But it’s not just poker that the players can sink their teeth into; today’s schedule boasts a Pool Party from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. accompanied by resident DJ Samado featuring Rita Nas, as well as host Fred Musa recording Skyrocks’s DJ Planète Rap between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. In addition, the Winamax Beer Pong Open will kick off at 7 p.m. where, perhaps, the most important trophy of the series will be on offer.
