The Festival Returns to Rozvadov as The Hendon Mob Championship Kicks Off a Week of Poker Action

The Festival is set to return to King’s Resort in Rozvadov from June 9-15, bringing together one of the most diverse schedules in European poker. With a packed lineup of No-Limit Hold’em, mixed games, PLO, casino events, and social activities.

Returning to the scene of a record-breaking THMC event in 2025, The Hendon Mob Championship kicks off The Festival Rozvadov with a multi-day €50,000 guarantee. The festival also features a new partnership between The Festival and Bounty Hunter Days, presenting a €100,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty event.

Though shorter than a typical stop at King’s in years past, The Festival Rozvadov is jamming 36 events into a week-long party capped off by a €500,000 Main Event and almost €1,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools throughout the series.

€50,000 GTD The Hendon Mob Championship

The action begins with The Hendon Mob Championship, a €175 buy-in tournament featuring multiple Day 1 flights and a format designed to attract both recreational players and seasoned tournament grinders. The event gets underway on June 9 with two opening flights, followed by additional opportunities to qualify for Day 2, including a turbo flight and a Flip & Go Pineapple format. The championship concludes on June 10.

The partnership between The Festival and The Hendon Mob has grown significantly in recent years, with Rozvadov becoming home to the largest THMC fields ever recorded. Previous editions have produced record-breaking attendance numbers, helping establish the championship as one of the flagship events on the European poker circuit.

The €500,000 GTD Festival Series Main Event

While the THMC kicks off the week, the spotlight eventually shifts to The Festival Main Event. Carrying a €550 buy-in and a €500,000 guarantee, the tournament serves as the marquee Hold’em event of the series. Multiple Day 1 flights give players flexibility throughout the week, before the tournament culminates on Day 2 on June 14 and the final table on June 15.

€100,000 GTD Bounty Hunter Days Mystery Bounty

Alongside the Main Event, players can also take aim at the €100,000 guaranteed Bounty Hunter Days Mystery Bounty, another major attraction that has become a staple of The Festival schedule. The combination of mystery bounty prizes and substantial guarantees ensures plenty of action throughout the week.

A Festival for Every Type of Poker Player

One of the defining features of The Festival is its ability to cater to different poker personalities. Mixed-game fans are equally well served. The €550 TORSES Mixed Games Main Event headlines a growing mixed-game schedule that also includes H.O.R.S.E., 8-Game, Big O, Sviten Special, and the Festival 10-Game Mix. As mixed games continue to gain popularity across Europe, Rozvadov has become one of the premier destinations for players seeking action beyond traditional Hold’em.

More Than Just a Poker Series

What separates The Festival from many traditional poker tours is its emphasis on creating a complete entertainment experience. Hospitality events, community activities, and player meetups run alongside the tournament schedule, giving participants the chance to connect away from the felt. The result is a festival atmosphere that appeals to professionals, recreational players, and poker enthusiasts alike.

With The Hendon Mob Championship launching the action, a €500,000 guaranteed Main Event waiting later in the week, and one of the most varied schedules in European poker, The Festival Rozvadov is once again shaping up to be one of the standout live events of the summer. Whether players arrive focused on a single tournament or plan to embrace everything the series has to offer, Rozvadov promises another unforgettable week of poker.
