The QPS have voluntarily decided to stay behind the main frontline of the poker promoter wars of the Iberian peninsula. First of all, the series describes itself as a low-buy-in option with entry prices of around 200 Eur for the main events and about 400 Eur for the high roller tournaments of the series. It doesn't get friendlier than that in today's poker world.

I have not visited Karlovy Vary in years and there seems to be a great PLO festival building up at Casino Thermal for mid-January. The THERMAL PLO FESTIVAL promises 24h action featuring PLO 4/5/6. Frank Koopmann, the historic founder of the Big Wrap PLO festival, is the go-to person for info and deals.  2024 will end where it started for me: in Las Vegas. Just like last winter, I am very-super-max-fortunate to have an all access photo pass for the World Poker Tour Championship festival this December at the Wynn/Encore casino on the Strip - pew pew - shooting time! Reports will be available via PokerFirma.com.  The last major Namur poker event of 2024 is the Circus Poker Series festival. Hundreds of thousands of Eur are at stake in the richest tournaments of the Belgian poker year. Photo impressions of the whole series are available via the links below and daily updates are published on PokerFirma.com.  No time to keep up with all the things happening online?

A pitstop in Luxembourg is almost never about good weather and awesome light but that does not stop photographers from getting out there and trying to capture shots. My colleague, friend and fellow photography lover, Alex Rotenberg came to visit the tiny Grand-Duchy this week and he is leaving aerial photo impressions of his autumn stay behind.
Laughlin, Nevada was founded in the 1960s by Don Laughlin, who saw an opportunity to build a resort town on the Colorado River. Originally a small community, it grew quickly with the construction of casinos, hotels, and other tourist attractions. Its location on the river and its proximity to major cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix helped make Laughlin a popular gaming and leisure destination, attracting visitors with a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the energetic Las Vegas Strip.  Resorts World Las Vegas stands on storied ground with a deep-rooted history on the Las Vegas Strip. Located on the site of the former Stardust Resort and Casino, the epicenter of glamour and gaming during Vegas’s early rise to fame in the 1950s and ‘60s, the property got famous for its outer-space-themed signage and allure, entertaining guests from all over the world from 1958 until 2006 when it was demolished, leaving this valuable Strip location vacant and awaiting a new legacy for a few years. The bitter 2008 pill had to be swallowed first.

The-Rounder.net has been going through a few evolutions since the pandemic. One of them is that the website and the community around it are growing and the whole thing is not managed as a one-monkey show anymore. The team is supposed to reach a count of 5-6 people by early 2025. Visit the CONTACT & INFO section for details about our activities. Portugal-based Alexandre Rotenberg has never been very far from the happenings around The-Rounder.net over the last years, so he was a natural addition to the core of the project over time. We have just used some of his South Africa shots in an article about the Cape Town Million 2024 featuring the Hendonmob Championship in collaboration with Sunbet Poker Tour and there is a lot more coming. Another addition to the team has organically been growing as a trusted community member from Las Vegas since 2023. Michelle Richey offers assistance to traveling players looking for a temporary or permanent place to stay in Las Vegas and will add content to website by sharing experiences and helping with the POKER TRIPS section. Welcome, Michelle!

October was packed with plenty of live poker events all over the place. In Las Vegas, where I am spending the beginning of the colder season, the Wynn Autumn Classic festival is coming to an end as the next major event is about to start on the Strip.

Week 42 * USA - Pennsylvania back online * USA - Goodbye Tropicana * NL - Holland Casino Zandvoort to close in early 2025 * ZA - THMC Cape Town Schedule Revealed * SK - Win your The Festival Series Bratislava package * BE - Monster Experience 24 coming up * BE - Sharky Poker Feast 2 in Spa * BE - OktoberFest Souvenir Photos * UAE - Discover the Wynn Al Marjan Island    The Main Event totalled way more than 1500 entries for another massive live poker tournament experience in the heart of Belgium. I fired a bullet at the PLO5 event and made it to level 12 in the Main Event without a showdown. The first showdown was the last, so I'm back to playing the good old Namur cash games and shooting some souvenir photos ;-)   No matter which time of the year, the Namur Casino Resort poker room is either looking back to busy days or looking ahead to highlights to come. The Holiday Festival and a packed WaSOP edition were the main driving poker forces throughout the Belgian summer and more festivals are coming for autumn and winter until the end of the year. So far, the strongest poker room in Belgium has delivered seven major poker festivals in 2024. Three more are to come until Christmas.  Alexandre Meira is flooring and directing many tournament throughout each Belgian poker year and he is also the mind behind one of Belgium's latest local live poker series. The town of Spa was famous for its natural mineral springs. This gave rise to travellers seeking the healing-waters of Spa from as far back as the 14th Century and the Casino de Spa opened in 1763. But too much healing is boring :-) So, at some point, they decided to throw in a bit of SO SICK in the mix and it was one of the very first establishments to start the trend of combining a spa and casino experience. Mayors Xhrouet Lambert and Gerard de Leau are credited with commissioning the building. It was designed by Barthélémy Digneffe and decorated to look like a palace. The Sharky's Poker Feast is back with a second edition during November 2024 in the beautiful forests of Spa, home to the oldest functioning casino in the world.
