Two months after canceling due to tensions with Iran, the Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Game Festival is set to return to Las Vegas. Founder Robbie Strazynski, based in Israel, shared that the 14th festival will unfold at the Bellagio, a premier location in the poker capital.
Scheduled from May 31 to June 4 and again from June 7 to 11, this festival runs alongside the World Series of Poker (WSOP) happening at nearby Horseshoe and Paris. For cash game enthusiasts, tables for $4/$8 and $8/$16 Dealer’s Choice will be available throughout the event.
Craig Larson, the Director of Poker Operations at Bellagio, expressed his excitement, stating, “We’re ready for two great weeks of mixed games designed for every type of player.” This summer, BetMGM Poker is again a partner, offering three opportunities to win a seat in the $3,500 BetMGM Poker Championship at Aria Resort and Casino.
The festival is more than just games; it’s a gathering of mixed game fans, poker media, and stars like 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen and Hall of Famer Eli Elezra.
One major highlight is the “Tuesday with Mori” event on June 9, featuring PokerGO President Mori Eskandani. There will also be a Pokercoaching.com meetup with popular coaches like Jonathan Little and Alex Livingston. Attendees can expect book signings, giveaways, and even a pizza party on June 8.
Mixed games have grown in popularity over the years. According to a recent survey, 63% of poker players now prefer mixed games over traditional formats. This shift shows a desire for variety and creativity in play styles, making events like this festival even more appealing.
