The Chase for the 2025 WSOP-C Aix-en-Provence Main Event Gold Ring Begins
Last year, Texapoker hosted the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) in the surprising rugby stadium Stade Jean-Bouin Paris. An unexpected place to play poker, which saw the coronation of Mohamed Iche as the 2024 WSOP-C Paris Main Event champion, earning €150,000 out of a field of 1,056 entries. Not only did he win the gold ring of the Main Event, but he also finished in second place in the WSOP-C Cup during the same festival.
