GCLI Tournament Details

The NLH 5k tournament, which took place on Friday, July 10, 2026, attracted a total of 63 entries (43 initial buy-ins and 20 re-entries). Players paid a buy-in of CHF 115 + CHF 15 to participate in the event, which had a guaranteed prize pool of CHF 5,000. The strong turnout resulted in the prize pool being significantly exceeded, reaching a total of CHF 7,245.

A total of nine players were set to receive payouts. In a gesture of camaraderie, the player who finished in the bubble position, known as “Big Chick,” still received CHF 115.
