Autumn Classic
"Four days inside the room Dostoevsky wrote about, at the edge of the Black Forest."
Baden-Baden's Kurhaus is not a place you visit casually. The Bénazetsaal was decorated for Napoleon III's wife; the roulette wheels are the same numbered set that have been in service since the 1950s. In autumn the forest around it turns copper and the town empties of tourists.
The Autumn Classic runs a slow-structure No-Limit Hold'em over four days. Registration closes Friday morning; the final table is scheduled for Monday afternoon, on-camera, in the Roter Saal. In between, we run a shorter Pot-Limit Omaha side event and one long baccarat session on Sunday night.
Local pairing menus by the Kurhaus kitchen. A shuttle runs to Brenners Park-Hotel and to the thermal baths for guests who want to disappear between sessions.
