Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roger Tondeur in middle position moved all-in for 240,000 and was called by the chip leader Azedine Bendjilali in the hijack.

Roger Tondeur: A♠9♠ All in
Azedine Bendjilali: 6♦6♣

The flop of A♦Q♠3♠ was perfect for Tondeur, but the 6♥ turn was absolutely terrible for him. But he was lucky enough to hit a flush with the 7♠ river to secure a double up.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

As the 2025 World Series of Poker Europe €10,350 Main Event played down to a final table in October, the WSOP made ripples by announcing a new home and dates for the popular European festival.

The 2026 WSOP Europe will take place at Hilton Prague in the Czechia in partnership with King's Casino Prague. What's more, the festival will take place March 31-April 12, despite typically taking place in the fall months.

“It’s an exciting rebirth of the World Series of Poker Europe in Prague,” WSOP Chief Executive Officer Ty Stewart said in a press release. “We have a big ambition to elevate this festival to one of the very best in the world and look forward to welcoming players to a great poker city next April.”
