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!

About Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is one of the smallest sovereign countries in the world. The tiny speck of land is landlocked in central Europe in the middle of stunning Alpine scenery, welcoming small charming villages, and very decent tourist and cultural attractions.
Nature’s beauty is probably what stands out most when you visit the first time. The views on the majestic peaks, the clear lakes, and the gorgeous green or white valleys depending on the season are a visual treat. Size does not matter when it comes to cultural and historical heritage. Castles, museums, art galleries… there are many options to learn about the place’s rich past but the great outdoors remain what people usually visit this place for. Depending on the season, there are plenty of offers for skiing, snowboarding, climbing, fishing, hiking, or boating. The local food is the result of typical mountain cuisine influenced by Swiss and Austrian dishes. Specialties include Käsknöpfle (a type of pasta with cheese) and Älplermagronen (a hearty macaroni dish), as well as tasty wines and beers produced in the country's many vineyards and breweries. Last but not least, Liechtenstein is a welcoming, neat and safe place featuring one of the big poker rooms of the European continent. You can visit the Grand Casino Liechtenstein's website HERE for details.
