TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE



WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE?


SPRING MINSK
Every day the borders are opening up. There are now tickets from Russia to Minsk from many cities, and ticket prices have dropped significantly accordingly. The winter stage showed how much we missed the poker stages in Minsk. It's time to distract ourselves from worries and recall the bright atmosphere of Vbet Russian Poker Tour again. Welcome to the RPT Minsk in April!


GREAT SCHEDULE

We've tweaked a bit the February schedule and now we have an improved version. There are plenty of tournaments with lean buy-ins available, as well and more expensive tournaments. The Main Event format is now optimized, with $175 buy-in tournaments available and going straight into the Main Day with all your stacks in hand. Also remaining on the schedule is the High Roller tournament, which will once again be in the TV cameras' crosshairs. Every poker enthusiast will find something to suit them.


INTERNATIONAL EVENT
We decided to make the line-ups on the RPT even more bright and attracted a lot of foreign guests. A lot of players from Turkey and Europe come to Minsk and poker series in Europe stand idle, that's why the stages of the RPT in Minsk are becoming really international, that's what we saw in February. This means more action in tournaments and brighter lineups in the cash game.


MANY KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENTS
9 of the 16 tournaments, including the opening tournament, will be held in our beloved Progressive Knockout format. The progressive format, as we see, is becoming more and more popular, so we decided to keep it in all knockout tournaments. Progressive-knockout tournaments solve the main drawback of classic knockout tournaments - relatively small prize money because of the knockouts, now in the final stage you can knock out your opponent and get a sum comparable to the top prize money, because the bounties for opponents in the final stages "progressively increase".


TV BROADCASTS
We continue the glorious tradition of the TV's broadcasts from Opera Casino. Tournaments from the April schedule will also be accompanied by a live broadcast with commentary and displaying open cards. Let your friends see your live poker game. In addition to the Main Event, the High Roller tournament will also be streamed.


FREE ACCOMMODATION FOR CASH PLAYERS
We decided to continue the unique action for cash games at RPT series. All participants who enjoing playing cash, including participants of the limit of $1/3, can get free accommodation in Minsk. Already in February there were twice as many of them. And now with a lot of foreign guests from Turkey and Europe, we prognoze big cash game in Minsk.


NO 13% TAX ON PRIZE MONEY
Paying 13% on prize money? Nope, we disagree. When we organize tournaments inside the casino walls, we pay tax for each individual poker table so that we don't deduct 13% tax from your prize money. Yes, it's less profitable for organizers to pay the additional tax at so many tables, but we fully understand it's better for our guests. It means even more guests will appreciate the concept and will come to the Minsk RPT series.


ATMOSPHERE DURING THE SERIES
If you have ever been to the RPT, then you know that at the Russian Poker Tour series we usually chilling and hangoutting in the best night clubs, sing in karaoke, go karting and play soccer and mafia in addition to poker. Our guests come not only for the great poker tournaments, but also for the full recreation and relaxation, and it is guaranteed.
