In June 2018, I decided to spend a few weeks off in Portugal between stops in Riga, Latvia and Namur, Belgium. I ended up playing loads of cash games and spent a week in a cork plantation near Samora Correia (Santarem) chilling by the pool while drinking Lambrusco during the day and shooting the dark Portuguese countryside skies at night. Tough life!

There is some #pokernamur in the air for this week with the World Cup Festival starting tonight at the Namur Casino.
I will be making my way to Belgium this afternoon and I will stay on the spot to report about the events of the week featuring the return of www.pokernamurevent.be to get all the updates about the festival. Find out about more upcoming Poker trips in my last post in this blog.

- 2 nights at Radisson Blu Palace from 10th to 12th or from 11th to 13th August >> €509 instead of €597 The standard package includes:
Yesterday, I made my way to Latvia from Lisbon and here we are now kicking off another cash game event in another great casino, the Royal Casino Poker Club in the heart of Riga.

See you in Riga!! 
The Spa Casino will be the host of one of my biggest Poker projects during this summer, the European Poker Series in the middle of August for 12 days of Poker surrounded by the pittoresque forests next to the Formula 1 race track in Spa-Francorchamps.   But before that, PokerStarsBE will make a stop in Spa with the Spring leg of the Belgian Poker Challenge. You can visit the Casino de Spa Facebook Poker page or their website for more info about this upcoming event. While my Instagram for sure begins to have a smell of grilled sardines and vegetables, it's time to leave Portugal for a bit of back and forward between Luxembourg, Namur, Cascais, Riga, Rozvadov and Spa over the next weeks. #allineverywhere   Je pars à Riga début Juin <3 :)
Voilà une dizaine d'années que je n'y avais pas mis les pieds et, à l'époque, ce n'était pas pour du Poker, mais pour des bons vieux concerts de Punk et de Hardcore et des festivals de musique dans les forêts aux quatre coins du pays. Changement de décors donc, même si j'espère bien retrouver des amis d'antan dans certains des nombreux lieux culturels underground de la ville... Envie de passer un séjour Poker inoubliable? Alors que tout le monde se rue sur les destinations au bord de plages pendant les mois creux avant que les touristes ne débarquent, Cash Game Tour et Poker Trest proposent, une fois de plus de se retrouver dans un cadre excellent au sein d'une ville d'exception, un des bijoux des pays Baltes, Riga, la capitale Lettonne. Au menu, c'est simple et efficace: du cash game, du cash game et encore du cash game :) Mettant un point d'honneur sur la sélection des lieux de ses étapes, les Cash Game Weekends proposent des formules attrayantes vous permettant de profiter de la ville et de tous ses attraits culturels et touristiques sans les contraintes des horaires de tournoi. Que vous soyez plutôt du matin ou de la nuit, plutôt branché PLO ou NLH, vous jouez quand vous voulez et autant que vous voulez. Il y aura toujours une table pour vous accueillir.
Forget sea, sex & sun! We have Meuse, Poker & sun (maybe) in Namur!
The Poker festivals in Namur are again pretty popular this year with massive low buy-in fields generated in the early year, a great Namur Classic's and, again, more than 600 entries in the Spring Festival's Main Event in late April/early May. 
During this May, the Poker action will not slow down with the return of the APAT.be with a Namur leg I will not attend. Their media team will take good care of the coverage of the event under www.apat.be and I will be back in Wallonia for the Sun Festival from 22nd to 27th of May.
What is more, I will also be back for the World Cup Festival and you will most probably see me around in late July/early August for the WaSOP ...  In one month, the Golden Poker Series family will stop in Portugal again. After the European Poker Series Estoril a few weeks ago, the Spanish promoter is setting up a stop for its Silver Poker Series (SPS) on the Portuguese Atlantic coast. The festival will take place from 7th to 11th June with information to be found on: - the SPS Facebook page & website - the Casino Estoril Poker Facebook page - the Casino Estoril online calendar   Cheers and happiness !! I am flying to Riga in roughly one month as Cash Game Tour has announced a stop in the Baltics. We have just set up an extensive information page for all interested players including general information about the location and accommodation deals. I will be on the spot for some re-potting and I will be in charge of documenting the event with photos and videos.    Located roughly 20km from Monastir, the Casino Europe in Sousse is offering great deals for some Poker grinding under the Mediterranean sun. This new Poker destination in Tunisia provides you with a 5-star luxury accommodation from 5 hours of cash game per day. Access will also be granted to the hammam, gym and swimming pool. What is more, you can cumulate your playing hours so don't have to commit to playing the full 5 hours every single day.  The new King's Rozvadov newsletter is coming up with the listing of their upcoming events until the Football World Cup in Russia. €2.000.000 are awaiting for small buy-ins ... Find out everything there is to know under www.pokerroomkings.com. You can also subscribe the newsletter HERE.  
Less than a month to go before the return of the Spanish Poker Festival to Rozvadov with a Winter Edition from 28th January to 4th February but there is also a lot of action already announced in Spain by various Poker promoters.
CNP & LPS have announced most of their 2018 stops already with tournaments all over Iberia and GPS will also be back with Silver Poker Series in January and February before a Golden Poker Series stop at Casino Gran Madrid in March. The promoters of the SPF at King's will also be active on home soil with a bunch of events scheduled for the beginning of the New Year like the Spanish Winter Series in Castellon until 7th January, the Levante Poker Challenge also taking place at Casino Gran Madrid in mid-January before the SPF at King's. Soon after, another event will take place at Casino de Mallorca and another Levante Poker Challenge stop is planned from 23rd to 25th February at the Gran Casino Extremadura. Let's get our credit cards ready to book flights and accommodation :p 
 photo d'un road trip en France datant de 2011 Pour une raison obscure, j'ai beaucoup de mal à me décider à bouger en France quand je sélectionne mes destinations de voyage. Pourtant, je maîtrise la langue, le pays est plutôt grand avec des paysages et des cultures variées et sa scène Poker semble y vivre un renouveau ... ou pas ...
 I have skipped the WSOP in the middle of the desert this year and I am thinking of flying back to Sicko-City this year to shoot photos, grind the cash games and ... why not ... fire a few bullets at bracelet events. After the recent leaking of most of the upcoming 2018 schedule, the 49th annual World Series of Poker® (WSOP®) – the richest, most prestigious and longest-running poker series – unveils its official event schedule for the 2018 summer iteration at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, with a tournament festival consisting of a comprehensive slate of the game’s most popular poker variations running from May 29 through July 17.  © Damian LIB for PokerMagazin To view the entire 78-event gold bracelet tournament schedule, please visit: WSOP 2018 Schedule (download PDF below) where all events are visible, and a downloadable version is provided. The annual poker extravaganza, which dates back to 1970, will be televised exclusively on ESPN networks and live streamed on PokerGO. The full television and live streaming schedules will be announced at a later date. 
 I am still thinking of dates and of photo/video projects ideas so, to give me some inspiration and motivation, I started looking back at some photos I shot during my 3-month trip in 2016 and I am happy to share some of these with you again today.
