King’s Casino to Host the €2.25M German Poker Championships
The lavish King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, is the place to be between August 9-14 because it is hosting the partypoker LIVE German Poker Championships. The inaugural event coincides with the launch of the new King’s Hotel and Casino expansion.
Six events are scheduled for the German Poker Championships with combined guarantees of €2,250,000. While all six tournaments look like being superb value, it is the €2,200 buy-in German Poker Championship that is likely to attract the most players due to its €1 million guaranteed prize pool.
Like most of partypoker LIVE’s recent tournaments, the German Poker Championship is a multi-phase event that takes place both online at partypoker and live at King’s Casino. The introduction of phases is something new to King’s Casino and follows on from the recent success of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS at Dusk Till Dawn in the United Kingdom.
Satellites for the €1 million guaranteed event are currently available at partypoker from as little as $2.20 and you can win $2.20 tickets from only $0.01. If you download partypoker via PokerNews and enter the bonus code “PNCOM” when making your first deposit, partypoker will match it 100 percent up to a maximum of $500.
