I met Alexandre Rotenberg in Portugal at Casino Estoril a few years ago. We both play poker, we are both wanderers, we both love photography, we both fly drones. We were meant to build this long-lasting friendship made of occasional common trips and frequently being thousands of miles apart. He was in Europe when I left to the US last autumn and, now that I'm back in Europe, he is enjoying South America.
We're checking in regularly via the Great Interwebs and we keep each other posted about what's going on. Alex is in Brazil at the moment and he is sending in photos of some poker games in Rio de Janeiro. Welcome to the Rio Poker Clube!
Historically, the Namur Winter Festival has always been one of the highlights of the poker year. It has been one of the first events of the room to feature a main event with more than 1k entries and it has reached more than 2.5k entries in 2023.
The Winter Festival is the first major poker gathering in Namur for 2024. Fun in the snow combined with action on the felt with a majestic scenery. How about some winter poker in Liechtenstein in late January and early February?
The Fontainebleau is the latest addition to the modern multi-billion-dollar constructions on the Las Vegas Strip. I did a photo (and cocktail) tour of the casino area in December just before the new year and roughly two weeks after the official opening on December 13th, 2023.
One of Sin City's most well-known poker series is coming back to the Venetian poker room from late January.
The Venetian Deepstack Showdown will be back to the Las Vegas Strip between 8th and 28th January.
The World Series of Poker Circuit will be back in Morocco in late January. Discover the Es Saadi Casino Resort through their website and get in touch for travel bookings.
Every year, the Admiral Casino in Seville kicks off the new year with the grand final event of the previous year. It's a great way to kick off the year with a bang. Conchi is one of the major poker promoters in Andalusia, collaborates with the other existing Spanish poker circuits, and her latest own project is called Queen Poker Series with a 100k guarantee put in place for January.
At Banco Casino Bratislava, many things have changed over 2023 with the intensified poker schedule and the completion of the brand-new non-smoking poker room but straights will probably still beat bluffs with the runner runner nut flush blocker next year, the river will keep bringing nasty surprises, and the old grumpy reg, who plays every day and who always complains, will still not do his poker homework and he will keep running bad also in the new year :-)
What will also probably not change is the amount of poker action to come and yes ... Scandinavians should still be good drinking buddies in 2024 and Bratislava is likely keep its status of one of our favourite European cities in the poker landscape. Let's go find out in early January. |
