Get Ready For the €1M Gtd Bratislava Poker Festival 2023
Table Of Contents
The brains behind the increasingly popular Irish Poker Tour are bringing an action-packed six-day schedule to the Slovakian capital Bratislava. The 2023 Bratislava Poker Festival's schedule is not only crammed full of events, but those tournaments come with combined guaranteed prize pools of €1 million.
The 2023 Bratislava Poker Festival takes place at The Card Casino in Bratislava, Slovakia, from July 18 through July 23. Situated one minute's drive from Bratislava airport along the Danube River, The Card Casino is Slovakia's largest casino, and it will need to be to accommodate the upcoming Bratislava Poker Festival.
Fintan Gavin, the CEO of the Irish Poker Tour, said, "We're ready to bring the magic of Irish Poker to the heart of Europe. We know what players want, and we're ready to give it to them."
Full 2023 Bratislava Poker Festival Schedule
The Irish Poker Tour's influence becomes apparent when you look at the exciting schedule. Although No-Limit Hold'em events dominate proceedings, as they tend to do with every online and live poker festival, there are plenty of Pot-Limit Omaha tournaments adorning the schedule.
One such event, the Euro Omaha Championship 7-Max, is nothing short of massive. Commanding a €3,000 buy-in, unless you win your way in via one of the live satellites at The Card Casino, this event comes with a €200,000 guaranteed prize pool, which is almost unheard of in PLO circles.
Euro Omaha Championship players sit down with a generous 30,000 starting stack, and play to 40-minute levels where the blinds start at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Re-entries are unlimited for the first nine levels, so expect the action to be fast and furious.
PartyPoker LIVE Releases Schedule For All New Grand Prix Bratislava
The piece de resistance, if you will, is the €500,000 guaranteed Grand Prix, in association with PartyPoker LIVE. Entering the Grand Prix costs €550 unless you win your way into it via the live satellites or online satellites at PartyPoker; more on those soon.
Every Grand Prix player receives a 40,000-chip starting stack and plays to blinds starting at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante. Late registration remains open for nine levels, and those levels are 30 minutes long for Levels 1-12 and 25 minutes long for Levels 13-14, after which each flight ends. Only one re-entry per flight is permitted.
Day 2 of the Grand Prix sees the blind levels extended to 45 minutes, and 12 levels are scheduled. The third and final day plays to a 60-minute clock until a champion is crowned.
