The traditional Helsinki Freezeout tournament will kick off the Finnish poker season at Casino Helsinki between 6 and 13 January. The main Freezeout tournament will be played from Wednesday 11 to Friday 13 January, and the game format is Texas NL, 2000 + €100.

After the New Year, Casino Helsinki poker tournament tickets will be non-transferrable and should have the player’s name on them.

Viewing will be restricted to registered customers of RAY only.

By signing the contract, the players consent to having their names published in the tournament follow-up details and allow their cards to be seen by all viewers during the finals’ table broadcasts. In addition, by signing the contract the player gives the right to publish pictures and videos taken during the tournaments. The players will sign the contract at the Casino before the actual tournament.
