1️⃣✅ UPDATED TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
Added tournaments in the classic format (not knockout);
The Russian Poker Open Tv Event has been returned to the schedule;
Some progressive knockout tournaments have become classic knockouts, for example Superknockout Event (250+250);
The popular Mystery Bounty tournament has changed its structure, now all starting days have the same buy-ins of $260;
We have reduced the buy-in for the X Event and will start it earlier than usual.
2️⃣✅ 7 TIMES MORE TELEVISION BROADCASTS (tournaments and cash)
Previously, we only showed televised finals from the main event, sometimes from the X Event. We have decided to significantly increase the number of television broadcasts from RPT. In November, 6 tournaments will be held under cameras and spotlights. You are now 7 times more likely to get to the TV table on the RPT.
In addition to broadcasts of tournament battles, we will conduct two broadcasts of cash games, Omaha and Texas at medium limits (5/5 - 5/10). If you want to get to the TV table for a cash battle, contact our administrator, we are looking for bright, emotional players who will be interesting to watch for thousands of poker fans.
3️⃣✅ 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.
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.
4️⃣✅ SMALL 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 - $43. 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.
5️⃣✅ NO 13% TAX ON PRIZES AND ENTERTAINMENT
Should I pay 13% on prize money? We don't think so. 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.
A trip to the poker series is a great relaxation and reboot for most of our guests. Of course, what happens at the poker tables is the most important part of any trip to the poker series, but what can you do besides the casino and poker? Minsk has a fairly wide selection of entertainment for every taste. Traditionally, we organize karting, karaoke and mafia tournaments with valuable prizes for our guests, as well as a branded RPT party in the best night spot in Minsk.
