Well, friends, didn't you wait? We love to make such surprises and right now we are announcing to you the big Russian-Israeli Grand Final, which will be held in Minsk on November 15-23.
The first joint stage of RUSSIAN POKER TOUR and ISRAEL POKER CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR in May this year broke all conceivable and inconceivable records for events in Belarus. The total prize pool for the May combined stage of the RPT & IPC Tour was about $700.000, 499 entries were registered in the Main Event, and $50.000 was paid to the winner. The tournament area was packed every day to overflowing with an international cast of participants, and the cash tables were bursting with the flow of people who wanted to.
In July, the II Russian-Israeli stage was supposed to pass in Minsk, but the unexpectedly changed rules for the entry of Israelis into Belarus ruined everything, the Israelis were forbidden to go to Belarus. Our Israeli partners very much asked us to organize a big event in November. So, the Russian-Israeli festival is again in Minsk, we are again bringing big poker to Belarus with the best compositions in the CIS.
We decided to put a bright and memorable point in the 2021 season and close it at the end of November with a large-scale poker festival with a guaranteed prize pool of $400.000, upon completion of which we will award the leaders of the rating with excellent bonuses, and the top 1 of the rating will receive a real champion belt of 2021!

TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
WHY IT IS WORTH TO PARTICIPATE ?
✅ NINE-DAY POKER FESTIVAL IN MINSK
In the memory of the players, the record and excitement of the spring Russian-Israeli stage of the RPT & IPC Tour is still fresh. Then the series without a guarantee collected more than $700.000 prize money. Our Israeli guests liked this cooperation and gladly responded to the idea of holding a joint Grand Final in Minsk. This time the series guarantee will be $400,000, but this is more of a formality, given the large influx of players from different countries. At the first stage in May, there were about 100 guests from Israel, this time they promised to come in a much larger composition. This means that we will have twice as much action and fun on the tournament platform.
✅ RELIABLE ONLINE PARTNER - GROMPOKER
Grompoker is the new official partner of the Russian Poker Tour tournaments, which has already managed to prove itself from the best side. In addition to the RPT stages in Armenia, satellites to other stages will be held in partnership with a young and fast-growing poker room - Grompoker. Deposits and withdrawals for Russian players - in national currency, no more problems with accessing and registering accounts. Satellites will start soon and our new online partner will try to surprise you.
✅ SUMMARIZING THE RATING RESULTS OF 2021
The Grand Final is a high time to take stock of the game year, rewarding the strongest participants in the 2021 season at its true worth. This series will be decisive, as a result of which the top 5 in the 2021 league table will receive great bonuses, and the leader of the table will take with him a real champion belt!
✅ FAVORITE MINSK and PROJECT
The capital of Belarus is beautiful at any time of the year. The price tags for air tickets have dropped significantly and it has become even easier to fly to Minsk from many cities of Russia. The land border is still closed, but let's not forget about the Lastochka high-speed train, which has been successfully running between Moscow and Minsk for several months. Tickets for it - only $25, 7 hours - and you are already in the capital of Belarus. Let's take a break from pressing problems and worries and once again plunge into the bright atmosphere of the Russian Poker Tour. Welcome to the RPT & IPC Tour International Grand Final in November!
Right now you can feel the RPT atmosphere by going to the Russian Poker Tour Instagram account in the Stories section. There are many interesting materials, many of which remain behind the scenes.
✅ EXCELLENT SCHEDULE
The schedule has undergone some changes. The series has tightened and there will be a total of nine playing days, but still there are still many available tournaments with solid buy-ins, including more expensive tournaments, in the schedule. The main tournament was to the liking of the players and remained the same democratic. By playing on the available days of the $135 Main Event, you go straight to the $550 Buy-In Main Day with Stacks Collected. In May, 499 entries were made in the main event, and the champion took away $50.000 with him. The High Roller Tournament will remain on the schedule, which will sparkle with new colors, as well as the renewed multi-day Russian Poker Open tournament, which replaced the Superstack Event. Every poker lover will find something suitable for himself.
By the way, subscribe to the Pokerstyle Events telegram channel, there will be many different contests with tickets for tournaments and satellites, and this is also a great way to quickly find out about all the updates of our series.
✅ CORRECT BALANCE OF KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENTS and CLASSIC
Most of the tournaments, including the opening tournament, will be held in the favorite Progressive Knockout format. The "progressive" format, as we can see, is becoming more and more popular, and we again decided to leave it in all knockout tournaments. Nevertheless, fans of classic tournaments will be able to find excellent tournaments without knockouts for themselves.
✅ TV BROADCAST
The glorious tradition of TV broadcasts from the Opera will also continue. Tournaments from the November schedule will also be accompanied by a live broadcast with commentary and a show of open cards. Let your friends and acquaintances see your game live. In addition to the main event, the High Roller Tournament will also be shown live. Let's see how it was on one of our last series.
✅ FREE ACCOMMODATION FOR CASH PLAYERS
Israeli players are well known for their action in cash games, this could be seen by everyone on the series in May, when the number of tables was above all expectations, and the limits reached the level of $25/50. There will be more cash games this fall and we are continuing our traditional cash pack promotion. Again, all participants in cash games, including participants in the $1/3 limit, can get free accommodation in Minsk, because, in parallel with the tournament battles, a real cash marathon awaits us again.
✅ NO 13% TAX ON PRIZE
Paying 13% on prize money? We don't think so. When organizing tournaments within the walls of the casino, we pay tax for each individual poker table so as not to deduct 13% tax from your prize money. Yes, paying tax on such a number of tables is not very cheap for organizers, but we know that it is better for our guests, which means that even more guests will appreciate it and come to the RPT series in Minsk.
ATMOSPHERE DURING THE SERIES
If you have been to the RPT, then you should know that on the Russian Poker Tour series, in addition to poker, we "walk" in nightclubs, sing karaoke, go go-karting and play football and the mafia. Our guests come not only for great poker tournaments, but also for a good rest and a break, and this is guaranteed.
Since ahead of us is not just an ordinary stage, but the Grand Final, the list of entertainment events will be expanded and replenished with new types of entertainment. We will keep it a secret for now, but we promise to pleasantly surprise you.
We are watching a video report from the May stage and making plans for the Grand Final.

As part of the November stage, our online partner Grompoker (http://grompokerru2.com) will surprise you with updated satellite structures and will give away a large number of both just tickets and participant packages, which include buy-in for the tournament + accommodation + money for expenses. It is much easier to become the owner of the coveted vouchers.

Don't miss this opportunity from our new online partner.

Players on Day 1 receive 20.000 chips and play up to 20% of the participants, after which they move to the main Day 1 with the collected stacks.

✈️ HOW TO GET TO MINSK
How to bypass the mandatory 10-day quarantine, arriving from the countries of the "red zone", as well as assistance in crossing the border by car.
The situation with the borders is gradually returning to normal, air traffic has already been fully restored to Belarus from Russia, the price tags for tickets have dropped significantly. The railway communication between Russia and Belarus works in the same mode. Recently, the Lastochka high-speed train was launched between Moscow and Minsk with tickets for only $25. 7 hours - and you are already in the capital of Belarus.
But still, in order not to serve the mandatory 10-day quarantine, arriving from the countries of the red zone, you need to make a special invitation for temporary entry into the Republic of Belarus. Its cost is 22 euros - especially for RPT guests. To do this, you need to contact the administrator by contact, listed below, and inform the planned dates of your arrival in Belarus. The process of making an invitation takes 3 days and is sent to your mail. You print it out and take it with you, along with a negative PCR test.
For citizens of the Russian Federation, crossing the border by car or bus, you need to have a document confirming the purpose of leaving the Russian Federation, and this can be: an employment contract, treatment in Belarus and for family reasons.
In order to receive an invitation, as well as to consult in detail on the issue of crossing the border, contact our administrator by phone +380637265269 (Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp).
