That the start of the live poker season at the Casino di Campione was dense with events, dates, and festivals of all kinds, we had already anticipated when we informed you about the closing of the leaderboard for weekly tournaments and, above all, about the PokerStars Open currently underway.

But to give our readers the opportunity to plan their trip and, above all, their stay on the shores of Lake Lugano in advance, we are starting to set the dates and tournaments for the third chapter of the ISOP, Italian Series Of Poker, season.
What has happened so far at ISOP
The two previous stages of the ISOP, which are being played between 2025 and 2026, were also held at the Casino di Campione, attracting a rather large number of players and offering participants the usual mix of tournaments and gaming experiences that ISOP has always made available to all players who participated in past editions.
The last two in particular saw victories in their respective Main Events by Friedrich Raz and Florin Bilan, and it is singular that two non-Italian players won in both the first and second stages.
In October, on the 27th, the Main Event of the first stage was won by Swiss player Raz, who managed to beat seven Italian players, including the runner-up Federico Eliseo, pocketing a first prize of €50,000. The runner-up won a prize of €25,670.
On the evening of December 15th, however, it was Romanian player Bilan, photo in the homepage, who took home the trophy and a prize of €27,900, eliminating Federico Castiglioni in second place, who was the second and last protagonist of a deal that earned him a prize of €23,100.
The new stage from February 10th to 16th
The third stage is therefore imminent and includes a series of tournaments that will begin on February 10th with the warm-up event, the ISOP Warm Up with a Buy-in of €130 starting at 7:00 PM.
From Wednesday evening, the on-site satellites for the Main Event, the main event which, as always, is offered with different Buy-Ins for each registration day, will begin.
Day 1A Special Price starts at 6:00 PM on Thursday, February 12th, for a cost of €300, with a starting stack of 50,000 and 40-minute levels.

The next day starts early, at 2:00 PM with Day 1B, still Special Price, but this time set at €400 and with the same format just described for Day 1A.
In the evening, the registration fee for Day 1C becomes €500, still with 40-minute levels and a starting stack of 50,000 chips.
The last two opening flights are scheduled for Saturday, February 14th, with Day 1D at 2:00 PM, with the same characteristics as Day 1C, and with Day 1E Fast, which, for a €400 Buy In, offers the last Day 1 with the standard 50,000 chips starting stack, but with 20-minute levels.
On Day 2, the level duration extends to 50 minutes and starts at 1:00 PM on Sunday, February 15th, with a Buy In of €500 available until level 3 of the day, while the final day is scheduled for Monday, February 16th, starting at 1:00 PM.
