✅ EXCELLENT COMPOSITION AND BEST ATMOSPHERE

The tournament series from Pokerstyle Events always has a warm and friendly atmosphere; most participants come in pursuit of new experiences and emotions. We strike the perfect balance by offering affordable tournaments with big prizes. When you can get huge prizes for small entrance fees, at the same time, the entrance fees are not affordable and are affordable for most poker fans. All major tournaments, just like last time, will be held in the 9-max format. All this without having to pay 13% on prize money. When organizing tournaments within the casino, we pay tax for each individual poker table so as not to withhold a 13% tax on your prize money. Yes, paying tax on such a number of tables is not very cheap for the organizers, but we know that it is better for our guests.

Right now you can feel the RPT atmosphere by going to the Russian Poker Tour Instagram account in the stories section. There is a lot of interesting material there, many of which remain behind the scenes.

✅ LOW COSTS

How much does it cost to travel to the poker series? A question that many players, both new and more experienced, ask themselves. It often happens that living expenses and everyday expenses take up an impressive part of the trip budget. Or vice versa, the trip is relatively inexpensive, but the tournaments are so "inexpensive" that the prize money is not particularly attractive. Minsk still remains one of the most accessible cities in terms of visiting. Prices for flights to Minsk from many CIS cities are now at the lowest level for the entire period of observation, so a round-trip ticket from Moscow costs about $100, from St. Petersburg - around $110, and the fast train "Lastochka" costs even less.

Regarding living expenses in Minsk, the prices will also pleasantly surprise you. Luxurious 5⭐️ hotel at the venue - $80 for two, 4⭐️ hotel within walking distance - $48. A huge number of apartments nearby from $20 are an excellent choice for large companies; taxis in Minsk are quite inexpensive. Food prices are also quite low, and in cafes and restaurants prices are two to three times cheaper than in Moscow.

A trip to the anniversary stage of the RPT in Minsk is budget-friendly and affordable, and at the same time, you will find a luxurious venue, the largest tournaments in Belarus, a large number of TV broadcasts, cool entertainment and gifts for all participants.
