On May 17, 2004 the Swedish Poker Association was founded due to the ambition and inspiration of Ken Lennaárd, Koray Saka and Martin Knijff. The aim was simple: To promote poker and poker players in Sweden. In 2008 they combined forces with a wealth of poker resources in Sweden and the off-spring of this venture was Svenska Poker - a championship series dedicated to poker enthusiasts in Sweden which is held annually in Estonia. The tournament is for Swedish residents only.

Players get down to the felt in a series of tournaments including Texas Hold 'em and Omaha High-Low for massive prize-pools and some of the best poker action in Europe.
