Once again, the PDC Europe (Professional Darts Corporation) Poker Charity Tournament will take place on 25 April at the Drivers & Business Club of Motorworld Munich, featuring a colorful mix of stars from the dartboard, poker table, American football, ice hockey, or soccer field. At the poker tables, you can take a seat right next to the stars and play for exciting prizes at the same time. Proceeds and donations from the Poker Charity Tournament, which is co-organized by Hapek, will benefit several good causes! Anyone who doesn’t want to miss out on their favorite sports star, a soft poker tournament, and side events in the style of Meet & Greets only needs a ticket to one of the two poker tournament heats for admission. These were quickly sold out on the PDC Europe pages, but now an extra contingent of tickets has spontaneously been made available again.

What is Darts x Poker?
Every visitor will likely have a different answer as to what the core of the event is. For some, it’s the Darts Masterclass by Robert Marijanovic; for others, it’s the Meet & Greets, e.g., with Thomas Helmer or Lars Riedel, or the wine tasting with the German Wine Queen – and of course, for many, it’s the poker tournament with and against the stars.
The darts pros who are on-site in Munich are also available for a few rounds at the dartboard. And regardless of whether they are sports stars, personalities from the entertainment world, or full-blooded poker pros, those who are not currently sitting in one of the two MTT poker heats are happy to take a seat in a Single Table Sit ’n‘ Go. Here, in a more intimate setting, there is another opportunity to get in touch with the prominent headliners and, in the best case, take their chips.
Anyone who is a real petrol head can also take part in a guided tour of Motorworld Munich, which, in addition to many car brands, service providers, and workshops based there, also houses 120 glass display boxes for exclusive vehicles with a history. The centerpiece of Motorworld Munich on the former site of the Deutsche Bahn repair shop is the huge, heritage-listed locomotive hall.
The Poker Charity Tournament Event Program:
This is how the poker tournament works!
The multi-table poker tournament takes place in two heats followed by a final with the players who survived their preliminary round. The MTT is designed so that there is always a celebrity at every tournament table. He or she always has a very personal bounty for their nemesis in their luggage, ranging from their own signed book to game-worn jerseys. Heat 1 starts at 10:00, and Heat 2 at 14:30. Each preliminary round lasts 10 levels of 20 minutes each, for a total of 3 hours and 40 minutes each. Those who made the cut will then start the final at 19:00 with their chips from the preliminary round, where they will play for exciting sponsored prizes until the scheduled end at 01:00.
The event ticket, which is now available again for €180, includes a start in one of the two heats and all supporting programs. There are no further costs, regardless of which SnG or side event is attended.
