The First Lex Live Festival Kicks Off at 6 P.M.
The first of hopefully many Lex Live festivals is about to kick-off with Day 1A of the Main Event in Grand Casino de Namur in Namur, Belgium. The community event organized by Lex Veldhuis, the 2019 Lex Live Namur, will feature a three-day Main Event. The Main Event will feature three regular starting flights and three turbo versions. Day 1A, 1B, and 1C all start at 6 p.m. local time while the turbo versions of every flight start at 10 p.m. local time. There will also be plenty of side events in Namur for the players that were unable to make Day 2 of the tournament.
The tournament will have twelve 30-minute levels on the first day of the tournament with 45-minute levels from Day 2 onwards. Players will start with 50,000 in chips with the first level of the day being 100/100 without an ante. They will use a big blind ante starting at the fourth level of the tournament with 200/400 and a 400 big blind ante.
When asked about the Lex Live Spring Festival, Veldhuis could barely contain his excitement. ''For me, the festival is already a success. People are already bonding and I think an event like this where people meet each other in real life will help with the community feel of my Twitch channel. It's really nice to get to know people throughout this week.''
Many big names will make an appearance in Namur this week as Veldhuis told PokerNews he is expecting Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg, Fintan 'EasyWithAces' Hand, Felix 'xflixx' Schneiders, Kalidou Sow, and Twitch sensation Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen at the event.
Day 1A of the tournament will start at 6 p.m. local time and will last for twelve levels. PokerNews will be on site to report on the tournament from start to finish.
