Two more days to go before the 777Kings Festival kicks off at the P.R.O.S. with a total of 7 Poker tournaments over the coming week featuring a €170 Main Event. All Info is available in the dedicated THE-ROUNDERdotnet article an on pokerroomofspa.com.

What's more, we will have the pleasure to welcome two special ambassadors for the occasion: Joselito Nalinnes coming to represent EPS & Poker Belgique and the winner of the last online contest with European Poker Series, Julien Michoel.

Every few weeks, the Casino Estoril Poker department comes up with a special Poker event besides the regular weekly tournaments but you might strike gold the December if you are considering Estoril as one of your Poker stops. The Golden Poker Series are stopping in Portugal and here are all the details!

All Casino Estoril events are listed in the online agenda and you stay up to date via the Casino Estoril Poker Facebook Page.

After Madrid, I am enjoying the Portuguese November sun for a few days before making the first of my two December trips to Belgium. The destination is the Poker Room of Spa where two major Poker events will take place before the holidays. The first is the 777Kings Festival with 7 events on the menu featuring a €170 Main Event over 2 days.

Just before Christmas, the X-Mss festival will provide another 4-tournament event for the end of the year.

All details are listed on the Poker Room of Spa website and will also find a full calendar with all regular events and cash game rendez-vous.

It's time to #punishthespanish again!! :D

I left Spa this morning after some photo reporting over the Roller Coaster Festival weekend days and I stayed one extra day to attend the Poker Room of Spa Monday Cash Game Night yesterday. I was able to book a positive session but my highlight of the weekend was my second place finish in the Chill Out event while I was still posting updates and shooting pictures of the final stages of the Main Event final table. Poker an easy game :)

I will be back in Spain next week to #punishthespanish because they still deserve it :D

After a stop at CNP Estoril recently, I am now attending the Poker Room Of Spa Roller Coaster Festival in Belgium before leaving to Madrid next Wednesday for the finals of the CNP GRAN FINAL.

The festival is already in full swing since the 16th of this month and you can follow the action on their Facebook page or on the Laroush Events page.

The CNP Estoril is come to an end last night with the last three win in the MAIN EVENT, the LIGA DO POQUER NACIONAL and the WIN THE BUTTON. All recaps are online on the Casino Estoril Poker Facebook page where I have published daily notes and photo albums.

I only arrived on Thursday but PokerPT was on the spot for the whole week providing a proper and extensive coverage including more photos and video content.

Big up to Pedro for winning the Main Event!! He is clearly one of the ones on the good side of the Poker Force :) I met him in the 45°C heat of a caliente summer festival in Madrid during the summer of 2017. Since then, it's always a pleasure to cross his path. He bested a field of 149 entries with more than €14.5k on top!

​I have uploaded a photo archive of my stay at Casino Estoril last week for those who care. It can be found on my Flickr account.

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. 

I guess there are many places a lot worse to be bust as the charming small town of Breda in the South of the Netherlands :) Last night, I played Day 1C of the local Small Ball Series Main Event and it took me 11 levels to finally make it over the starting stack mark with a volatile 20bb stack after beating A6 offsuite with a very powerfull QT suited in a steal attempt from the SB :p

A few hands after that, I was all in again and busted with one of the only real hand of my Poker night: Jacks UTG+1! ... that ran into Kings UTG+2 ... GG! I left the casino with a buddy from Luxembourg to have some drinks in the center while Mark Roovers was busy shipping the side event of the night. Nice one!

Day off in Breda for now or maybe some more Poker tonight to enjoy one of my favourite casinos around but I am leaving town tomorrow for glorious Amsterdam!

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.

Beside the daily cash games 1/2 NLHE > 5/10 PLO and the weekly MTTs, Casino Estoril regularly teams up with external partners like the Spanish Poker Festival in September and there are two more major Poker rendez-vous to come for this winter!

The CNP Estoril 6>11 Nov & the GPS Estoril 3>9 Dec.

​#estorilpoker info can be found on their online agenda or on their Poker Facebook page.

Along with the 'national' stops in Spain and recently in Estoril, Portugal last September, the Spanish Poker Festival also offers two stops at Rozvadov's Kings on it's circuit every year. The last one took place this summer and the promoters have just announced the packages for the winter 2019 edition. They tend to sell out quickly, so don't tank for too long.

You can find my SPF Summer 2018 photos on my Flickr.

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.

After a last stop in Belgium before late September (PokerStars MegaStack), I will be off to Portugal after a short stay in Luxembourg early next week.

So soon, back to Estoril for cash game sessions of course but skipping the hiking and surfing schedule for the next weeks because of my injured ankle. As a result, guess what ... we're gonna play some more Poker :p and I will be off to Troia for my first visit there. I will be attending the Troia Poker Fest leaving the MTT glory to those who want it really bad and aiming for the daily cash game tables.

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!

I am back to what is closest to what I can call a home these days: Estoril, Portugal. The plan was to go all-in on surf sessions and hiking/photo trips on the Atlantic coast before I wrecked my ankle on my first day out after 24 days of straight Poker action in Belgium for the WaSOP in Namur and the EPS Spa.

As a consequence, I am out of the surfing and hiking business until October or so and you will find part of my revenge plan below with the Big Estoril this weekend and the Spanish Poker Festival that will be in town in September.

If you enjoy Poker photography, there are roughly 800 photos online of my 12-day stay in Spa for the EPS this August. All photos are accessible via the PHOTOS & COVERAGES section of this site or in my Flickr archive.

Below, you can view the hall of fame with 8 winners of the offical EPS Spa events. GG to all the ITM players and see you soon on the circuit.

The European Poker Series [EPS] Spa is on since the 8th of August and we have already 4 winners to celebrate after the win of Jérôme Sgorrano last night in the PLO event after a heads-up deal with Robert Auer.

Follow the action live under european-pokerseries.com and find my photos in the PHOTOS & COVERAGES section.

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.

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

We are a few days away from the kickoff of the European Poker Series in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes in Spa and things are slowly getting into good shape to welcome the first visitors from this Wednesday, 8th August.
