Another Ring in the Circuit: WSOPC Heads to Aix-en-Provence This April

Not even a few weeks after announcing a new WSOP Circuit stop in Toronto, the World Series of Poker decided to continue its global expansion — this time, the biggest poker show in the world is heading back to Europe. From April 10 to 22, 2025, the picturesque city of Aix-en-Provence, France, will join the WSOPC calendar for the very first time.

Hosted at the Pasino GRAND Partouche and powered by Texapoker, the festival promises 12 WSOP Circuit rings, a pair of €1 million guaranteed events, and a venue that adds that desired southern French charm to the poker tables.

Pasino GRAND and Texapoker Team Up for a French First

Like we said, this stop marks the first WSOP Circuit event held at the Pasino GRAND in Aix-en-Provence — something Groupe Partouche and Texapoker are understandably proud of.

French poker is celebrating!” said Laurent Mizoule, General Manager of the Pasino GRAND. “The best European and international players will meet here to try and win one of the 12 coveted rings. This partnership with Texapoker and the World Series of Poker marks a new stage in the history of French poker.

Texapoker, already behind successful Circuit stops in Paris and Sanremo, is once again taking the reins for this French debut. According to CEO Apo Chantzis, the WSOP’s renewed trust in Texapoker “rewards our commitment to organising events that offer the best facilities and conditions for players.

A €1K Main Event and Two €1M Guarantees

Of course, the €1,000 Main Event is the centerpiece of the schedule, with four starting flights beginning April 17 and a guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000. The winner also receives a $10,000 ticket to the 2025 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas, courtesy of Texapoker.

Players also have the chance to grab a ring online via Winamax in WSOPC Event #5, a €250 online event also offering a €1 million guaranteed prize pool.

From the look of it, there’s definitely something for every bankroll on the schedule, from the €200 Colossus with nine (!) starting flights, to the €3,000 Super High Roller. The Mystery Bounty will be returning as well, always a player favorite, with three flights from April 13 to 15.

The festival kicks off with a special qualifier-only event — WSOPC Event #1: €250 Podium Texapoker — open to players who podium in select Texapoker events between January and early April.
