A successful debut for SharkBay

For its first edition in France, the new festival conceived by the teams at Texapoker and their partner EuroRounders attracted players to the Pasino Grand in Aix-en-Provence.

Over the course of six days, 14 poker tournaments gathered just over 1,900 entrants and redistributed a little more than €417,000. The highlight of this inaugural festival was the €400 buy-in Main Event, which concluded on Sunday afternoon with Stéphane Knoll's victory, earning him €22,000, ahead of Rémi De Rossi.

"I would like to thank everyone who participated in the Sharkbay festival," emphasized Texapoker CEO Apo Chantzis. "The turnout was impressive! A special thanks to EuroRounders, my friends and partners from across the Alps, for agreeing to co-organize this festival with stages all over France."

Upcoming SharkBay Events

As a partner of Texapoker, EuroRounders will be leading the next SharkBay festival, which will take place from October 15 to 21 at Casino Velden in Austria, before returning to France from November 19 to 24 at the Partouche Casino in Divonne-les-Bains for the second of six already announced stages.

The full schedule for this second French edition of the SharkBay festival will be revealed in the coming weeks on our website, where you will also be able to reserve your spot. "Thanks to my staff and all the teams at Pasino Grand, as well as the Partouche group for their continued trust," added Apo Chantzis. "And let's not forget Winamax, which organizes online satellites every week to qualify at a lower cost."
