The Sheraton Hotel and Casino in San Jose, Costa Rica, is the venue for the 2025 Costa Rica Poker Festival, an exciting way to kick off your live poker endeavors in the New Year. The Costa Rica Poker Festival runs from January 27 to February 3, promising an action-packed tournament schedule against a luxurious backdrop and with plenty of off-the-felt activities to help you relax away from the tables.
Your Costa Rica Poker Festival adventure begins on January 27 with a $65 buy-in satellite to the CR Main Event. These satellites run up to and including February 1, allowing you to turn an affordable sum into a shot at the big time.
The Main Event is a $550 buy-in affair featuring six flights, including a turbo-structured Day 1E and Day 1F. By the time the CR Main Event champion lifts the winner’s trophy, the tournament will have paid out at least $100,000.
It is not only the CR Main Event that catches the eye because the rest of the Costa Rica Poker Festival has something to offer to everyone. You’ll fight for bounties in the $330 No-Limit Hold’em Pura Vida Bounty, lock horns in the $230 Pura Vida 5-Card PLO Bounty event, and pull big prizes from sealed envelopes in the $330 Luxon Pay Mystery Bounty.
The schedule also features a $1,100 High Roller, a $3,300 Super High Roller, a $250 LIPS Ladies championship, and a $250 Seniors event for those aged 50 or over.
