TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE




WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE?


✅ PREDICTED RETURN OF RPT & IPC TOUR TO MINSK

After the record and insane spring stage of the RPT & IPC Tour, it would be foolish not to hold an even biggest stage this summer. Our Israeli guests liked this cooperation, 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.


✅ NEW ONLINE PARTNER - GROMPOKER

Grompoker is the new official partner of the Russian Poker Tour tournaments. We decided to conduct the next RPT stages (except for the RPT stages in Armenia) 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.


✅ SUMMER MINSK and TRAVEL

The capital of Belarus is especially beautiful in summer. Oddly enough, the price tags for air tickets have dropped significantly and it has become even easier to fly to Minsk from many cities in Russia. The land borders are 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 international stage RPT Minsk in July!

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. There are still many solid buy-in tournaments available, including more expensive tournaments. The players liked the Main tournament and it remained the same democratic. By playing on the available days of the $ 135 Main Event, you jump straight to the $ 550 Buy-In Main Day with Stack Collected. In May, 499 entries were made in the Main event, and the champion took away $ 50,000. 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.


✅ GREAT BALANCE OF KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENTS and CLASSIC RE-ENTRIES

Half 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 decided to keep it in all knockout tournaments. Nevertheless, fans of classic tournaments will be able to find excellent tournaments without knockouts for themselves. It is noteworthy that this series will host the Omaha Championship in a regular format and without knockouts.


✅ TV BROADCAST

The glorious tradition of TV broadcasts from the Opera will also continue. Tournaments from the July schedule will also be accompanied by a live broadcast with commentary and a display 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.

HOW TO GET TO MINSK

How to bypass the mandatory 10-day quarantine, arriving from the countries of the «red zone», and the assistance in crossing the border by car.

The situation with the borders is gradually returning to normal, there are already many flights to Belarus, the price for which have dropped significantly. The railway communication between Russia and Belarus works in the same mode. Recently, a high-speed train "Lastochka" 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, indicated below, and inform the planned dates of your arrival in Belarus. The process of making an invitation takes 3 days. You print it out and take it with you, along with a negative PCR test.

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)
