Sochi Casino, Russia, provides its luxurious surroundings for the Sochi Poker Festival Autumn Edition, which takes place over the course of nine days from Nov 21-29. The venue has a huge poker room in addition to 569 slot terminals and 70 gaming tables, plus some of the best restaurants in Sochi, fashionable boutiques and a cabaret theatre, so there’s plenty to do away from the poker tournaments.

Sochi Poker Festival Autumn Edition’s Main Event is the showpiece event of the 11-event schedule. With a ₽6 million guarantee (approx. $88,400), this event is the richest on the schedule and it is possible to enter the action for only ₽33,000 (approx. $486). Three starting flights are available.
