France Poker Festival, a big hit in Rozvadov

A staggering 4,679 entries were recorded at the King's Casino in Rozvadov during the France Poker Festival, which is currently drawing to a close in the Czech Republic. Organised by EuroRounders, in collaboration with Texapoker, the FPF has gone from strength to strength.

"In 2021, the King's Resort decided to attempt to relaunch a project that had previously encountered some difficulties in emerging, explains Antony Angeloni, CEO of EuroRounders. The France Poker Festival became one of the brands offered by EuroRounders. It's the first time we've tried this type of synergy, and we're afraid of making mistakes, but we know we can count on Texapoker's support. And that makes us think that there is a basis for trying to build something solid together."

The buy-in for the Main Event was then set at €300, and the players turned out in force with prizepools of €520,000 in March 2022, €608,580 in July 2022 and €679,050 in July 2023. With a buy-in reduced to €190 this year, the FPF has just broken all records in March 2024 with 4,679 entrants and a prizepool of €733,433.

"We would like to thank all the players who have joined us in this and previous editions, the King's Resort and all its incredible staff, the EuroRounders team and Texapoker," adds Antony Angeloni in a message on social networks. "These figures encourage us to continue our efforts and collaborations on a European scale," concludes Texapoker CEO Apo Chantzis.
