The Cretan Masters 2026 is back, bringing one of the most anticipated poker festivals of the year to the island of Crete! From May 2nd to May 16th, players will experience two full weeks of action, strategy, and an unbeatable atmosphere at the tables.
At the heart of the series lies the Main Event with 10,000p GTD, expected to attract a strong field and deliver thrilling moments from start to finish. With three opening flights (Day 1a, 1b, 1c) leading into the final Day 2, players will have multiple chances to build their stack and secure a spot in the money — and ultimately, a shot at the title.
The structure of the Main Event is designed for deep, strategic play, featuring 100,000 starting chips, 30-minute levels, and a comfortable late registration period. In addition, a full schedule of satellite tournaments will be running throughout the series, giving everyone the opportunity to qualify and be part of the action.
Beyond the Main Event, the schedule includes standout tournaments such as the Progressive Break (3,000p GTD) on May 13th, adding extra excitement with bounty elements, and the Omaha Masters (2,000p GTD) on May 16th, which will serve as the grand finale of the festival — a must-play event for Omaha enthusiasts, known for big pots and intense action.
The Cretan Masters 2026 is more than just a tournament series. It’s an experience — the moments at the table, the pressure of big decisions, the thrill of victory, and the camaraderie that makes every session unforgettable.
If you love the game, this is the event you don’t want to miss. Get ready to take your seat, test your skills, and compete for a place among Crete’s finest! 🔥
