St-Vincent Poker Cup: Texapoker Arrives at the Casino de la Vallée

Texapoker sets up shop in a brand-new Italian destination: the St-Vincent Poker Cup runs from 13 to 18 October 2026 at the Casino de la Vallée in Saint-Vincent, Aosta Valley (Italy). This first event marks the official launch of the multi-year partnership between Texapoker and the venue, with Italia Play as official partner of the event.

“Seeing our company earn the trust of a casino as prestigious as Saint-Vincent, thanks to the huge amount of work done in Sanremo over the past few years, is very rewarding,” says Alex Anfossi, Texapoker’s Tournament Director in Italy, who is leading the setup of this new festival alongside the casino teams.

A €300 Main Event and a stack of WSOP-C Sanremo tickets

The week’s flagship is the St-Vincent Poker Cup, a €260+40 Main Event played over three starting flights (Day 1A on Thursday, Day 1B and Day 1C on Friday), converging into a Day 2 on Saturday and a Final Day on Sunday. Players start with 50,000 chips, with 40-minute levels in the early stages, increasing to 50 and then 60 minutes late in the tournament.

The highlight of this first edition: 9 tickets worth €1,500 for the WSOP Circuit Sanremo Main Event (20 to 30 November 2026) will be added to the final table prize pool, for a total of €13,500 in WSOP-C tickets. Every final table seat becomes an entry to one of the most popular events on the Italian circuit.

An even more generous prize pool and several surprises await players this year: Texapoker is building on a festival designed as a showcase of the expertise gained in Sanremo over the years.

A packed schedule, from opening day to the final table

Around the Main Event, thirteen tournaments fill the week, from the classic Opener 200 to the Omaha 200, including faster formats such as the Rush 100 or the Progressive KO 125. Three daily satellites (45+15€) let players on a tighter budget qualify for the Main Event throughout the week.

Casino de la Vallée, a new stop for Texapoker in Italy

Directly connected to the Grand Hôtel Billia, the Casino de la Vallée in Saint-Vincent has been one of Europe’s leading gaming venues since 1947, with its classic gaming tables, hundreds of slot machines and an Alpine setting in the heart of the Aosta Valley. Texapoker’s arrival, already firmly established in Sanremo, confirms the brand’s ambition to strengthen its presence in the Italian market following the multi-year contract won in February 2026.

“It is a real source of pride. The recognition of my teams’ work and my vision of poker made the difference,” said Apo Chantzis, founder and CEO of Texapoker, when the partnership was announced. The St-Vincent Poker Cup now turns that trust into reality, with a first festival designed to firmly plant Texapoker’s colors in the region.
