Unibet Open Paris 2026
The Unibet Open is officially back in business. Following a little hiatus, the iconic live poker circuit returned with an absolute blockbuster of a festival in the French capital. The Unibet Festival Paris 2026, hosted at the brand-new Partouche Casino Club in collaboration with Texapoker, delivered packed tables, incredible atmosphere, and massive prize pools all week long. 

The crown jewel of the series was the €1,100 Main Event, where Italian poker professional Luca Bernardi navigated a massive field to secure the trophy and a career-defining payday.

A Packed Paris Schedule

The return of the Unibet Festival brought a massive array of events to the Partouche Casino Club, catering to grinders of all bankroll levels. While the Main Event was the ultimate prize, the festival schedule was packed from start to finish.

The schedule featured a massively attended €400 Mystery Cup, a €2,200 High Roller for the heavy hitters, and a variety of fast-paced daily turbos. However, as the side events wrapped up, all eyes focused squarely on the €1,100 Unibet Open Main Event.

Luca Bernardi Dominates the Main Event

Proving that the prestige of the Unibet Open remains as strong as ever, the €1,100 Main Event drew a massive, record-breaking field of 800 entries.

After several grueling days of multi-flight action, it was Italian professional Luca Bernardi who emerged victorious. Showcasing an incredible blend of patience and highly-timed aggression, Bernardi outlasted a tough international field to capture the iconic Unibet Open trophy and the massive €115,000 first-place prize.

With the triumphant return in Paris now in the history books, the tour is already looking ahead to its next highly anticipated destination.
