Italian Series of Poker™

It’s time for the third event in the ISOP™ calendar that will also take place at the epic Casino di Campione. After all, the first two instalments in the festival were such big hits, it made sense to do it for a third time. 

So, this seven-day affair on the stunning shores of Lake Lugano includes everything from an All Star tourney to Pot Limit Omaha, freerolls and much more. And, of course, the overall prize pool is expected to be just as generous.

Plus, the results will continue to count towards the Player of the Year rankings, an award that is about more than status as the winner gets to represent the Italian Poker Team in Las Vegas. Your seat is waiting.

Festival Dates: February 10-16, 2026

Venue: Casino di Campione
