Felix “xflixx” Schneiders has been a mainstay on Twitch and YouTube for years, but his latest project is taking poker streaming to the next level: live at the tables.
As Ivan writes, Schneiders has spent the EPT Prague series trying to capture a live trophy for his viewers, but variance had other plans. He reflects, “I think I played really well. The spots just didn’t go my way… I made one call that I’m not particularly proud of, but it was a tough spot.”
Making the jump to live streaming wasn’t always seamless. Schneiders started with just a smartphone, then built up a small team from his poker community. Now, his crew is capturing the highs and lows of live tournament play, even if the trophy continues to elude him.
“Making Day 2 is always nice.”
Whether it’s deep runs or early busts, xflixx is determined to keep the camera rolling. According to Ivan, the community is along for the ride, win or lose.

Jennings admits that his journey into poker began as a professional engagement but quickly became something he genuinely cares about.
“I think I exist in a niche… Some of the most famous people in the world in this room wouldn’t be recognized outside. I think everybody kind of has their place.”

Nick Walsh is doing double duty at EPT Prague.
Nick Walsh’s return to EPT Prague is more than a homecoming for the Spin & Go format. As Ivan writes, Walsh bridges the gap between player and commentator, bringing both technical analysis and a bit of humanity to the felt.
“It feels good to be back in the birthplace of where the Spin & Go championship started”
Walsh’s role at PokerStars has evolved, now shaping both the game’s broadcast and its formats. The focus on accessibility and authenticity is key, as Walsh argues that even in the digital era, connection matters. The Spin & Go tables at Prague, buzzing with energy, reflect the unpredictability that drew him to poker in the first place.

The EPT Prague 2025 Main Event bubble finally bursts.
No one was in a hurry to surrender their chips, so the bubble stage lasted for quite a bit. Reporters pacing nervously, photographers running from one table to another, but short stacks kept hanging in there. And then, AK ran into an almighty 9-5 that flopped two pair, and there was no runner-runner to save the day this time around. Unlucky for the AK owner, but there were no complaints from the rest of the field.There is no such thing as too much Spin & Go action for Nick Walsh.
I had a pleasure to catch up with Nick during the EPT Prague, and it should come as no surprise that a bulk of the interview was about live Spin & Gos, a game format that had its debut right here, in Czech capital. On-demand Spin & Gos have been running regularly every day, and players can’t seem to get enough of them. Walsh is loving it, as it only goes to further show just how much demand there is for the format.Kicking things off in style for the EPT Prague.
