La Notte degli Assi returns to the Mendrisio Casino with a Main Event that’s a bit different from the usual but full of exciting new features. It’s a tournament featuring 4 Day 1s, a Final Day, and a guaranteed prize pool of €50,000, offering players the chance to qualify for the prestigious €1 million guaranteed tournament taking place in June at the King’s Resort in Rozvadov.

You can enter the tournament through three different buy-in tiers, each tied to a specific point in the tournament:

• €45 + €5 for those who register before 6:00 PM (tournament start) and are seated at the table at the time of “Shuffle up and deal,” i.e., the start of Day 1. Players on the waiting list at 6:00 PM are not eligible for the €50 buy-in.

• €90 + €10 during the 18 levels of Day 1

• €230 + €20 for players registered during the first three levels of the Final Day

Registration for La Notte degli Assi Road to The Million is available exclusively at the GD where you wish to play, and third-party registrations are not permitted. The Admiral Poker Room cashier opens two hours before the start of each Day 1, i.e., at 4:00 PM on May 20, 21, 22, and 23, while on May 24 it opens at 1:00 PM. We encourage everyone wishing to take advantage of the €50 “special price” to arrive early to avoid lines or waiting lists.

The Road To The Million “Night of the Aces” kicks off on Wednesday, May 20, at 6:00 p.m. with Day 1A, followed by Day 1B, Day 1C, and Day 1D on May 21, 22, and 23, respectively, at 6:00 p.m. During the first four qualifying flights, the starting stack is 50,000 chips, regardless of the entry fee paid (€50 or €100); levels last 25 minutes, and re-entries are unlimited.

At the end of the 12th level of play on each Day 1 (including the break), those still in the game will participate in a flip-and-go to win a €660 package that includes buy-in and hotel accommodations for La Notte degli Assi 1,000,000 GTD, scheduled for June 1–7 at King’s Resort in Rozvadov.

Players in possession of the €100 ticket won during the “La Notte di Mendrisio” tournaments may use it exclusively to participate in Day 1A on May 20 or Day 1B on May 21, and no exceptions will be made. To ensure they have a seat at the start of the tournament, players holding tickets may claim their seat at the registration desk by presenting the voucher they received between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

Players who reach the end of Level 18 on each Day 1 will bag their chips and return for the Final Day. The tournament does not feature a “stack choice” or “accumulator” format.

The Final Day will be played on May 24, starting at 2:00 p.m., and all players who qualified from Day 1A, Day 1B, Day 1C, and Day 1D will take their seats at the tables starting with blinds of 2,000–4,000, playing 25-minute levels. The first three levels of the Final Day allow for registration and re-entry with a buy-in of €230+€20 for 250,000 chips. The Final Day bubble man and the tournament winner will each receive a €660 package that includes buy-in and hotel accommodations for La Notte degli Assi 1,000,000 GTD, scheduled for June 1–7 at King’s Resort in Rozvadov.
