Experience Live Poker Like Never Before With The Festival Series
The Festival Series offers poker enthusiasts a unique live experience, distinct from typical poker events. Known for its wide range of mixed games, hospitality events, and casino game tournaments, this series is designed for players seeking a mini-holiday in a poker paradise. Their first event of the year will take place from May 31 to June 9 at the renowned King’s Casino in Rozvadov.
In the past six months, players could qualify online through numerous of online operators. Coolbet, partypoker, Unibet Poker, Redstar, Betsson, Paddypower, Novibet, Grosvenor, Paf, Betfred; just to name a few. It was incredible to see how many countries were able to qualify online, especially considering other events mostly keep to one operator at the time.
The Festival Series Rozvadov will be their very first event of 2024, with the previous event dating back to November 2023, at the Banco Casino in Bratislava. Just looking at the first couple of events, we can see a drastic improvement compared to previous editions.
Take The Hendon Mob Championship as an example, going with a guaranteed prize pool of €200,000, for a buy-in of just €250. The Championship has been part of The Festival for a while now, but never it consisted of so many opening flights, let alone the whopping GTD.
Here at PokerListings, we’ll try and give the readers a taste of what will be going on in Rozvadov, with a couple of recaps, as well as videos on our social media. PokerListings, connected to The Festival Series since the very beginning back in 2021, will also host its very own tournament during the last days of the event, going by a guaranteed prize pool of €30,000!
Starters
So, what makes The Festival so unique? Hospitality events are one of their key ingredients of the series (Full Hospitality Schedule). Players who won a unique online package can participate in all side activities held around the clock. From grand restaurants to visiting a local brewery. Of course, we can’t forget about the infamous player parties planned during the weekends.
A new twist has been giving to this entire experience as well, as there will be a Fun Zone inside the casino. A zone where many games such as darts, foosball, air hockey, and FIFA, will be available for all players of the event to enjoy.
So, where’s the poker at? Well, there will be 65+ unique poker tournaments available to enter, an amount which you rarely (more like hardly ever) see elsewhere, especially considering most of the events are mixed games. We’ve already mentioned The Hendon Mob Championship, which actually will kick off the entire live event. With five starting flights, Day 2 will take place on Sunday, June 2nd.
There is another grand tournament available from the get-go with the HORSES Mixed Games Main Event, consisting out of Hold’em, Omaha, Razz, Omaha Eight-or-Better, and Sviten Special. A remarkable event, introduced and invented by The Festival Series itself during their previous live event in Bratislava. Other topics which start from the beginning of the event are ‘Franke’s Flips n Go‘ and the ‘Cash Game Challenge‘.
Main Course
King’s Casino is known for giving the Mystery Bounty tournaments an additional edge courtesy of their technology system. Through the entire poker room, players can check various screens and see if a player is pressing the button to reveal the Mystery Bounty prize. With a buy-in of just €300 and an epic total of €100,000 GTD, this event is a must!
The Main Event is what it’s all about durin live poker. The Festival sticks to the €550 buy-in they usually set for the event, as well as a whopping €500,000 for the guaranteed prize pool. A guaranteed prize pool is what makes an event like it is, and if you consider a minimum of 1,000 players is needed roughly to break this guaranteed, players can expect plenty of action during a total of six opening flights, a day two, and a final day.
Who will follow up Gabriel Rymar from Poland and take home something similar to his first prize of €80,000?
Desert
Poker is a game we all love, but is it physically possible to partake in so many live tournaments within just ten days of poker action? Surely not all, and that’s why The Festival Series offers a wide range of hospitality events. Players can enjoy a nice time off the tables, setting their minds to something other than cards.
While hospitality events are only available for package holders, the Fun Zone is available for literally all players of the event. On top of this, players can also grab one of the ‘outdoor games’ from reception, enjoy a bit of sun, topped with some healthy competition!
Good luck to all players participating the event, and enjoy your very own poker holiday!
