About the Premier Championship of Poker

The Premier Championship of Poker (PCOP) is the biggest live tournament series of the relatively young Italian Poker Room Premier Win 365.

Its last stop took place in the Perla Poker Room in Nova Gorica, which consists of 30 tables making it the biggest one on in Slovenija. It included 10 events with buy-ins ranging from €100 up to €1,000 for the Main Event. All tournaments had a guaranteed total prize pool of €600,000.

Absolute Highlights were the Main Event and the PPC Grand Final with €200,000 GTD each. The latter offered fantastic value with a buy-in of only €330.

All in all the PCOP is a great choice for grinders and online players as the big guaranteed prize pools attract many bad live players. That’s why we sponsor three of our members for this event.

VIP Grinders Slovenija Head and one of our Twitch streamers Jan Martinsek led the team consisting of three members. The other two players were VIP-Grinders members Matic Ovsenek and Andraž Menegalija:

Matic Ovsenek finishes second in his first ever live tournament!

Stories like the one of Matic “Ovsa” Ovsenek make up the fascination of poker. PCOP Event #9 the Juego Cup with a guaranteed prize pool of €100,000 was Ovsa’s first ever live tournament.

Not only did he make it into the money, he even reached the final table. When they were 3-handed they decided to make a deal and to chop the money, which secured Matic almost €16k.

The Final Table of PCOP Event #9 – Juego Cup with Ovsa.

He outlasted 389 opponents and turned a small buy-in of only €300 into €15,800! Our Congratulations and a big well done go to Ovsa!

On top of that Jan Martinsek also had a deep run in ‪Event #7 €300 Six Max Battle, where he just missed the final table with 13th place for €615.

The Premier Poker Championship was a great success and we are already looking forward to our next live sponsorship. If you want to get sponsored for a live tournament of your own choice and become a VIP-Grinders Ambassador, please apply here!
