PokerStars Festival in Sochi: A Blend of Poker, Nature, and Unique Experiences


The PokerStars Festival in Sochi was held in October 2017, offering a unique blend of poker, beautiful landscapes, and unforgettable experiences. The author and team traveled to the mountains to capture the beauty of the landscape.

The author and team visited the 'Gorki City' ski resort, where they encountered children who mistook them for a 'gypsy team'. The team also experienced a PokerStars event with Playboy, which included various performances and a free bar for players.

The author and team interviewed Roman Zhuravlev about his views on poker and Playboy. They also spoke with Konstantin Puchkov about wine recommendations, focusing on Italian red wines. Additionally, they met Igor Kurganov and Liv Boris, who shared their adventure in the mountains, including a chance encounter with Russian friends.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
