From late July through the end of November, players chasing the coveted WSOP gold rings will have seven unique destinations to choose from. Whether you are looking for a summer poker vacation in the Baltics or a late autumn getaway on the Italian Riviera, the remaining schedule offers something for every traveling grinder.

YearOverlapping slightly with the Tallinn festival, WSOPC Slovakia runs from July 31 to August 11. The action takes place at the sprawling Card Casino in Šamorín, located just a short drive from Bratislava. 

Known for its massive tournament floor and deep-stacked structures, this stop provides excellent value for players looking to secure a gold ring in Central Europe. The venue is perfectly equipped to handle massive multi-flight fields, ensuring robust prize pools.

As summer turns to autumn, the circuit touches down in the French capital. From September 1 through September 12, the historic Partouche Casino Club (at Stade Jean-Bouin) in Paris will host the prestigious tour. 

The Parisian stop guarantees massive local fields, high-stakes cash games, and the unmatched ambiance of playing poker in the heart of the City of Light. The €1,200 Main Event is known for its fierce, aggressive local competition.

For those seeking a poker vacation with a Mediterranean backdrop, WSOPC Malta is the perfect late-summer destination. Running from September 25 to October 5 at Casino Malta in the bustling district of St. Julian's, this marks a historic milestone for the region. 

Players can seamlessly transition from the intensive poker tables to the vibrant local nightlife and beautiful island beaches.

Spain takes center stage in late October as the WSOP Circuit arrives in Madrid. From October 23 to November 2, the stunning Casino Gran Via will serve as the host venue. 

Located in one of the city's most iconic historic buildings right on the main avenue, the stop traditionally features a heavily attended Main Event and non-stop action on the tournament floor, attracting grinders from across the Iberian Peninsula.

Heading into November, the tour moves to the Belgian coast. WSOPC Middelkerke is scheduled from November 6 to November 15 at Casino Middelkerke.
