 sunrise over the Meuse in Namur, Belgium PokerStars are coming back to their Belgium home in Namur for a Road to PSPC event in late November and early December. Save the dates if you care. I might be around too.

 New Covid regulations come and go in Belgium but the BPC is still on course with a lot of live and online satellites going on.
It's been an intense Poker week at the Grand Casino Aš Poker room in the Czech Republic.
I arrived last Wednesday, on the 27th October for a Poker Belgique photo documentary throughout the week and to play some cash games.  The Grand Casino de Namur has launched its satellite campaign for the BPC Namur Main Event yesterday! Below, you will find a list of all available satellites to the 1k Main Event and I also posted the BPC structures at the end of this post.
 The official flyers have been published for the Belgian Poker Challenge Namur 2021. Check it out below and stay tuned for updates via the POKER TRIPS section. I am still in the tank when it comes to my December plans for the moment. What about you guys? Who is joining?   After an online leg for 2020, the BPC will be back at the Grand Casino de Namur with some live Poker tournaments. Since I spent years there as the in-house Poker photographer and as a cash game regulars, this would be a cool occasion to meet up with tons of buddies after these weird pandemic times. Find the full schedule below in this post! Stay tuned in the BLOG and in the POKER TRIPS section. 
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. 
Sébastien's Poker year 2018 before last week
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. Last year's photos: >> ME 1A >> ME 1B >> ME 1C >> ME 2 >> ME 3  > THE-ROUNDERdotnet on Facebook > Damian LIB on Instagram / Twitter 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.  > 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-ROUNDERdotnet on Facebook > Damian LIB on Instagram / Twitter 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!  
The World Cup is over and Belgium has almost reached the Football Main Event Final Table this year. So close ... just like we all do in MTTs :p
There are some World Cup champions though in Belgium :D View the WORLD CUP FESTIVAL Hall of Fame via the embeded Instagram posts below and find out about the complete schedule of the WaSOP coming up next week. I will be on the spot with updates and photos under pokernamurevent.be. The WORLD CUP PHOTOS are available by following these links: 26/06 Big Tuesday photos 27/06 Main Event Day 1A photos 28/06 Main Event Day 1B photos 29/06 Main Event Day 1C&D photos 30/06 Main Event Day 2 photos If you like photos, my complete Poker photo archive is online HERE and there are tons of additional photos on my Flickr.  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?

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! More info on my trips in the #allineverywhere ON THE ROAD blog of this page.   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. #allineverywhere 
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. All info and results are available under www.circuspoker.be and an extensive selection of +500 of my photos is online below. Enjoy! |
