The biggest online poker provider of the world, PokerStars has announced that they will increase their global presence. They will do this by introducing a new poker tournament in Bulgaria.
The Balkans PokerStars Poker Festival as it will be called, is scheduled for 2 to 5 September this year at the Grand Hotel and Casino in the Golden Sands resort in Bulgaria. Thanks to the buy-in of € 990 approximately 200 poker players from Europe are expected to join in the No-Limit Hold’em tournament. The winner will receive the € 5.300 buy-in for the European Poker Tour in Prague. The five-star Golden Sands Resort is located approximately 17 km. north of Varna in Bulgaria. The hotel is known for its magnificent views, exclusive bars and the largest poker room in Bulgaria. Some PokerStars tournaments continue to attract more visitors.
For example, William Thorson won the Baltic Poker Festival last month with a prize of € 83.823 and had to beat 221 professional poker players to win it. Poker Satellites for the Balkan Festival are playing on PokerStars in different games and buy-ins levels.
