New Location for FPS Paris in July
Among the highlights of the announcement is the holding of a FPS Paris in July at the home of the Stade Français, the Stade Jean Bouin. Organized in collaboration with the Club Circus, the Main Event prize pool comes with an additional €1 million for this tournament alone.
And over in Belgium with FPS Namur, PokerStars will be sponsoring the Belgian Poker Challenge and has introduced a €1,000,000 guarantee across all events, with a prize pool of €750,000 for the Main Event and €100,000 for the High Roller.
Finally, the FPS will head south to Aix-les-Bains from September 29 to October 8, before returning to Aix-en-Provence from November 10 to 19. The venue will host its second FPS after Anthony Apicella's victory in 2022 for €141,200.
But before all that, there's FPS Monte Carlo held at the Sporting Monte Carlo in April! Start counting down the days!
