The countdown is on for one of the most anticipated poker gatherings of the year—the Meetup Poker Festival 2025 at Grand Casino Aš, on the German-Czech Republic border. From September 3 to 7, the felt comes alive with big personalities, bigger pots, and plenty of off-table antics as the organizers, Meetup Poker, are promising this will be an event you won’t forget. It’s not just a series—it’s a celebration, a chance to mix cards with content creators, and maybe even bag yourself a trip to Las Vegas worth €12,000. That Vegas package will be awarded in the 9-handed SNG on September 7, with five more handed out during the festival via streamer events and the Main Event.
On the Felt
Front and center is the Main Event, a €150 showdown that blends friendly vibes with fierce competition. It’s surrounded by a festival of poker variety—PKOs, Mystery Bounties, PLO, Crazy Pineapple, and more—each hosted or hyped up by fan-favorite streamers like Q_Poker, HeyHansi, Jenzoouu, and Fabulous Poker. There’s no shortage of side action, both in the tournament room and at the beer pong table.
More Than Just Poker
The Meetup Poker Festival is as much about community as it is about cards. You’ll see railbirds cheering their friends, cameras catching every reaction, and rivalries settled with laughter instead of bad blood. Even if your stack runs dry, you’re still in the game socially—whether that’s swapping stories over a coffee or planning the next fun prop bet.
