule of 28 tournaments for every type of player, including specialties such as the Italian Sviten Championship (mixed game), the Italian H.O.R.S.E. Championship, the Italian 5-Card Omaha Championship, and the new Mystery Bounty format. Online qualifiers on PokerStars (every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday) allow access to events with reduced buy-ins.
The heart of the event is the Main Event, with a buy-in of 990 euros and a deep structure designed to enhance skill and playing level. Throughout the festival, points are awarded for the ISOP Player of the Year, Omaha Player of the Year, and Side Player of the Year rankings.
While not a sagra (traditional festival) or a popular festival in the traditional sense, the event is one of the major appointments on the international live poker calendar, capable of attracting players from all over Italy and abroad to the unique setting of Campione d'Italia, between the glamour of the Casino and the charm of Lake Lugano.
