The prestigious Unibet DeepStack Open (UDSO) poker festival is making its highly anticipated return to the iconic city of Paris. This year’s event is a key stop on the UDSO tour, which kicked off in Tallinn and will finish in La Grande Motte. UDSO Paris 2025 marks the seventh of eight stops on a packed calendar for the series.
Running from November 14 to 23, 2025, the festival will draw poker players from across the globe to the renowned Club Circus Paris. Known for its vibrant poker scene and elegant surroundings, this casino is the perfect venue. Paris itself, a city steeped in history, art, and romance, provides an ideal backdrop for a world-class poker event, seamlessly blending high-stakes action with the allure of one of the world’s most attractive locations.
The Main Event: Deep Stacks and Big Prizes
The centerpiece of the festival is, as always, the UDSO Main Event. This year, the tournament features a buy-in of €490 + €60, making it accessible to a wide range of players. The event is a true deepstack format, providing players with generous starting stacks and long blind levels for significant strategic depth.
The Main Event will run from November 13, offering multiple starting flights to accommodate the large number of participants. While a guaranteed prize pool for the 2025 event hasn’t been announced yet, the previous edition in 2024 at the same venue set a high standard with an impressive 1,105 entries, creating a total prize pool of €519,792. The winner of the 2024 event was Wellington Guedes from France, who secured the top prize of €77,000.
Action-Packed Side Events
Beyond the Main Event, the UDSO Paris festival offers a diverse schedule of side events to suit every type of player. For those who enjoy a smaller buy-in, the Mini UDSO provides an exciting and competitive option with an accessible buy-in of €260 + €40.
High-stakes players will find their challenge in the UDSO High Roller event, which features a buy-in of €1,000 + €100.
