1️⃣✅ BIG PRIZES The two previous stages of the RPT in Minsk brought a total of $1,500,000 in prize money. Minsk loves and always waits for big poker, Minsk is always ready to play a lot, and the RPT series on September 15-26 with a total guarantee of $700,000 fits into these criteria perfectly. The series was announced back in June, so many players have already marked these dates for a potential vacation, and after the dedication of the series at the July stage in Armenia, the number of calls has increased many times over. This is a special stage, within which there will be many different nice buns and gifts.
Right now, you can feel the atmosphere of the RPT by going to the Russian Poker Tour Instagram account in the stories section. There are a lot of interesting materials, many of which remain behind the scenes.
2️⃣✅ EXCELLENT TOURNAMENTS At the upcoming RPT Minsk, we are guaranteed to give away at least $700,000. And even despite the record guarantee for Minsk, the prize money will still be much higher. We try to combine the right balance of one-day and multi-day events, poker tournaments should be accessible to both a wide range of players and have impressive prize pools. Keeping this balance is our goal. It is worth adding that you receive your prize money in full without the 13% tax deduction!
Smooth structures, no imbalance in payouts. The Main Event will remain the same democratic - the buy-in is $550, the guarantee has been increased to $160,000, and about $50,000 will go to the winner live and under the gun of a TV broadcast.
3️⃣✅ COMPOSITIONS and ATMOSPHERE If a big stage takes place in Minsk, then players from different parts of the world definitely come to Minsk. For all the time of our events, we have walked all over Europe. We were in Georgia, and in Armenia, and in Kazakhstan, in Ukraine, Montenegro, Russia and even Egypt... In addition, our joint Russian-Israeli stages were super successful. All this makes the compositions on the RPT unique and unlike others. During the year of holding the RPT stages in Tsakhkadzor and Yerevan, many Armenians fell in love with the RPT series tournaments so much that they come and conquer the tournaments in Minsk with pleasure.
The attention and excitement for the future series will again be huge, we have made a cool and busy tournament schedule. But we are not going to stop at poker alone, and within the framework of the series we will again hold several coolest parties at once in the best nightclubs and karaoke bars of the capital. It will not do without your favorite championships in karting and FIFA. And you know how we love and know how to have fun????.
4️⃣✅ EXPENSES 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 time of observation, so a round-trip ticket from Moscow costs about $100, from St. Petersburg - around $110, the Lastochka fast train costs even cheaper.
With regards to living expenses in Minsk, the prices will also pleasantly surprise you. A chic 5⭐️ hotel at the venue - $80 for two, 4⭐️ hotel within walking distance - $43. A huge number of apartments nearby from $20 is an excellent choice for large companies, a taxi in Minsk is quite inexpensive. Food prices are also quite low, and prices in cafes and restaurants are two to three times cheaper than in Moscow.
5️⃣✅ ENTERTAINMENT ❤️ What Minsk is - it's a cozy, very clean and incredibly warm city in every sense. In spring and summer, the temperature here is super comfortable, in autumn and winter, charming and hospitable residents of the capital of Belarus will warm you with a kind heart and care. A trip to the poker series in Minsk is a great rest and refreshment for most of our guests. The location is perfect, here you have parks and museums, karaoke, nightclubs, a sea of beautiful girls, new acquaintances and adventures, all this is close to large-scale tournaments, there is where to go and where to get distracted.
