In all, 2,127 participants competed over two days in the company of Team Winamax pros and a number of celebrities, including Pascal Sellem, Alain Bouzigues, Fred Chau and Moundir<\/b>. It was also an opportunity for the public to welcome the winner of the 2015\/2016 edition, Cyril Georges<\/b>, who is putting his title back on the line! <\/span><\/h5>\n

“<\/i>When the show starts, you know why you’ve worked so long. And that’s when you realize that you love your job. Our teams have worked hard to offer the best poker weekends to over 2,000 players in Paris and beyond: it’s a great source of pride to know that the Winamax Poker Tour is becoming a must-see tournament for them! <\/span><\/i> “commented Matthieu Duran<\/b>, Live Event Manager at Winamax. ” Now it’s time to meet players from all over France! We look forward to seeing you! “. <\/i><\/span><\/h5>\n

Poker as you’ve never seen it before<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n
Alongside the main tournament, a host of events ensured that players had an unforgettable weekend. From the spectacular kick-off by Patrick Bruel<\/b>, an army of cheerleaders and the Mike\/Rik\u00e9<\/b> duo from Sins\u00e9milia<\/b>, to the musical sets by luxury DJs Oph\u00e9lie Mercury<\/b> and DJ James<\/b>. <\/span><\/h5>\n
On the poker side: side events, iPad tournaments, consolation tournaments, not forgetting the many opportunities to meet up at the numerous sit & go events hosted by the Winamax Pro Team. <\/span><\/h5>\n

\"dsc_0758\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Players were also able to enjoy an exclusive screening of the Winamax series ” Dans la T\u00eate d’Un Pro<\/b> ” filmed during the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, a Winamax merchandise showroom and the Sports Bar, where sports betting and match broadcasts were the order of the day. There was also a photo exhibition by Caroline Darcourt<\/b>, Double Jeu<\/b>, and a Beer Pong<\/b> tournament once the poker tournament was over! <\/span><\/h5>\n
Finally, players who couldn’t make the trip were able to follow the tournament live via Winamax’s Twitch <\/a> streaming channel!<\/span><\/h5>\n

The Winamax Poker Tour, the sequel. <\/b><\/h5>\n
The Paris stage is now over, but the Winamax Poker Tour is just getting started! See you on the roads of France, with 45 stages organized in 32 French cities between November 2016 and January 2017. <\/b>. More than 10,000 players are expected to take part in these regional tournaments: the best of them will qualify free of charge for the Tour’s grand final, scheduled for March at the Cercle Clichy-Montmartre, where Winamax guarantees 500,000 euros in prize money.
