Level 9 will see the blinds increase to 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000 big blind ante.
Day 1A of the Hendon Mob Championship has seen a total of 200 entrants so far, with 112 still in the field and Level 9 fast approaching. The blinds are currently 800/1600 with a 1600 big blind ante, meaning a starting stack is good for 31 big blinds.

The Festival 2024 Main Event has taken to the field in Day 1A of The Hendon Mob Championship. Bulgarian Presiyan Georgiev Tsvetanov took down the title last year at this very venue in the €550 Main Event and won €90,350 for his effort, €10,350 of which consisted of a Main Event seat to the WSOPE event which ran last October. This score still stands as Tsevetanov’s largest career cash.
Tsevetanov also played Day 1C of the Hendon Mob Championship last year and took a massive chip lead into Day 2 of last year’s installment, but despite this, he failed to secure a cash. He did claim another podium finish last year, finishing 2nd for €1,587 in the €125 PLO/PLO8 or Better Event two days later. Maybe this year it could be different, and the Bulgarian will be wanting to secure a piece of hardware from Rozvadov and another special portrait.
The King’s Schafkopf Trophy has been revealed ahead of Day 1 of the tournament, which starts at 2 p.m. local time tomorrow, Saturday, June 7th. The €190 buy-in event has a €25,000 prize pool, and only one entry is allowed per player. Day 2 starts bright and early at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 8th.
Last year, German national Dieter Josef Stapfer topped a world-record-breaking field of 248 players and the lion’s share of the €38,464 prize pool. Stapfer took home €7,100 for his victory in Rozvadov, and it would be no surprise to see him return to King’s to defend his title.
Known as the “King of Bavarian card games”, the classic German card game is sure to prove popular again this year. Schafkopf is played by four people with a special 32-card German deck. The game is all about winning tricks (rounds of cards) and collecting points. The card rankings are displayed below:
Trumps: The most powerful cards are the Obers (O), Unters (U), and all Hearts.
Side Suits: The other cards are Ace (A), Ten (10), King (K), Nine (9), Eight (8), and Seven (7).
The goal is to score at least 61 points out of a total of 120. Points come from the cards you win in tricks: Aces are worth 11 points, Tens are worth 10, Kings are worth 4, Obers are worth 3, and Unters are worth 2. The other cards (9, 8, 7) don’t have any points.
For additional information on this historic German pastime, check out this article here.
The Festival’s first foray into PLO this installment commences shortly with the €150 PLO Championship.

The Hendon Mob Championship has been revealed! This year’s winner will be taking home this impressive piece of glassware to add to, or start, their trophy collection!
One of the marquee events of the entire Festival kicks us off with a bang. The ever-popular Hendon Mob Championship is hosting its first Day 1A here in Rozvadov with the cards first hitting the felt at 1 p.m. local time.

Day 1A is scheduled to play down to 12.5% of the field remaining, with a €300 min cash guaranteed for those who progress to Day 2 on Sunday night.
The top two chip leaders from each flight will receive a Festival Main Event ticket worth €550 each, a nice juicer for anyone looking to get involved.
Currently in the field is a previous €2,000 Cape Town Package winner, Hermann Schweiger (pictured above on the right). The very same package is also up for grabs for the winner of this installment.
At the time of writing, 86 players are in the field of 92 entrants, but expect that number to grow as more entries filter in through the satellite and direct buy-ins throughout the 10-level long late registration period.
The stage is set and the cards are in the air for The Festival from here in Rozvadov, Czechia. Held at King’s Resort in the border town, The Festival promises to be a fun-filled and action-packed event over the following 11-day stretch.
At 11 a.m. this morning local time, players took their seats for the day’s first event and The Festival in general, the €30 satellite to The Hendon Mob Championship.
The €3,000 guarantee was hit, with 120 players taking a chance at qualifying for the €300,000 guaranteed event. At the time of writing, 32 remain in the field, with the top 20 receiving a ticket to the €150 buy-in event. Twenty-first will receive €24, a small rebate from the €30 buy-in.
Satellites to The Hendon Mob Championship will continue to run daily until Sunday. For those who missed out this morning, a satellite to Day 1B commences at 3 p.m. local time, with 1B commencing three hours later at 6 p.m.
After a successful run last year in Rozvadov, The Festival returns once again to the Czech town for its first event of the year. Hosted at the palace of poker that is King’s Resort, the event will run from the 6-16th of June and attract players of all creeds and colours from all four corners of the world throughout the scheduled 11-day stint here.
Action will be plentiful, and the place will be packed to the rafters with players all seeking their chance at a title. The Festival will be offering over €1,000,000 in total prize pool across all the tournaments on the schedule, indicating substantial value for all who want to take their chances at a shot at poker glory.
This year will see 72 unique tournaments, 12 more than last year’s installment, and is equally as diverse in of game selection, as you will see from the get-go when the Festival officially kicks off at 11am on the 6th June with a €30 satellite into The Hendon Mob Championship. That being said, let’s dive into the schedule over the opening weekend in a little more depth.
Kicking Off The Festival
The Hendon Mob Championship (THMC) starts the festival with a flourish. The six-flight €300,000 guaranteed event will run from June 6-8th and will be the largest installment of the THMC to date across any venue. Two flights have already run at the King’s Casino in Prague, situated inside the luxurious Hilton Hotel in the nation’s capital. This is the fourth location that the THMC has hosted with The Festival, having run at Dusk Til Dawn (DTD) Nottingham, Portomaso Casino Malta, Banco Casino Bratislava, and King’s Resort Rozvadov.
The tournament will feature 30-minute levels in all flights other than the turbo flight, which will have 15-minute levels. These final flights run on Sunday, which offers a last chance for players looking for a share of the gigantic prize pool. All players will start with a stack of 50,000.
In the last installment in Rozvadov, Iranian win the title. The duo chopped the money and took home €35,250 each, and a seat at the WSOPE Main event worth €10,350. Alimoradpour also secured a €2,000 package to The Hendon Mob Championship in Cape Town along with the win. Remarkably, this was Alimoradpour’s first recorded cash. Perhaps a similar story could emerge this year?

The activities are on from flag fall, the first of which is a Boule school hosted by The Festival’s main man, Franke! This activity runs from 2pm to 4pm and offers an introduction to the classic French lawn game.
The following day, qualifiers will get to learn about Molky, a Finnish game that combines bowling and strategy. Franke hosts again and will guide you through the game, which involves throwing a stick at numbered pins. Players must score exactly 50 points, no more, no less, or they are penalised. This activity also runs from 2pm to 4pm.
On Sunday, another Scandinavian game takes centre stage in the form of Kubb. Also known as “Viking Chess”, the game involves throwing wooden sticks at opposing teams’ blocks. Franke takes to the helm on hosting duties again in what is sure to be a fun-filled afternoon in the fresh air, running from 2pm to 4pm.
