WHERE SMILES ARE REWARDED

OLA POKER TOUR officially launched in June 2025, with global aspirations to bring passion, fun, and life-changing opportunities for all poker players! Our motto: ‘Where Smiles Are Rewarded!’

Live poker is characterized by fierce competition and high rewards. But that doesn’t mean you can’t say ‘OLA’ to your opponents and share a smile!

At our debut festival in Rozvadov, Germany’s Alexander Metz dominated the Main Event final table with seven knockouts, winning €72,800.

Meanwhile, the Ola Team Event Leaderboard added extra excitement and plenty of laughter, with Team BPS (British Poker Series) ultimately crowned champions after standout performances from Luke Tatum (PLO winner) and Aytan Eldarova (Ladies’ champion).
