The main event has over 70 online qualifiers already registered, with another 20 or so expected to join them through online satellites by mid-September. Sign up to Unibet and make sure you get it in good!
Win one of a GTD 5 seats this weekend
On Sunday, September 4 at 20:00 (CET), you will get the chance to win your way to Malta in one of the many Unibet Poker online satellites. The tourney will see at least 5 places winning a €2000 package to the Unibet Open in Malta.
The first-place packages will include the following:
- €1,1000 buy in (€,000 + €100)
- 4 nights’ accommodation at the 5-star Intercontinental Hotel
- €250 travel/spending money
The buy in to the satellite is €250, however, you can find qualifiers every day for as little as €0.40. So really, what’s stopping you? There are also €2 hyper-qualifiers with 3-5 mins blinds for those that enjoy a crapshoot.
If you think that’s still too much to spend on winning your ticket, there are also freerolls! With 20 qualifier tickets up for grabs in each freeroll, you can actually win your seat to the Unibet Open, for free.
