Breaking News! ‘Player of the Series’ Rozvadov 2024 revealed!


The Festival Series Rozvadov took place between May 31st, and June 9th. For the first time in the humble history of The Festival Series, we be visiting Europe's largest live poker hotspot! The attendance rates were amazing, and of course, we had the 'Player of the Series', of which the final results will be revealed right now!
The 'Player of the Series' ranking is determined by tournaments with a buy-in of at least €125, excluding the Ladies event, Seniors event, Satellites, and Flip 'n Goes. Players earn participation points simply by entering a tournament, with these points scaled according to the buy-in amount. Additionally, players receive extra points for reaching the money spots, with these points (excluding participation points) being multiplied based on the size of the field. Detailed terms and conditions for the 'Player of the Series' ranking are available here. Below is the top 5 ranking from our 2024 stop in Rozvadov!

5. Lachezar Tsenov (124 Points)
Lachezar Tsenov is a very complete- and kind poker player, hailing from Bulgaria. With having one victory under his belt during The Festival Series Rozvadov, and two very solid finishes in the Sviten Special tournament, and the PLO Knockout tournament. During the event, I had spoken a bit with Lachezar, who explained he was enjoying the vibe at The Festival Series, and the diversity of games being offered.
This resulted in a total of 15 tournaments having participated in, and a 5th place on the overall ranking of the 'Player of the Series'. Not bad at all, when considering some of the best all-round players of buy-ins between €100 - €500, were present at the King's Casino in Rozvadov! Below you can find the top results of Lachezar Tsenov during this event:
Tournament Name | Place | Points |
---|---|---|
Sviten Special | 2nd | 23 |
PLO Freezeout | 1st | 28 |
PLO Knockout | 4th | 26 |
PLO 4/5/6 | 12th | 14 |

4. Rolf Arne Bechstrom (128 Points)
Rolf Arne Bechstrom is no stranger to The Festival Series. Ever since we got him in the picture during The Festival Series Malta back in 2023, he has proven to be a player who doesn't hold back when it comes to challenges! Thanks to a full package he won by capturing the victory in the Franke's Flips Flops ranking in Malta, he found himself back at the poker tables in Rozvadov!
Also in Rozvadov, he didn't lenoave any stone unturned, and won Back-to-Back the ranking of Franke's Flip Flops! A massive performance by Rolf, giving us the thoughts how he even accomplished to be in the top of the 'Player of the Series' leaderboard as well! Of course, we knew already that he is a very complete poker player, but how did he manage this while spending lots of time at the Flips tables?!
Here are the best results of Rolf:
Tournament Name | Place | Points |
---|---|---|
8-Game | 4th | 27 |
Blackjack Tournament | 11th | 15 |
Roulette Tournament | 2nd | 32 |

3. Ivo Gazde (131 Points)
The Festival Series is a live event which is open to all poker players from around the world. Ivo Gazde, originally from Croatia, travelled all the way to Rozvadov to participate in our mixed games festival, and looking at his results, he surely didn't had any regrets of that decision! Not only did he manage to cash in the Main Event, he also won an event with his Win The Button victory.
With just eight tournaments played during the entire event, he managed to get hold of the 3rd place overall, what is just an outstanding performance! Here are the best results of Ivo Gazde:
Tournament Name | Place | Points |
---|---|---|
Win the Button | 1st | 39 |
PLO Knockout | 2nd | 32 |
Main Event | 78th | 16 |
PLO Madness | 6th | 23 |

2. Scott 'Pokerbrahs' Kenyon (187 Points)
Scott Kenyon is known for showcasing his poker skills on his very own Twitch Channel. But not only that, he also took down this very same 'Player of the Series' ranking in Bratislava 2023! Miraculously you would say, as he did not win a single tournament back in Bratislava! That's why this ranking is so great, it's anyone's game, and if you have what it takes to become such an all-round and well-skilled poker player, you can take down the ranking even without a victory on the sheet!
'Pokerbrahs', which is his online alias, made it a true spectacle when it comes down to the spectacle factor. Not only did he do well throughout the series going to the end of the series, he even managed to secure a well-deserved victory in the final Open-Face Chinese High Roller! The enthusiasm this player brings to the tables is from an extraordinary good level, and streaming his live poker from a total of 20! tournaments throughout the event, shows the commitment of Scott Kenyon to make sure his community wouldn't miss a thing! Here are the best results of Scott 'Pokerbrahs' Kenyon of The Festival Series in Rozvadov 2024:
Tournament Name | Place | Points |
---|---|---|
Win the Button | 2nd | 32 |
PLO 4/5/6 | 8th | 20 |
OFC High Roller | 1st | 36 |
PLO/PLO8 | 3rd | 29 |

- Thomas Gugerbauer (200 Points)
During a live tournament series, you will immediately recognize when a player is running well throughout the entire event. Having seen not one, but two, winner portraits of Thomas Gugerbauer half-way the event, made us think we already have the 'Player of the Series' decided. If you add a whopping three podium finishes to that, you will have your best overall poker player of The Festival Series Rozvadov 2024!
As we mentioned before, it did became a very close call in the end. This because number two of the ranking Scott Kenyon, took down the OFC High Roller on the final day of the event, and Thomas Gugerbauer noted yet another 3rd-place finish in one of the side events. eventually Thomas will be glad he stayed until the end of the event, because this 3rd-place finish gave him eventually the title of 'Player of the Series'!
Congratulations to Thomas Gugerbauer for being the most accomplished player during The Festival Series Rozvadov 2024! You have won a package worth €1,600 for our next stop which starts on the September 8th, at the Portomaso Casino in Malta! Would you like to join this event as well? Take a look at our online qualifier page and perhaps we will see you, just like Thomas, back at the tables in Malta!
