The Festival Series is back in Rozvadov. Following a successful weekend edition in Vilnius, where Lithuanian players dominated the final day, one of Europe's most colorful poker series returns to its ideal setting. From June 9 to 15, King's Resort Rozvadov will host another major stop of The Festival, kicking off a week that is not just about Hold'em.
The Festival holds a special place for SpadePoker. A long-time partner of the series, it has developed its unique identity over recent years. It aims to be more than just another festival with a Main Event, some side events, and a traditional tournament schedule. The Festival blends poker, mixed games, casino disciplines, hospitality activities, and a community atmosphere where regulars, recreational players, online qualifiers, mixed game enthusiasts, and people out for a poker adventure come together at the same table.
Rozvadov is the perfect spot for this concept. King's Resort is among Europe's most famous poker destinations, and its poker room has long been a symbol of vast fields, nonstop action, and tournaments that draw players from across the continent. The Festival returns for the third consecutive year, promising another exceptional week alongside Europe's largest poker resort.
Last year's Main Event stayed home in the Czech Republic, with Ondřej Már taking the title. Among 1,053 entries, he claimed the title and a €91,001 prize. This story adds another layer to the current edition. It’s not just about who will win the new Main Event, but also whether Czech players can repeat last year's home success.
An even bigger highlight was in The Hendon Mob Championship. Last year, The Festival Series, The Hendon Mob database, and King's Resort created a record-breaking field of 2,417 entries, making the tournament one of the biggest stories of the stop. Winner Haik Tougu took home €51,850 from a €304,542 prize pool. This makes the upcoming THMC event one to watch closely from the start.
Over €1,000,000 in Guarantees and 36 Unique Events
The Festival Rozvadov 2026 will feature 36 unique tournaments over seven days. Buy-ins range from €30 to €1,100, with total series guarantees exceeding €1,000,000. The main attraction is clear: the €550 NLH Main Event with a €500,000 guarantee.
The tournament offers six starting flights and a Flip & Go Pineapple option, giving players several routes to reach Day 2. Classic flights 1A to 1E feature 30-minute levels, while turbo flight 1F offers 15-minute levels. Unlimited re-entries are available during the designated phase of all flights. Day 2 is scheduled for Sunday, June 14 at 17:00, with the final day on Monday, June 15 from 13:00.
However, the event schedule once again shows that The Festival isn't just about one main tournament. Players can look forward to The Hendon Mob Championship, Bounty Hunter Days Mystery Bounty, Mixed Games Main Event TORSES, Sviten Special, PLO variants, H.O.R.S.E, 10-Game Mix, OFC Pineapple, Blackjack Tournament, Franke’s Flip Flops, and various bounty and turbo formats.
Before the Main Event kicks off, the €175 The Hendon Mob Championship with a €50,000 guarantee will set things in motion. Another big highlight is the €230 Bounty Hunter Days Mystery Bounty with a €100,000 guarantee. Each buy-in allocates €60 to the Mystery Bounty pool, with prizes revealed during the paid phase of Day 2. Organizers promise the chest content will be visible on large screens in the tournament room, making this event one of the liveliest and most spectator-friendly moments of the week.
For players who love variety, the €550 Mixed Games Main Event TORSES with a €20,000 guarantee will be key. The European mixed game scene is growing, and The Festival is among the series giving it a significant platform. TORSES begins today at 12:00 with its first flight, and the final day is scheduled for Thursday, June 11.

More Than Just Poker
The Festival in Rozvadov offers more than the tournament tables. Organizers have prepared a hospitality program for online qualifiers, emphasizing that a live poker trip can be more than just registering, stacking, and hand after hand.
Today features Welcome Drinks and Flip School. In the following days, there will be tournaments in the Fun Zone, an Asian dinner at Vian Restaurant, Lemon Olympics & BBQ, Karaoke Night with Christel, Lunch-games Deluxe, and Trick & Treat with Franke and Wiseguy. These activities are part of The Festival's DNA. In a setting like Rozvadov, where everything naturally revolves around poker, they create space for relaxation, fun, and new connections outside the game itself.
The Festival Rozvadov 2026 has everything a major summer poker stop in Europe should have. A strong Main Event, a big Mystery Bounty event, record potential in The Hendon Mob Championship, mixed games for specialists, a PLO High Roller for action players, and numerous smaller tournaments for those who don't want to focus on just one main shot.
Most importantly, The Festival once again brings its unique energy to King's Resort. It's not just a festival for players chasing big results. It's a week for people who want to experience poker fully—both at the tables and beyond, in the community and atmosphere that defines this series.
