The Hendon Mob Championship (THMC) series is heading to Liechtenstein for the first time ever on May 30. The series will run until June 5 at the Grand Casino Liechtenstein, where players can enjoy seven days of mid-stakes poker in the Alps.
“We look forward to taking The Hendon Mob Championship concept to Liechtenstein,” said Roland Boothby, Head of Partnerships for GPI/THMC. “The location will catch the eye of many flag hunters and provide us with a great casino partner with which to continue our plan to grow THMC as a must-have festival on the calendars of casinos around the world.”
The series, run and sponsored by the well-known poker tournament database, will feature a SFr 300 ($338) Main Event with a SFr200,000 ($225,653) guarantee. Players will be able to rebuy twice per flight and will have seven flights in which to shoot their shot.
THMC Liechteinstein Schedule Highlights
In addition to the Main Event and its attendant satellites, there will be six side events, each with a custom THMC trophy.
The side events have an interesting spread of tournament types. There is a progressive knock-out event, a win-the-button event, and a 5-card PLO event. These are paired with a few more standard formats like a deepstack turbo and a pair of standard NLH events.
As an extra incentive to take down one of those trophies, The Hendon Mob will also add a specialty flag added each champion’s THM database page. That’s on top of the rare opportunity to earn a Liechtenstein flag just by cashing!

THMC’s First Ever Stop In Liechtenstein
The Grand Casino Liechtenstein has a well-appointed poker room with free soft drinks and a player’s buffet. The room has 17 cash game tables with shuffling machines built-in and during tournaments, they have facilities for up to 70 tournament tables.
“We’re thrilled to have teamed up with Grand Casino Liechtenstein,” Boothby said. “They are a property in the ascendancy with big ambitions. With each month that passes, they are running bigger and better poker events.”
Liechtenstein is a unique poker location tucked in between the edges of the Swiss Federation and Austria, with historic buildings in the foreground and beautiful views of the Alps in the background.
Travelers should note that although Liechtenstein is not part of the EU it is part of the Schengen area so players traveling from other Schengen countries will not need visas. Players traveling from further afield will need to check the specific requirements for their jurisdiction.
