The Poker Belgique Monster 2018 is over with a Main Event that gathered 835 entries and unstoppable champion, Sébastien Hetzel, who is just having an incredible end of 2018 at Poker Belgique since a few weeks.

My photo archive (+200 photos) is available on my Flickr account and you can view Jonathan Koszulap's coverage under www.pokerbelgique.be.

After a pleasant week in the Netherlands hopping from Holland Casino to Holland Casino in Breda, Amsterdam and Zandvoort where I enjoyed an almost 10-km on the autumn beaches [photos on my Flickr] on Wednesday, I made my way to Namur in Belgium for the PokerBelgique Monster Tournament finals over the weekend. 

Last minute changes for this week! Although I decided to stop working as a #pokernamur reporter after the Namur MegaStack in September, I still intended to come over for the Oktoberfest this week to play cash games and shoot some photography for the Namur Poker room but the board took the bizarre last minute decision not to let me shoot at the casino anymore at all since I am not reporting officially for them.

As a result, I decided to enjoy my time on the BeNeLux roads this weekend starting with the Friday event at the Poker Room of Spa before moving on to the Breda Small Ball Series for the weekend.

Off to Amsterdam from Sunday night or Monday morning after that before the Monster Tournament finals for PokerBelgique in Namur before a few days of family time in Luxembourg and I will be back in Belgium later in November as well for the #PROS Roller Coaster Festival after a short hop to Portugal for the CNP Estoril.

Pokernamurevent.be has been going through some revamping over the last days with a new agenda section and more to come. Go Have a look!

I will be back in the Benelux area from 22nd landing in Luxembourg to start with. Over the coming week, I will most likely spend my time playing cash games and shooting some pictures in Namur during the OktoberFest but not for a proper coverage this time.

Le PokerStars MegaStack Namur est en cours depuis lundi avec déjà 660 inscriptions au compteur en trois Days 1 et un pique décerné dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi à Edwin Sokolowski pour sa victoire dans le Big Tuesday.

Aujourd'hui, place au Day 1D du Main Event qui devrait nous faire passer la barre des 1000 entreés.

Je resterai en Belgique jusqu'à lundi et j'animerai le coverage avec des infos, des photos et  les résultats quotidiens sous pokernamurevent.be. Un streaming y sera également proposé par CP à partir de vendredi.

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.

Lundi, 27 août 2018: le début officiel des travaux pour la transformation du Grand Casino de Namur avec la construction d'un nouvel hôtel. Les premiers camions de matériels sont arrivés aujourd'hui comme le relate la page Facebook 'Kursaal de Namur' où des photos des premières arrivées de camions ont été publiées ce matin.

Autre événement de la semaine au casino en bord de Meuse au pied de la citadelle: le Holiday Festival, dernier événement Poker d'envergure des vacances d'été 2018 avant une petite trêve et un MegaStack Namur qui s'annonce hors norme fin septembre!

All WaSOP results are online under www.pokernmurevent.be.

Ok, ok ... the title is not the greatest :p But wait, Belgium is a great place to spend the summer months ... when it does not rain. You just have to enjoy those summer minutes you get from time to time to the fullest extend. And the Belgians compensate with the warmth and sunshine from their heart. No? Still not convinced?

Poker! There's Poker. There will be a lot of Poker these weeks in the Wallonian capital!

It's chill time! Greetings from Portugal where I'm off for two weeks enjoying the heat, playing cards and meeting friends. My brother is coming over with a buddy later this month to spice it all up with some Golf and Surf sessions. Life is beautiful. Repeat three times every morning ;)

Below, you will find a bunch of info about what is going on these weeks at Casino Estoril Poker room followed by a detailed preview of my almost 100% Belgian August 2018: WaSOP Namur, European Poker Series Spa & Holiday Festival Namur with a few days of Portugal in between if I can make it.

My Flickr photo archive is up to date with my latest albums of the Namur World Cup Festival and of the Spanish Poker Festival at King's Casino Rozvadov last week. Enjoy!

There is some #pokernamur in the air for this week with the World Cup Festival starting tonight at the Namur Casino.

I will be making my way to Belgium this afternoon and I will stay on the spot to report about the events of the week featuring the return of www.pokernamurevent.be to get all the updates about the festival.

Find out about more upcoming Poker trips in my last post in this blog.

After a week in Riga in between days of Portuguese bliss, I will soon be off on a small tour again. Photos of my last Portugal stays and of the Riga Cash Game Weekend are available in the PHOTOS & COVERAGES section or in my Flickr archive.

Next stop: the #pokernamur World Cup Festival ! Back in Belgium next week for another edition of the monthly Namur Poker rendez-vous.

Information can be found under www.circuspoker.be but it looks like I will be publishing my coverage again on www.pokernamurevent.be from this festival on. More news soon ...

#pokernamur on Facebook HERE.

After almost a week in Belgium, I am off again but I did not leave without leaving souvenirs behind ;) You can find all #pokernamur information under www.circuspoker.be and you will find festival photos day by day in the PHOTOS & COVERAGES section of this website.

Below, I prepared a gallery with all the festival's photos at once. Enjoy and see you on the road!

C'est reparti pour une semaine de #pokernamur pour le Sun Festival ... évidemment sans soleil. Ça reste la Wallonie :)

Pour les mises à jour quotidienne, le service marketing du casino s'occupe de www.circuspoker.be.

Pour ma part, ce sera comme dernièrement des mises à jour et du matériel audiovisuel sur la page Facebook Poker du casino.

Pour les archives photo, ça se passe toujours sur Flickr et vous trouverez des mises à jour régulières sur la page Facebook The-Rounderdotnet ainsi que sur Instagram ou Twitter.

While my Instagram for sure begins to have a smell of grilled sardines and vegetables, it's time to leave Portugal for a bit of back and forward between Luxembourg, Namur, Cascais, Riga, Rozvadov and Spa over the next weeks.

Forget sea, sex & sun! We have Meuse, Poker & sun (maybe) in Namur!

The Poker festivals in Namur are again pretty popular this year with massive low buy-in fields generated in the early year, a great Namur Classic's and, again, more than 600 entries in the Spring Festival's Main Event in late April/early May.

During this May, the Poker action will not slow down with the return of the APAT.be with a Namur leg I will not attend. Their media team will take good care of the coverage of the event under www.apat.be and I will be back in Wallonia for the Sun Festival from 22nd to 27th of May.

What is more, I will also be back for the World Cup Festival and you will most probably see me around in late July/early August for the WaSOP ...

After 8 days of #pokernamur action during the Spring Festival, it's a wrap after the last 4 tournaments on 1st of May and Rico Chevalot is the winner of the 629-headed Main Event.

There's a lot more coming up at the Grand Casino de Namur over the coming weeks. Stay tuned via our agenda.

Rendez-vous à Namur cette semaine pour le Spring Festival sur une durée de 8 jours!

Suivez les parties du jour et visionnez les photos sur la page Facebook Circus Poker.

Sur cette page, des mises à jour sont régulièrement disponibles dans les NOTES et nous y téléchargeons un ALBUM PHOTO par jour de festival.

Toutes les photos sont également disponibles en version moins compressée sur Flickr.

Les résultats seront disponibles dans l'onglet RESULTATS du site Circus Poker après la fin du tournoi. Toutes les structures de ce festival sont consultables sur Dropbox.

Nouvelle semaine, celle des Namur Classic's! Le grand rendez-vous #pokernamur approche à grands pas et le staff Poker du Grand Casino de Namur vous donne rendez-vous dès ce weekend pour une série de tournois pendant 11 jours.

Avant cela, vous aurez encore droit à un Big Tuesday demain soir. Je serai également sur Namur dès demain pour le tournage de quelques vidéos promotionnelle pour le casino et j'en profiterai pour jouer un peu moi-même.

Déjà la troisième mois de l'année et il est donc bientôt l'heure de retourner au charbon avec le Namur Classic's qui approche et, contrairement aux deux premiers festivals de l'année qui ont tous les deux duré moins d'une semaine, celui-ci s'étendra sur deux weekends!

Retrouvez les infos et pensez à réserver sous circuspoker.be.

Pour les amateurs, l'archive du Carnival Festival est toujours en ligne et, en ce qui me concerne, je compte passer quelque chose comme deux semaines en bord de Meuse pour du cash game dealer's choice et un reportage complet de tout le festival avant de changer de bord ... pour le bord de l'océan Atlantic à Estoril au Portugal :)

I spent the last week in Namur reporting about the Carnival Festival and I am now off to Paris to direct the live broadcasting sessions of the Winamax Poker Tour finals over the two coming days. Later today, I will post links to follow our live streams on THE-ROUNDERdotnet Facebook page.

In the meanwhile, you can view a selection of my #pokernamur Poker photography of the week by following the links below. The live streaming archive is available on the Circus Poker Facebook page VIDEOS section and you can view all the festival results in the document below the Carnival Hall of Fame.
