The late summer weeks are packed with poker action at Banco Casino in the heart of the Slovak capital. The POKER TRIPS section features plenty of info links and I will post highlights of my late summer in Bratislava below.
For some festivals, Banco Casino or the promoter offer great value promos on hotel rooms. Interested players are welcome to get in touch for details. Rude Monkey Travel is also at everybody's disposal for the booking of custom experiences in and around the city. I used to spend a lot of time at the Namur Casino. As a matter of fact, between 2012 and 2018, I was the house photographer of the run-down poker room dating back to the 80s. Plenty of pics from that time are still online in the photo archive. With no legal live poker option in Luxembourg where I was based until 2012, Namur and Belgium in general became the spot where my poker photography started to reach more people and, eventually, poker brands. It is also the place that kick-started my career as a live poker player.
After a long stay in Las Vegas this summer, I came to cool down in Belgium :-) and I spent early August in Namur to cover mostly the WaSOP Main Event beside the end of the High Roller, the PKO, the Mystery Bounty, the Closer, and the Sunday Special.
Highlights, useful links, and results with photos are available in my WaSOP post. Although I am devoting a lot of attention to Las Vegas these weeks, there is a lot of action going on in one of my European hubs over August and September and I will be visiting soon. Welcome to the Bratislava Summer Poker action at Banco Casino! (up to the late September Winamax Poker Open)
A trip is usually best when it's well prepared and in good company. THE-ROUNDERdotnet is about going places and, over the years, I have teamed up with amazing partners.
I am in the process of putting the pieces together for a new www.the-rounder.net website that is hopefully coming up for the late summer weeks. It is going to be a whole new thingy built from scratch featuring my photos, promo for partner events and a new POKER TRIPS section as a travel agency with offers and resources for traveling poker players.
After a big chunk of the summer spent in Vegas, I'll bee off to Namur, Belgium in early August in order to attend and document the finals of the WaSOP poker festival running from 26th July to 6th August.
One Drop, the famous foundation working on providing clean water to everyone is present at the Wynn Las Vegas this week with the World Poker Tour and I'm grateful for having credentials to shoot the entire event.
I'll embed highlights with PokerFirma.com updates and social media posts below over the week for those who want to keep up with things and more details about other #pokersolidarity actions I support with this blog are available HERE.
As an attempt to live the dream the protagonists of his poker graphic novel are living, Anish Patel has played the WSOP Main Event this summer. He's not made it to the Final Nine though :-)
I will be in Sin City from mid-June to early August.
This is a subjective post started in early February 2023 and essentially composed of highlights of content produced between early May and late August 2023 featuring teaser posts before, documentation during, and throwback stuff after the trip. German content on PokerFirma.comFrench content on ACDVA trip to Vegas is always an epic opportunity for amazing photos but it's also THE time of the year when it's easiest for me to put in an insane amount of Poker volume. I usually try to combine both resulting in severe sleep depravation but awesome memories. Last year, I got invited by Tyler Nals to take part in a great Meetup Game at MGM. The games and the vibes were great. I could not find the right spots to spin it up that night and ended up losing one stack over the night all in all but I’m keeping nice memories of the people I met around the tables.
This summer, Tyler is back with a great invite to a VEGAS POKER CRAWL. Details are available below in this post.
Summer comes with two major Poker events in Belgium this year: the HAVANA week and the classic WaSOP festival of early August. I will miss the first one but chances are I will make my way to Namur in early August. Stay tuned for more details below in the thread and in the Namur section of this blog.
SHIP IT! We went all-in on a boat.
2023 began like this: Not sure yet how we're going to handle all the paperwork and something tells me that the accountant is not a fan of the project... :-D
... but we have a boat for rescue operations at sea in the Mediterranean. This thread will be updated as the project goes. Welcome aboard the Mare*GO!
Multiple international Day 1s across Europe and a big Poker festival in Bratislava from 5th to 12th June 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!
