1️⃣ RPT MAIN EVENT $120/$490. $140,000 guaranteed.
15,000/75,000 stack, 20/35/40 and 45 minute levels.
The same accessible Main Event format, this time the buy-in has increased, but the Main Event will still remain just as democratic. You can enter the Main Event directly for $490, receiving a starting stack of 75,000 chips. Or you can try to get into Day 1A of the Main Event for just $120 through four stages - Stage A, B, C, D and E. Their participants receive 15,000 chips at the start and play up to 20% of the total number of entries into this stage. In other words, every fifth participant from each stage advances to Day 1A of the Main Event with the stack they managed to accumulate during that stage.
The winner of the Main Event in Armenia always gets a solid five-digit sum, and the total number of entries in the tournament is always around 400! The optimal entry day is Day 1A, which is attended by most winners of online satellites and those who passed through the stages at the series itself.
