This is a significant milestone for live poker in Europe – the iconic La Notte Degli Assi event will return to the breathtaking Casino di Venezia from October 11-19, 2026. This year's event brings high-stakes competition back to one of the world's most magnificent poker rooms, headlined by a €1,000,000 guaranteed Main Event. Casino di Venezia, the world's oldest casino, was originally founded in 1638 and undisputedly holds the title of the world's oldest casino. It moved to its current location in the 1950s – a 15th-century Renaissance palace on the Grand Canal, once the residence of the Doge of Venice and the final home of composer Richard Wagner. Besides its strong roots in classic gambling games like Chemin de Fer and French Roulette, the venue occasionally opens its grand hall to host top-tier high-stakes poker tournaments. From 2009 to 2013, the WPT Venice was held in this historic Italian city, with Rocco Palumbo being the most recent WPT Venice champion. Recently, the palace has also hosted the PokerGO Circuit, attracting renowned international high-stakes players to high-stakes No-Limit Texas Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and Short Deck events.

GTO Wizard introduces Pre-Flop ICM Solving, allowing Ultra subscribers to solve complex tournament scenarios in seconds. It supports custom stack sizes, bounties, and payout structures, and can import from hand history. Early bird offer ends October 15th. GTO Wizard, the world's premier poker training tool, is even more powerful with the introduction of Pre-Flop ICM Solving. This new feature eliminates the need for powerful hardware when analyzing tournament eliminations; you can even analyze these scenarios using your mobile phone. Pre-Flop ICM Solving is available for Ultra subscribers, allowing users to customize stack sizes, ante, bounties, and payout structures. They can reconstruct any tournament hand using chip EV or ICM strategies and solve pre-flop scenarios with up to 9 players and a depth of up to 250 big blinds. Combined with custom raise sizing, node locking strategies, and a seamless transition from pre-flop to post-flop, you can understand why tournament enthusiasts are excited about the new Pre-Flop ICM Solving. What used to be time-consuming, now takes only seconds. According to the GTO Wizard blog, solving a single pre-flop ICM scenario used to require agonizing data entry, and if you changed any variables, it would take about 30 minutes. If you changed the stack size, the solver would need another half hour to work its magic, severely hindering anyone wanting to delve into a particular scenario. The new pre-flop ICM solver solves these scenarios in seconds, allowing you to easily input various scenarios and easily practice different examples. High-stakes tournament master Samuel Muller is a big fan of the new pre-flop ICM solver in GTO Wizard. "For me, the most important thing about this release is efficiency. Until now, studying a specific ICM scenario usually meant running a pre-flop simulation, waiting for the solver to work, and then switching between different tools for the rest of the analysis. Now being able to do all of that directly in GTO Wizard saves me a lot of time." Which tournament formats does the pre-flop ICM solver work for? The pre-flop ICM solver is almost certainly applicable to any tournament you play. GTO Wizard covers all major tournament formats, from standard multi-table tournaments to satellite tournaments, as well as knockout, progressive knockout, and grand jackpot tournaments; you can even simulate mystery bounty tournaments. All prize structures are fully customizable, and the feature supports up to nine players, stack depths of up to 250 big blinds, and tournament sizes of up to 4,096 participants. Best of all, most scenarios are solved in under a second! Hand History Import Integration with GTO Wizard: Users can now directly import chip counts, ante, and bounties from their hand history, making solving online scenarios easier than ever before. Users simply need to…
