Belgium is the place where I will cool off after three months spent in Las Vegas. From Nevada to Belgium over The Netherlands and Luxembourg after my last Belgian visit in spring. All Wallonia Series of Poker [ WaSOP ] info links are available in this post.

It's that time of the year again. Poker summer is coming to an end... at least my Las Vegas part of it. There will be more poker for me throughout the rest of summer but it will be on the European side. Belgium to start with, a few days after flying from Las Vegas to Amseterdam and Malta later in early September. More trips might be added to the list but have repeatedly told me that one has to sleep and take care of oneself and see loved ones sometimes... so I will also try that a bit during August. Might be worth it... :-)
The VAMOS POKER TOUR (VPT) teams up with THE FESTIVAL SERIES in September for a combined 2-headed poker festival dragon to slay between 4th and 18th September.
The full schedule has just been released. Stay tuned under the MALTA tag of the blog for updates.
Time to fly to Europe soon for a series of exciting poker festivals across the continent. Details are being updated in the POKER TRIPS section over these weeks and it's always possible to join the WHATSAPP community for weekly poker travel inspiration.
At the end of this U.S. trip, more than 2.000 photo impressions will have been added to my archive. Most of them are being published for PokerFirma.com. All of them are available for viewing in the Flickr archive below. Prepare a tea, sit back and enjoy the views. The capital of Slovakia will be the host of a series of international poker events over the months of July and August. I might attend one of them during later stages of this summer. As usual, all details are available on our POKERTURNIERE.LIVE portal for fellow traveling poker players.
The last minute summer poker rentals have more or less been taken care of at this stage and we are navigating full steam ahead towards the end of another extended stay in Las Vegas. What started as a slow year on the Nevada real estate market, turned into a pretty busy spring and summer with properties coming back on the market and buyers being out for shopping again. Many new rental options are also available for mid-term and long-term stays?
Tired of the ridiculously overpriced Strip life? Planning a long grind in Las Vegas over the coming months? Or maybe, you are even thinking about investing in Sin City...
Two of my favourite live poker promoters of Europe are cooking something together for September. For the regs of tis blog, the VAMOS POKER TOUR and THE FESTIVAL should be names that ring a bell. If not, there is plenty of info available in the POKER TRIPS section.
The two brands have just announced the perfect alignment of two of their upcoming events making for a packed 12-day live poker schedule in one of the hottest poker spots in Europe. Soon, the WPT will kick off the Alpha8 Trifecta series at the Wynn Las Vegas Poker Room. Three glamorous two-day events are coming up for a buy-in of 25k USD each.
The dates are set to June 25-26, July 3-4 and July 10-11. I am fortunate enough to be one of the lucky photo people running around with an official WPT Media Pass this summer in Las Vegas and I will be delivering photos of the Wynn for PokerFirma.com. THE FESTIVAL SERIES stopped in Rozvadov, Czech Republic for the first time in 2024 (see Franke's interview by Lemon Poker below) and the fun goes on for the rest of the year with scheduled stops in Malta and Bratislava.
Besides, Bratislava, Slovakia and Nottingham, UK, I joined The Festival in Malta in May 2023 and it looks like I'll be heading back to Malta in September 2024.
Our Mare*GO is still patrolling the Mediterranean Sea regularly. New crews are constantly trained and our old yellow lady of the seas always needs a lot of attention and maintenance. The project has come a long way since the Mare*GO was taken over by Zusammenland in early 2023.

More photos are added almost daily to their Facebook albums too and a huge pile of photos is online in the PHOTO ARCHIVE.
I've been in the U.S. for a full month already. Nevada, Arizona, California. Life is good but my digital cameras are working hard in the desert heat. Hundreds of photos came together already and I have decided to do occasional photo recaps in the form of video dumps on my YouTube channel.
I wrote a story of my encounter with JOHN STRONG for PokerFirma.com (in German) during my recent trip to California.
There is an English version below. Enjoy the ride/read!
