PokerStars launches France Poker Series with qualifiers in April
PokerStars presents Season 1 of the France Poker Series (FPS) - the most exciting series of live poker tournaments ever to hit the country. Events will take place all over France, all with a buy-in of €1,200. Each event has a guaranteed prize pool of €300,000, and the Main Event winner at every stop will also be awarded a package for the FPS Grand Final in Paris.
Satellite qualifers are running at PokerStars now, giving you the chance to win a prize package (buy-in, hotel and expenses) for an unforgettable experience both on and off the felt! The action will play out in some of the most beautiful casinos in France. What’s more, there’ll also be an extra event taking place outside of France. Keep a look out for more details being announced soon!
The France Poker Series will also have a Leaderboard, where players win points not just for placing in the money at any of the France Poker Series events, but also just for sitting down at the table. Those players ranked 1st to 5th on the Leaderboard will qualify for the Grand Final in Paris.
Please note: Cash satellites are only available to players from the following countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the UK, and the freeroll qualifiers are only open players in mainland France.
