POKER FRANCE BELGIUM • AMATEUR TEAM • EPS PARIS 2026
Eight players. One Team. Our colors in Paris!
From November 6 to 15, 2026, our amateur Poker France Belgium Team will take over the Circus Club Paris to live the European Poker Series adventure.
Eight personalities, eight journeys and as many reasons to believe in a great story. This time, it’s our players who will be under the spotlight of an international festival!
Team PFB: much more than eight players
At Poker France Belgium we have always defended a certain idea of poker: a competitive game, of course, but also a passion that brings people together, creates friendships and allows unforgettable experiences.
Our amateur Team embodies that spirit. You don’t need to be an international superstar to proudly wear a community’s colors! What matters is the desire to play, improve, share and represent those who keep PFB alive every day.
In Paris we will have eight representatives with very different profiles: circuit regulars, seasoned players, live‑and‑online tournament enthusiasts, and especially eight personalities that form our team’s identity.
LET’S INTRODUCE THEM
The eight faces of our Team
Experience, results, character and a few favorite hands that already deserve debate!
01 • THE CAPTAIN • PICSOU691
Leandro
A player since 2007, Leandro is also one of the main drivers of Poker France Belgium. Between organizing events, animating the community and countless hours devoted to developing PFB, he knows both the backstage and the poker tables equally well.
His performance he is most proud of? Organizing the Monster Experience. An answer that sums up his commitment to other players quite well.
02 • AK-PIERRE-AK • 40 YEARS OF POKER
Pierre
Forty years of poker on the clock! Needless to say, Pierre has seen the game, strategies, and several generations of players evolve. A precious experience within our team.
Among the memorable moments of his career is his participation in the EPT Monte-Carlo 2008 final. Enough to bring solid references to Paris.
03 • EROSAPOLLO • SINCE 2006
Rosario
Rosario has been playing poker since 2006. Used to competitions, he has already had the chance to face particularly tough fields.
A performance to remember: his 53rd place at the 2023 Belgian Championship in Namur. In Paris, he will rediscover the atmosphere of the big events he loves so much.
04 • RICCARDO27 • 20 YEARS OF POKER
Riccardo
With about twenty years of experience, Riccardo knows what it means to endure a demanding tournament. He already has solid references on the circuit.
Among his achievements: a remarkable 5th place at the WPO Bratislava High Roller. A result that gives a few reasons to be optimistic before Paris.
05 • BLADEFULLFACE • MORE THAN 20 YEARS
David
Behind the nickname BladeFullFace hides a player with more than twenty years of practice. David brings his experience, character and know‑how to our collective.
In a team where every personality counts, he contributes to the diversity that makes our richness.
06 • PEACHOTHER • SINCE 2020
Stephanie
Arriving at poker in 2020, Stéphanie proves that you don’t need several decades of experience to find your place in our team.
Used to PFB Wevelgem and the Casino of Namur, she approaches this adventure eager to measure herself against the festival players and fully enjoy the experience.
07 • ONELEG • MORE THAN 15 YEARS
Stéphane
More than fifteen years of poker and already a nice title with us! Stéphane notably won the PokerBelgique 2022 challenge.
A seasoned competitor, he knows the nuances of tournament poker and the emotions that great performances bring. An experience he will carry with him to Paris.
08 • SCHTROUMPF2 • 7 YEARS OF POKER
Mathieu
Mathieu represents the generation discovering poker thanks to a passed‑on passion. He even says it was his father who taught him everything.
In seven years of playing, he notably posted an impressive online performance: €2,400 won on Winamax in a €10 tournament. Let’s see what Paris has in store for him!
Eight players. Eight stories. One single PFB Team.
Paris 2026: a new adventure for PFB
The European Poker Series will stop at the Circus Club Paris from November 6 to 15, 2026. Program: Main Event, Mystery Bounty, High Roller and several side tournaments, with players from different backgrounds.
For our team, it’s an opportunity to discover or rediscover the atmosphere of a great festival, face new opponents and, why not, bring back a result the whole community can be proud of.
Because once seated at the table, the cards know neither rankings, nor logos, nor reputations. And that’s also what makes poker so exciting.
A community behind its players
Our participation in EPS Paris 2026 does not come out of nowhere. It continues the story of Poker France Belgium, our will to bring players together and the initiatives organized to open the doors of new events for them.
In Wevelgem, live meet‑ups, special tournaments and the Road to EPS Paris qualifiers already help keep this momentum alive. With our amateur team, eight members of the collective will now carry our colours directly in the French capital.
And during the festival we obviously hope to share with you their results, performances, photos and the highlights of their adventure.
