The poker peeps behind the Unibet Open announce a 2019 Parisian stop, operations in France switch from iPoker to Relax Gaming, and the Unibet Online Series returns for Round 5.

If B.A. Baracus was a poker player, he would have loved the Unibet Open. Ok, so Dave Coupon…Lappin…sanctimonious Tommy Tanker…whatever name he’s going by this week would have had to get a little bit 10 Rillington Place to get his arse to Malta, but in the main, the man with more gold rings than Maurice Hawkins, would have loved the trains and automobiles, and it continues with the announcement of Unibet Open Paris.

The team that received more nominations at the Global Poker Awards (GPA) than Daniel Negreanu will head to Paris Nov 28 – Dec 1 where the €1,100 Unibet Open Main Event will be the star attraction. The venue and the full schedule is still beneath the tip of the iceberg, and with a trip to Notre Dame scratched off the bucket list it had better be a good one.

It’s brilliant news for Parisian poker lovers who have seen live tournaments vanish from the French region like the shrimps that used to use the tentacles of the Portuguese Man O’ War as skipping ropes.
