Kenny Hallaert Reveals His 2025 Las Vegas Poker Tournament Calendar

Attention all poker players: Kenny Hallaert has presented his 2025 Las Vegas Poker Tournament Calendar. On April 15, 2025, the competition sheet was published, which brought together over 1000 tournaments from the major series like WSOP (World Series of Poker), Venetian DeepStack, and Wynn Summer Classic, which runs between May 27 and July 16. Hallaert’s free guide, the “SpaceyFCB Sheet”, is a kind gesture aimed at aiding players when navigating the busy summer poker scene in Vegas. Let’s look at what is on offer, why this calendar is important, and how it is shaping up for poker fans in 2025.

A One-Stop Guide for Vegas Poker

Hallaert’s calendar is a gift for poker players. It provides a spreadsheet that can sort every main tournament in Las Vegas this summer. From the $10,000 WSOP Main Event to the $600 PokerGO Mixed Game Series at Aria, it informs you about the date, buy-in, venue, and format. The calendar is hosted at the site SpaceyFCB.be, run by Hallaert, who has also been X’ing it out. Hallaert mentioned, "The schedule for this year is bigger than ever and now it offers new events and higher guarantees.".

The 2025 WSOP will take place from May 27 to July 16 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. It will feature 100 bracelet events, including user favorites, the $1,500 Millionaire Maker and the $5,000 Champions Reunion. Multiple other series, like the Venetian’s DeepStack Championship (May 26–July 31) and Wynn’s Summer Classic (June 1–July 16), add hundreds of tournaments, from $200 daily no-limit hold ’em to $10,000 high rollers. According to PokerNews, the WSOP expects up to 20,000 players and has made registration easier by offering online satellites on WSOP.com and GGPoker.

Hallaert’s Legacy as a Poker Pro and Organizer

Kenny Hallaert isn’t just a whiz with spreadsheets, he’s also a major name in the poker scene, racking up close to $5.5 million in career winnings. One of his biggest highlights? A sixth-place finish in the 2016 WSOP Main Event, earning him a cool $1.46 million. Fast forward to 2024, and he’s now a PokerStars ambassador, a live events consultant, and a tournament director. He's helped shape both the European Poker Tour and the Belgian Poker Challenge. Alongside him, Simon holds down the fort as the European Poker Tour Director and PokerStars’ flagship manager.

According to Poker.org, Hallaert’s famous “SpaceyFCB Sheet” was the first of its kind. While others have tried to replicate it, none have matched its simplicity and depth. It’s still the go-to planning tool for serious players.

Creating this resource was Hallaert’s way of giving back. “I created this to help users with their summer plan,” he shared on X (@SpaceyFCB). And for 2025, the sheet just got even better. TightPoker notes it now includes new WSOP events like the “Battle of the Ages,” where different age groups go head-to-head, and a Celebrity Poker Tour Championship featuring sports stars. These updates reflect Vegas’s push to keep poker fun, inclusive, and full of fresh energy.

What’s Hot in the 2025 Schedule?

The 2025 Vegas poker scene is stacked with variety. The World Series of Poker will kick off with a ($5,000) Champions Reunion No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout. Awarding anyone who knocks out a past Main Event champ a seat in the 2025 Main Event. The $250,000 Super High Roller is for those playing big, while budget players can play for cheaper options like the $500 Colossus.  PokerNews highlighted the return of the $1,000 Ladies Championship, which set a record with 1,295 entries in 2024, signaling strong demand for inclusion.

Besides the WSOP, an estimated 150 or more events will take place at the Venetian’s DeepStack tournament. It will include a $1,600 Mystery Bounty with a guarantee of $1 million. The Wynn Summer Classic has a Championship Event with a buy-in of $10,000. Meanwhile, Aria's PokerGO Mixed Game Series is for non-hold’em players. It features seven events, including a $25,300 10-Game Championship event. Twitter Updates from @PokerVegas highlight the incredible value in their daily deepstacks with buy-ins starting from just $135. 

Challenges and Controversies

The Vegas poker scene isn’t without hiccups. Pro Mike Holtz alleged that players colluded (to get an edge by sharing card information) at Resorts World’s Poker Atlas Tour, which took place in March 2025. Joel Baker, who came in third place, supported his allegations, informing PokerNews that an odd demeanor was exhibited by the winner, Juan Campayo Hernandez. Even though no actions were taken, the incident did spark calls for tighter oversight, while Hallaert’s PokerStars role focused on making tournaments more reliable. 

Logistics also pose challenges. Players must plan their schedules wisely to avoid player burnout or empty wallets with overlapping series. Hallaert’s calendar makes filtering by date or buy-in easy. Considering there are over 1,000 events, there’s definitely fierce competition for players. This is exactly why smaller venues like Orleans and South Point have introduced their own series to get a slice of the action.

Why This Calendar Matters

Hallaert’s calendar is not just a schedule but a blueprint for poker’s biggest stage. It helps recreational players take out the mystique of the chaotic Vegas summer and find inexpensive events. Pros will also use it to maximize return on investment in large buy-in tournaments. It is available for everyone without charge, and that is what earns Hallaert credibility. PokerStars' Vadim Soloveychik praised his "passion for improving the game," and the demand for the calendar shows why.

The season 2025 also reflects the evolution of poker. The game is combining history with modernity, with crypto platforms like CoinPoker offering $250,000 tournaments and WSOP spots, and stars like Daniel Negreanu winning PokerGO events. Anyone heading to Vegas should definitely have Hallaert's guide since it catches this change.
