Whilst Super High Roller events are a great specatator sport, most of us are not going to be laying down a $100K buy-in to take on the high roller elites in a live poker tournament. Thankfully, there are some great low-mid buy-in live events running in February, where the buy-ins are small and the prize pools are life-changing amounts.

We’ve picked some of the best events to try and make a deep run at this month, without breaking your bankroll.

Unibet DeepStack Open : Aix-en-Provence (France)

• Dates: Feb 1–8, 2026
• Venue: Pasino Grand – Partouche, Aix-en-Provence
• Buy-in: Approx. €300 (Main Event)
• Highlight: Deepstack structure, strong field take-up

One of the most popular deepstack events in continental Europe, the Aix-en-Provence series draws a mix of locals and travelling grinders alike. With a light buy-in and deep structures, it’s ideal for players who want real tournament experience and a structured deep run. Last year’s winner in Marrakch took home $83.780,58 for first-place. Multiple side events often run with even lower entry points and attractive payouts.
