THMC Rozvadov at The Festival Series Breaks Record for Largest THMC Field Ever

The Hendon Mob Championship (THMC) event at The Festival Series at King’s Casino Rozvadov has broken the record for the largest THMC field ever. THMC Rozvadov attracted a total field size of 2,417 entries, surpassing the €300,000 guarantee with a buy-in of €150.

Haik Tougu from Estonia emerged victorious in Rozvadov, taking home €51,850, the THMC trophy, and the THMC Cape Town Million package later this year during the SunBet Poker Tour by MJPT’s Cape Town, South Africa festival.

The previous mark of 1,605 was set at the $660 THM Mid-Major Championship held at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in the USA during the RunGood Poker Series in July 2023. Roland Boothby, GPI THM Head of Partnerships, said, “This event was ambitious, very ambitious. 2,380 players, the field needed to hit the guarantee, was a number far away from anything we had achieved before, but with King’s Resort, you can feel confident that anything is possible. Add to that the energy and out-of-the-box thinking of Franke and his team at The Festival, and you have a great recipe for success, and we couldn’t be happier to see the plan come to fruition. I hope we can all look to go bigger and better in 2026!’’

At GPITHM, we take pride in our global following and presence. Martin ‘Franke’ von Zweigbergk, Founder of The Festival Series, is also proud of the worldwide success. “The largest THMC field ever was won by an Estonian living in Germany, at an event in the Czech Republic, with an Italian Poker Manager as the driving force for a side event series owned by a Frenchman promoted by an Englishman and a Dutchman at an event created by a Swede, living in Estonia! Europe delivers! Estonia delivers! Suur kohv piimaga!’’

Federico Brunato, Poker Director of King’s Casino, said, “This success shows that goals need to be planned years ahead. The idea started when we first met Martin ‘Franke’ von Zweigbergk in 2023. Our first edition in 2024 didn’t go exactly as we had wanted, but we held onto our dream. We revised our plan, took a calculated risk, and demonstrated that clear goals often yield excellent results.

Thank you to Roland Boothby and the whole THM team for believing in us and giving everything to this event. It’s always great to work with The Festival Series crew; they add their own special touch, always stay professional, and the industry surely needs more people with similar passion and professionalism. I’m also very proud of the whole King’s Resort team; once again, we broke this record smoothly and professionally.

Finally, thanks to all the players who trust us every week and keep coming back. We hope you always enjoy the King’s experience to the fullest.’’
