Guided by Marcel Luske’s leadership, the European Open Poker Championship takes center stage. Marcel Luske, known as The Flying Dutchman, champions the cause of creating an enjoyable and competitive space for poker aficionados. Collaborating with Noah Boeken, he introduced the European-OPC format in 2006. The tournament’s structure ensures participation from household names and novices alike. With a commitment to growth and inclusivity, the British Open Poker Championship aspires to provide players with a unique platform to learn, compete, and succeed.

Our mission revolves around crafting an inclusive European Open Poker Championship (European-OPC) that caters to poker players of all levels. With roots dating back to 2006, when Marcel Luske and Noah Boeken introduced the format, we offer an annual event comprising both live and online tournaments. Upholding the International Poker Rules, we pledge to deliver a consistent and fair gaming experience, giving players the chance to earn prestigious titles like British-OPC champion and European-OPC champion.

Looking ahead, the British Open Poker Championship continues to thrive. With 2023 marked for 120 live and online events, our focus remains on fostering interaction within the international poker community. Players from the United Kingdom can shine in the British preliminary rounds and proceed to the European-OPC Grand Final. While the specific location is pending, this premier poker venue promises an environment where skill and camaraderie flourish, further uniting poker enthusiasts across Europe.

Our vision is to establish a vibrant international European Open Poker tournament that embodies fun and professionalism. We emphasize a player-friendly atmosphere, connecting individuals from diverse nationalities at a single location. Our commitment is rooted in abiding by International Poker Rules and complying with legal guidelines, ensuring fairness and enjoyment. Marcel Luske, The Flying Dutchman, stands as a driving force behind this vision.
