DPF in 2017
One of my potential February plans, was to travel to Dublin. Lord Covid did not agree.
 I left the Iberian peninsula last night and I am getting ready for month number 2!
February will kick off with the SPF King's Winter Edition and I am planning to make my way to Prague a bit before. Maybe to enjoy myself in one of my favourite cities in Europe and maybe to go play my favourite card game in Rozvadov ... As a matter of fact, the Big Wrap will soon be back just before the Spanish Poker Festival. For the rest of the month, it looks like I'll be cruising around again quite a bit besides the Czech Republic with trips to Dublin (IE) and maybe to Scheveningen (NL). I have no accommodation options to share for Scheveningen for now but King's can offer you good deals for your rooms during the Big Wrap. For the #spfpoker stop at King's, we have a few 5* packages left including airport shuttles from 3rd to 10th February. Also, don't hesitate to request offers for single nights. Dublin is always a great place to be to play cards and I have hotel deals to share with you. Scroll down for visuals and out more in the POKER TRIPS section. For their 7th edition, D4 Events are hosting the DUBLIN POKER FESTIVAL again at The Bonnington Hotel Conference Center featuring the 13th European DeepStack, the 7th Amateur Championship Of Poker and the popular Irish Seniors' event. Save the dates from 13th to 23rd February 2020! Structures have been improved and the Big Blind Ante is being introduced for all tournaments this year.  Double and twin hotel rooms are available on site for €99 par night if you stay for a minimum of 3 nights.
For booking, you can get in touch through the CONTACT & INFO section! The D4 Events Dublin Poker Festival (DPF) has begun last weekend and will be going on until the end of this week with the EDSPC Main Event coming up but I gotta skip this one unfortunately. Some business is keeping stuck in Luxembourg for a few days, so I will probably be back in Spa for the weekend where Leandro Gaone has put together a schedule of 4 1-day tournaments from Thursday to Sunday with a total of more than €20.000 GTD!! Not sure I am going to play the small ones but, for sure, I am going to be more than happy to sit the Friday PLO cash game tables :) Also, watch out for a new tournament on Saturday with a bigger buy-in and a deeper structure and for a €10.000 guarantee in the Sunday special event of this week. All P.R.O.S. Poker info is available under pokerroomofspa.com. See you in Belgium again soon!   I have been skipping the 2018 edition because somehow I got stuck in Portugal so I organised things differently this year. I'll travel to Portugal AFTER the Dublin Poker Festival :) I will miss the first weekend featuring the smaller ACOP Event taking place while I will be attending the Benelux Festival at the Poker Room Of Spa after a long January stay in Rozvadov and before moving on to Ireland for the second part of the DPF 2019.  
Not a lot of action at the Poker lately for me. I have hardly played since the days before Christmas. Just a bit of online mtting and some live cash games and, so far, I am up this year :D
I'm back in Spa at the PROS for a bit this month and might hop around here for a while between in the BeNeLux area. Still have to make up my mind about SPF Rozvadov and the Dublin Poker Festival for later this month and February. 
> THE-ROUNDERdotnet on Facebook > Damian LIB on Instagram / Twitter After a busy August, I somehow hoped I'd have an easier September. Naaa ... The Troia Poker Festival was amazing! 0 tournaments played, daily cash game and beach sessions, top hotel and the peninsula is just amazing. I have posted a bunch of pictures on my Instagram and you will find more photos of the Arrabida coast on my Flickr.   Some run in circles, I fly in triangles.

The WPO will be back this fall with a ton action at and around the tables at Dublin's City West Hotel from 17th to 23rd September 2018 featuring a Main Event with 3 Day 1s. As the Winamax website is not accessible from everywhere, I have published the complete schedule as print screens below.
 Amsterdam, September 2017  Leaving Luxembourg soon after a short stop following a pretty successful trip to Rozvadov for the German Poker Tour between Christmas and New Year's Eve. I'll make a short stop in Namur for some video works during one day followed by some online grinding/coaching/enjoyinglifing and maybe a bunch of live PLO sessions in Amsterdam. From there, I'll be off to Minsk on 11th January until the 15th when I will be flying to Prague to make up my mind if I will make my way to the Dublin Poker Festival or not. I have recently also updated my Google Poker Agenda with a lot of new potential dates in France and Spain. Some Portugal updates are also to come as well as a bunch of event announcements in Namur ... #allineverywhere #allineveryday    Cagoule mo-nu-men-tale à Dublin cette semaine où j'ai dû accumuler 70 heures de travail en 5 jours pour mener à bien la mission de broadcaster des émissions quotidiennes de plus de 10 heures de mercredi à hier soir, dimanche jusqu'à la win d'Otto Richard dans le Main Event face à Sonny Franco en heads-up. Les photos de Caroline Darcourt et de toute la crew media de Winamax sont disponibles sur leur site avec les commentaires de Benjo et co. Les streamings resteront disponibles pendant un moment sur le compte Twitch Winamax et j'ai quand-même réussi à shoot pas mal de photos dans cette ambiance électrique tout au long de la semaine. Il n'y a pas que pour nous que la mission a été rude. Avec la multitude de tournois tous les jours, un Main Event à plus de 1.000 entrées et des tables de cash 24/24, les croupiers ont également pris cher :) Toutes mes photos sont en ligne sur mon Flickr. Enjoy !!  La suite? Une semaine en Belgique à présent où je viens d'atterrir pour passer une journée/soirée à Bruxelles avant de bouger vers Namur pour le Megastack de PokerStars avant de continuer vers l'Est direction le WSOP Circuit à Rozvadov.
Rendez-vous dans mon agenda pour les détails! #allineverywhere 
Plus de fun, ça va être difficile, mais faisable ... en attendant, Winamax a mis les bouchés doubles (littéralement) sur le reste pour l'édition 2017 du Winamax Poker Open (WPO): un max d'action et d'animation sur une surface de jeu doublée pour le déménagement du festival du Regency Hotel au City West Resort quasiment toute cette semaine du 19 au 24 septembre: une tonne d'animations, du Beer Pong, des sorties ... ah oui et du Poker ... jour et nuit avec un Main Event 6-max à €550 qui devrait réunir bien plus de 1.000 entrées à côté de l'autre bonne vingtaine d'events sur les 6 jours.
Sur place, comme souvent pour les festivals, pas énormément de photos de mon côté, mais la gestion de la régie pour les tables télévisées quotidiennes. Lien utiles pour suivre l'action: le site Winamax et ses pages Facebook, Instagram et autres. Il y a également une application live pour nous suivre! See you at the #wpodublin !!  Namur (B), Amsterdam (NL), Luxembourg (L), St. Dié (F), Hirson (F), Arras (F), Brussels (B), Dublin (IE), Rozvadov (CZ) Since Edwin Hubble, we know the Universe is expanding ... and it is doing so more and more rapidly on top of that ! Maybe that's the reason why Namur turns out to be almost 5.000km from Rozvadov ... :) Next week, after the end of the Holiday Festival in Namur, I will be off to Amsterdam to play some Winamax Series online events with river ninja buddy, katana coach & homemade bread guru, Mr. Sneeze :) From there, the mission will be to get to Dublin for the WPO Event from September 19th to 24th. There, I will be hitting the nightly cash tables after the end of the TV table transmissions that I will be taking care of with the might Winamax and D4 Events crews. But the road to Dublin is long ... especially when you decide to take your brother on a Ferrari 488 (670hp) ride on a race track in the woods of the French Vosges like we did last year in May. Gotta train for when I will have won multiple Poker world champion and Winamax Series titles ... :D  From that point, there will be a few options before Dublin. Back to Amsterdam or visit other grinder & spewer buddies in France to continue firing buy-ins at the Winamax Series.
After my Irish week of the month, I will briefly be back in Namur for the PokerStars MegaStack (27 sept > 1 oct) on my way the the WSOP in Rozvadov. > THE-ROUNDERdotnet Google calendar. > THE-ROUNDERdotnet on Facebook. --- From 10th to 19th of February, D4 Events will be back on track after their Brussels stop in December 2016 with a Main Event taken down by the Belgian, Frank De Busscher. The Dublin Poker Festival is back this February at the Regency Hotel and, as usual, it's gonna be huge!

Vous feriez mieux d'aller vous réfugier dans un casino bien chauffé !  > THE-ROUNDERdotnet Google calendar. > THE-ROUNDERdotnet on Facebook. --- The Dublin Poker Festival will be back in February with a great schedule of MTTs from February 10th to 19th but you won't have to wait until then to get some ACOP and EDSPC feel. A Brussels stop has been scheduled this year from December 9th to 18th at the Grand Casino Viage for ten days of Poker action in the heart of Europe. Everything you need to know is online here. I will be making a hop to Ireland in February. If someone wants to join for another epic trip, get in touch ;) Photos of my 2015 Dublin Poker Festival trip are available below: - Road Trip to Dublin - Amateur Championship Of Poker [ACOP] - EPT (ME Day 1B & €10k HR) - EPT (ME Day 2) - Dublin Poker Festival Senior Event - Dublin Poker Festival Senior Event & Nightly Turbo (2) - Dublin Poker Festival - Nightly Turbo FT & Midnight Madness - Dublin Poker Festival - Senior Event HU & creatures at night - Dublin Poker Festival - Main Event Day 1 - From the Garden of Ireland to home   [first published on Decembre 15th, 2015] The Amateur Championship of Poker (ACOP) and the European Deepstack Poker Championship (EDSPC) are merging again this year offering a schedule of 34 events over 10 days at the Regency Hotel !  Beside the epic Winamax Poker Open taking place in late September at the Regency Hotel, Dublin will be the scene of another major Poker event before this fall. The DUBLIN POKER INVASION is the result of the joint efforts of the MEGA POKER SERIES and REDBET LIVE and will take place from 1st to 14th of September 2015.  Besides providing live streaming services for poker clients like GUKPT or Winamax, D4 Events are for sure one of Europe’s leading independent poker tournament promoters still around. Over the years, they have managed to consolidate an ongoing offer of great European Poker rendez-vous. The European Short-handed Poker Championship is simply Europe’s largest 6 Max poker festival and has grown in numbers every year since it’s inception in 2009 reaching +/- 1k fields in the 2013 and 2014 Winamax sponsored events with a buy-in of €550. The European Deepstack Poker Championships has been on for eight years now and is still gathering players from all over the continent every year in February. D4 Events also recently launched the Amateur Championships Of Poker, a series of tournaments taking place shortly before the EDSPC.  This year, D4 Events have decided to merge the ACOP and the EDSPC into one great Poker festival called the DUBLIN POKER FESTIVAL. The new festival with kick off on January 30th and will last until February 8th at the Regency Hotel perfectly situated between the airport and the Dublin city center. This new major European Poker gathering incorporates the two previously mentioned very well known events to give birth to a full 10 days of 24h table action. [From the D4 Events website] 'The European Deepstack Poker Championships is now entering it’s 8th season, this event broke the mould from the outset by giving players a 50.000 starting stack and together with a dream structure this quickly became a 'must play' event, it has and continues to attract players from around the world. Season 7 saw the introduction of the 100.000 starting stack, this was very well received by all participants and with such positive feedback we will continue into season 8 with the 100.000 starting stack. ACOP – Amateur Championships Of Poker enters it’s 3rd season, this event is really going from strength to strength, a €200 buy-in gives you a 25.000 starting stack and 40 minute levels to test and hone your poker skills, this event is managed to a very high standard that you would normally only find at the larger buy-in events, professional dealers and floor staff, live streaming, live entertainment , secure environment and most of all 'fun' both on and off the tables. This event is a must for any player wishing to experience big time poker for a modest buy-in.' The Dublin Poker Festival has something for everyone with a wide buy-in range and different Poker games on the menu. Have a look at the schedule for full details!
