The biggest poker event in Belarus for the last 5 years!

Well, friends, what are you waiting for?

We deliberately got confused and calculated that the question "Well, when will the RPT return to Minsk?" during the year of our absence in Belarus, we received more than 150 times. We were attacked with questions everywhere: in the comments and private messages of our social networks, we were asked at the series in Armenia, and at the same time, the players wrote directly to the manager in the hope of getting the cherished dates for the future series. We all missed Minsk very much, and now the dates of the future series have become known - already in early April Belarus will host the largest poker event in the last 5 years!
We want not just to repeat the incendiary and unique atmosphere inherent in the series in Minsk, but to hold a truly special and memorable stage, unlike any other. Your attention is the announcement of the big TWELVE-DAY RUSSIAN POKER TOUR stage: an updated schedule with a bunch of cool tournaments and new formats, increased guaranteed prize money to a record $600,000 for Minsk, improved tournament structures, better and free entertainment from the organizers, as well as a lot of opportunities to qualify through online satellites. How do you like the beginning of April?
1️⃣✅ Long time no see

For more than a year, RPT has not visited Minsk with its series, everyone has already seriously missed us, everyone asked us to return to Belarus. During the recently completed RPT series in Armenia, we made a small dedication with the dates of the April stage in Minsk, after which our manager's phone literally exploded from the flow of people.

In the next week, we only had time to process the incoming flow of applications and make pending hotel and package reservations. Everything is understandable, the series will take place in the best possible place in Minsk - the Opera casino, located in the luxurious Beijing Hotel with the best possible price tag for accommodation and the best service. Minsk has not seen a guarantee of $600k for more than 5 years, this news will multiply the number of people who want to fly to the capital of Belarus in April, have a great rest and play in RPT tournaments.

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✅ PRIZES and TOURNAMENTS

At the upcoming RPT Minsk, we have increased the guaranteed prize pool in tournaments to a record $600,000. Although these prizes are just a formality, based on this amount you can roughly understand how many participants are expected and what minimum prize money you can count on. It is worth adding that the organizers do not withhold 13% tax and you receive your prize money in full.

Look at the schedule of our series, we believe that poker tournaments should be accessible to both a wide range of players and have impressive prizes. At the same time, we are trying to make more great events, and not limited to 3 main tournaments, as is customary. Getting the right balance of one-day and multi-day, progressive knockouts and regular tournaments, deep structured and turbocharged is our goal. Smooth prize structures in all tournaments, no imbalance in payouts. The main tournament of the series has remained the same democratic - $550 buy-in, about $50,000 will go to the winner live and under the gun of TV broadcast.

3️⃣✅ COMPOSITIONS and ATMOSPHERE

Minsk missed big poker, players from all over the CIS and neighboring countries were ready to break loose and take tickets to the capital of Belarus even at the moment of devotion. During the year of holding the RPT stages in Tsaghkadzor and Yerevan, many Armenians fell in love with the RPT series tournaments so much that they will continue to conquer the tournament peaks in Minsk with pleasure. In addition, we expect a large landing of players from Turkey, who will perfectly dilute the already colorful squads of participants.

The attention and excitement for the future series is huge, we have made a cool and eventful tournament schedule. But we are not going to stop at poker alone and as part of the series we will hold two coolest parties at once in the best nightclubs and karaoke bars of the capital in order to somehow make up for our parting. And you know how we love and know how to have fun.

4️⃣✅ EXPENSES

How much does it cost to go to a poker series? A question that many players, both beginners and more experienced, ask themselves. In the case of RPT Minsk, everything is simple, there is a perfect balance. Prices for flights to Minsk from many cities of the CIS are now at the lowest level for the entire time of observation, so a round-trip ticket from Moscow costs less than $100, the same situation with many Russian cities. The fast train "Lastochka" is even cheaper. If earlier guests preferred to travel by car to save money, now you can safely choose a plane, it will be cheaper.

Living expenses in Minsk are also low. See for yourself: A chic 5* hotel at the venue - $79 for two. 4* hotel within walking distance - $43. A huge number of apartments nearby from $20 is an excellent choice for large companies. Taxis in Minsk are quite inexpensive.

Food costs are quite low, a new, even more affordable menu has appeared on the RPT site, and prices in cafes and restaurants are two to three times cheaper than in Moscow.

5️⃣✅ ENTERTAINMENT

❤️April in Minsk is the perfect time for series, the city wakes up after hibernation, the weather just whispers, everything blooms and blooms, and the temperature reaches +15 degrees. A trip to a poker series is a great break and reset for most of our guests. Of course, what happens at the poker tables is the most important part of any poker series trip, but what else is there to do besides casino and poker? What to see, where to go, who to meet, where to walk and have fun is an equally important issue for many, especially for amateur players for whom poker is not a way to earn money.

Spring Minsk is ideal for such guests, it is a big city: the capital of the country, here you have parks and museums, karaoke, nightclubs, new acquaintances and adventures, all this is close to large-scale tournaments, there is where to go and where to get distracted. Our guests come not only for great poker tournaments, but also for a good rest and breakaway, and this is guaranteed. Add to that the branded RPT entertainment, which this time will be even more. What to expect: two parties for the players at once (a party in a nightclub and a separate karaoke battle, a mafia tournament, an adrenaline karting tournament, a fun FIFA tournament on the Playstation and much more). RPT Minsk is an ideal place for poker holidays and entertainment.

High rollers will take place at the junction with the main, you can take part in both tournaments without fear of intersections.

On the final day, the first four levels will be available for late registration.
