Paris Open of Poker


The Paris Open of Poker may not be the best title in the world but it is one of the biggest and most respected tournaments in France, so let the games begin! From today, players should mosey along the ‘Most Beautiful Avenue in the World’ (no, not Acacia, the Champs Elysees) to find the Aviation Club De France, a high class joint, promising ‘elegance, conviviality and sophistication’.

For those more focused on the merits of rolled up kings, it also offers a series of games to suit a variety of budgets, culminating on Saturday Feb 16 with the start of the showpiece €2,000 NL freezeout. With the number of entrants capped at 150 (presumably to keep out the riff-raff) expect the winner to slope away with about €130,000.
