Table Of Contents
May looks set to be another busy month at King's Resort in Rozvadov, Czechia, with no fewer than four major poker festivals scheduled. At least €2.8 million will be won across those four festivals' Main Events alone, meaning players don't have to look further than King's Resort to win big this month.
European Poker Festival
The European Poker Festival (EPF) kicked off on April 27 and continues running until the final champion is crowned on May 12. Among those events needing to crown their worthy winner is the €299 buy-in, €1 million guaranteed EPF Main Event.
Day 1s for this seven-figure guaranteed tournament shuffle up and deal on May 1. Each plays down to 10% of the field, with the top 15% reaching the money places. A min-cash is worth €600.
Subsequent Day 1s run on May 2, May 7, May 8, May 9, and May 10. The eventual champion will become known on May 12, and they will help themselves to the lion's share of the €1 million guaranteed prize pool.
Festival Highlights
- €299 buy-in, €1,000,000 guaranteed EPF Main Event
- €200 buy-in, €100,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty event
Deutsche Poker Tour
Just as the European Poker Festival wraps up, the Deutsche Poker Tour (DPT) gets underway. It runs from May 11-17 and features a €175 buy-in Main Event, guaranteeing not a cent less than €300,000.
There are eight Main Event flights, plus a ninth played as a Flip & Go Pineapple if you really fancy a gamble. The standard Day 1s play down to 10% of the field, with prize money awarded to the top 15%. Securing a min-cash is worth €350 to your bankroll.
When this event took place in September 2025, an unknown player walked away with €44,000. Some 651 unique players re-entered 1,155 times, for a total attendance of 1,805. There was an overlay on the guarantee despite that impressive turnout.
Festival Highlights
- A €175 buy-in, €300,000 guaranteed Main Event featuring eight Day 1s
- €30 satellites running throughout the Main Event
- Several side events, including a €350 buy-in, €30,000 guaranteed High Roller

The action at King's Resort Rozvadov continues coming thick and fast with the France Poker Festival (FPF). It runs from May 18 through May 25. Among its bustling schedule is the €290 buy-in Main Event, which boasts a €1 million guarantee.
The FPF Main Event follows a similar structure to the others mentioned in this article, with several flights available. They play down to the final 10% of the field, with 15% receiving at least a min-cash worth €600. A champion will emerge on Day 3 on May 25.

The festival runs May 25 to June 1, and features a PLO tournament, a Mystery Bounty, and a 5-Card PLO event on its schedule.
Each Main Event flight costs €250 to enter, and each flight plays down to a point where only 10% of the field remains. A €500 min-cash awaits anyone reaching the final 15% of each Day 1.
