[ Liechtenstein ] The Hendon Mob Championship stops in the Alps

24/5/2023

It's been a great timing when The Hendon Mob, the famous player and tournament datbase, decided to launch their own live Poker events just before the pandemic :-) Things have then been kinda on hold for a few years but the THMC tour is picking up speed again. I documented some of their Bratislava stop during winter 2022 and we did a Nottingham stop together in spring 2023 during The Festival Series. Malta has also been on the menu for a while and the latest addition to the circuit, is a stop at Grand Casino Liechtenstein where I got invited as a photographer and media partner. Sweet!

[ Namur ] European Poker Hotspot Reloaded

11/4/2023

Visiting Namur was a special experience this month. I used to be the house Poker photographer of the place between 2012 and 2018 and did not really return much since I left but a lot has been going on in the Belgian Poker scene over the the last years. Among the greatest changes in the live Poker landscape of Wallonia and of the whole country, is the recent mega-upgrade the Namur casino went through becoming the first and unique casino resort of the nation. The location has not changed but pretty much all the rest has. From the outside, the building was not visibly altered a lot since most parts of it are protected but the interior has been going through major transformations.
