“We have worked with Pokerfest Romania for a couple of months to put everything in place. We are extremely happy to up the cap to 800 and guarantee half a million. This is the biggest event we have ever done,” said Nataly Sopacuaperu, Head of Live Events at Unibet.
Players will stay at the luxury-grade Marriott hotel and will be treated to the famous Unibet hospitality, including welcome drinks, a players’ party and lots of activities away from the poker table.
As usual, you can watch the action live on Unibet’s Twitch stream with full commentary. Online qualifiers for the event will kick off in the next couple of weeks at Unibet.
More details about the Bucharest event will be released over the coming weeks, but first comes the Unibet Open Copenhagen which takes place August 25-28.
Copenhagen will also see WSOP November Niner Kenny Hallaert take over the Unibet Open tournament director duties for the first time. With Unibet successfully running its open tournament the industry is watching to see whether other 2nd tier sites like Betway will follow in kind to try and increase their own brand exposure
