Online qualifiers from 0,25€!
Any one of you can be a part of this unique event for a minimal investment. The extensive online satellite schedule will help you do just that, with over €75,000 in guarantees to be given away between July 15 and August 19! Joining the iPoker Network allows you to qualify at multiple venues where either €1,850 packages (ME buy-in, 6 nights accommodation, €200 hospitality package and €250 pocket money) or €550 tickets to the Main Event will be up for grabs.
Qualifiers for the €1,850 packages are split into 4 Steps, which can make a great prize yours for as little as €0.25. That's because that's the buy-in for Step 1 of the qualifier, 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 every Sunday at 21:00 and will guarantee 5 - 9 packages.
If you are only interested in the €550 entry into the ME, you can get that in the €50 buy-in Direct Qualifier, which will be played regularly on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays. Two steps will also go into these qualifiers, the first for €0.50 and the second for €5.
