Unibet DeepStack Open Annecy 2025 – Return to the Venice of the Alps

Poker players, mark your calendars! The Unibet DeepStack Open (UDSO) is making a much-anticipated return to Annecy – famously known as the “Venice of the Alps” – from October 28 to November 2, 2025. This prestigious festival will unfold at the iconic Casino Imperial, giving players a chance to shine in a legendary venue steeped in elegance. Previous UDSO stops in Annecy have been hugely popular, with the 2024 edition drawing a massive 870 entries. After the record-breaking 1,000+ entries of the 2022 stop, the Annecy event has firmly cemented itself as a highlight of the poker calendar. The stage is set for another big turnout this year in one of Europe’s most scenic poker destinations.

The 2025 Main Event: Deep Stacks and Three Day 1 Flights

The centerpiece of the Annecy stop is the UDSO Main Event (Event #5 on the schedule), featuring a €490+€60 buy-in (€550 total) and a deep 50,000 starting stack. Players will have three chances to bag chips, with three Day 1 starting flights (Day 1A on Thursday, Day 1B and a Turbo Day 1C on Friday).

Levels are a generous 50 minutes long (with a faster 20-minute structure for the last-chance turbo flight) to ensure plenty of play for all entrants. The Main Event’s prestige is further underscored by a live-streamed final table – hole cards up – broadcast on the Unibet Poker France Twitch channel on Sunday, giving every finalist a shot at poker stardom. If you’re looking for a flagship tournament experience with a big prize pool and professional production, the UDSO Annecy Main Event is the one to play.

Last year’s Main Event saw local amateur player Julien Srenscik emerge victorious from a huge field of 870 entrants, claiming the champion’s belt and a €58,000 first-place prize. Srenscik conquered a tough final table, defeating Camille Bourdoncle (runner-up, €36,468) in a dramatic heads-up duel to capture the title. His triumph at the 2024 UDSO Annecy exemplified the event’s competitive spirit – and proved that anyone can rise to the top in this deep-stacked tournament series.

Side Events Galore: Mini UDSO, Mystery Bounty, High Roller, Omaha and HexaPro

Beyond the Main Event, UDSO Annecy 2025 offers a full slate of side events catering to all bankrolls and poker tastes. The action kicks off with the Mini UDSO €300 opener – a two-day mini main event that’s perfect for warming up and taking a shot at a trophy on a smaller buy-in. For those who love bounties and surprises, the €250 Mystery Bounty (sponsored by Luxon Pay) adds an extra thrill: not only can you score mystery bounty prizes for knocking out opponents, the winner of this event will also take home an added $4,000 poker package courtesy of Unibet.

High rollers won’t be left out either – the €1,100 High Roller event awaits the more ambitious players, promising a tougher field and a big payout for the champion. Omaha enthusiasts can get in on the action as well, with a dedicated Pot-Limit Omaha tournament on the final day (4-card PLO, €200 buy-in) to mix things up. And for a bit of fun and variety, check out the HexaPro Sit & Go event – a live incarnation of Unibet’s jackpot SNG format, featuring a €30 buy-in, super-fast 500 chip starting stack and 4-minute levels for a quick poker fix. From the mystery bounty mayhem to the high-roller showdown, the Annecy stop has something for everyone – whether you’re chasing a title, a package, or just a good time on the felt.
