Every year, the Barrière Poker Tour makes stops at various casinos in the Barrière network throughout France. After stops in Nice, Deauville, Paris, Toulouse, and Cannes, the BPT will return to Deauville from October 28 to November 1, 2026.
In this French coastal city, 22 tournaments await participants. These include championship events, mystery bounties, satellites, and fast-paced side events. The highlight, of course, is the Barrière Poker Tour Main Event. The buy-in is 600 euros, of which 520 euros go toward the prize pool and 80 euros cover fees. Players will start with a stack of 50,000 chips. The Main Event features two starting flights. Day 1A begins on October 29 at 2:00 p.m., while Day 1B starts on the same day at 8:00 p.m. The level times differ between the two flights: While Day 1A is played with 50-minute levels, Day 1B features 30-minute levels. Registration remains open until Level 10.
Of course, there are also more affordable ways to qualify for the Main Event. On October 28 at 10:00 p.m., a 100-euro satellite is scheduled, with a seat in the Main Event up for grabs. The game will be played with 12,000 chips and 15-minute levels. Another Main Event satellite is also scheduled for October 29 at 4:00 p.m.
The Fivebet Mystery Bounty kicks off as early as October 28. The tournament features two starting flights, which begin on the first day at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. The buy-in is also 300 euros, broken down into a 160-euro buy-in, a 40-euro fee, and a 100-euro bounty share. Players start with 30,000 chips. The first flight is played with 30-minute levels, while Day 1B is significantly faster-paced with 20-minute levels. The final will follow on October 29 starting at 2:00 p.m. with 45-minute levels.
In addition to the major tournaments, the Barrière Poker Tour also features fast-paced formats. The Barrière Poker Tour Express will take place on October 29 at 6:00 p.m. and costs 200 euros. The starting stack is 20,000 chips. The structure is particularly noteworthy: initially, the levels last 15 minutes, then 20 minutes, and in the later stages of the tournament, some levels last as little as ten minutes. Later that evening, at 10:00 p.m., the 10 O’Clock Turbo will follow with a 150-euro buy-in.
