FPS Snowfest: Start of the new season in Evian
After a season full of success, the France Poker Series (FPS) is back this year with a first step in Evian-les-Bains from March 19 to 24. The FPS events of this season will take place in the most beautiful poker destinations of France because apart from the Haute-Savoie, Amnéville, Paris and Deauville, where the final will be held, the city of Cannes was also introduced in the calendar. The Casino of Evian inaugurates the tour with the FPS "Snowfest" 2013. Seven tournaments are scheduled but the main attraction of this event is the Main Event of 1,100 entry fee. The main event will be held from Thursday, March 21. Last year, the Main Event was attended by 296 players generating a prize pool of 284,160. The Czech Veronika Pavlikova won the event before Ludovic Marguerat and Serge Didisheim. This first live victory allowed him to pocket 70,000.
In addition to the Main Event, the FPS Snowfest Evian promise numerous side events as the 220 Freezeout, the 330 Knockout ( 100 bounty), the PLO 6-max of 440, the 150 Foldingo ( 150 Rebuy + Addon), the 500 Freezeout, the Win the Button of 600 and the 3,000 High Roller that always met the elite of French poker as Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier who finished third in 2012 with a prize of 13,220. The High Roller will be held over two days while the 500 Freezeout will last three days and the event will be opened on Tuesday, March 19. Since Friday, March 15, the Casino of Evian has already proposed satellite tournaments for the Main Event.
