Every fun and poker lover should pay attention and save the dates - from November 18th to 24th, the popular The Festival series will return to Banco Casino Bratislava! It will bring more than 50 different events, including formats such as Open Face Chinese, PLO 4/5/5 or Sviten Special, and of course there will also be a juicy cash game event. Headlining all the tournaments is the €550 Main Event, which will offer players a guarantee of a whopping €500,000, so there really is something for everyone!

Daily online qualifiers
 

The great atmosphere and fun of this series is regularly provided by dozens of online qualifiers who can qualify for the event for a minimal investment. The Bratislava stop is no exception, which once again has a strong online partner in iPoker, which across its poker rooms is guaranteeing over €45,000 in qualifiers!

Until November 3, various qualifiers will be running across all iPoker sites, allowing you to qualify for Bratislava for as little as €0.25! There are €550 Main Event entries up for grabs but also complete packages worth €1,850 split into 4 Steps that can make a great prize yours for as little as €0.25. That's the buy-in for Step 1 qualification, from which you can progressively qualify via €3 and €15 to the final Step with a buy-in of €100. The final Step qualifiers will be played on Sundays at 21:00 and will guarantee 5-packs.

If you are only interested in a €550 entry into the ME, you can get that in the €50 buy-in Direct Qualifier, which will be played regularly on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. Two steps will also go into these qualifiers, the first for €0.50 and the second for €5. Qualifiers for The Festival Bratislava have been taken under their wing this year by the iPoker network, which covers 26 different poker rooms and poker operators around the world.
