Betfair Poker LIVE / Matthew Pitt / 17 August 2011 / Leave a Comment

The schedule for eagerly anticipated Betfair Poker LIVE! Tour has been announced and those taking part in the events are sure to be delighted with the venues chosen for the four stops.

First up is the first-ever Betfair Poker LIVE! Tour in Dublin, Ireland, one of the most popular destinations for partying and poker in the world! Running between September 22-25 at the historic Fitzwilliam Casino & Card Room, it will be the first chance players get to see the new blind structures, which have been slightly tweaked this year to make them more appealing to recreational players, and also the brand new, unique format of this year's Betfair Poker LIVE! Tour Main Events.

Each of the Main Events will cost $600+$50 to enter but $100 of that entry fee will be placed on each player's head in the form of a bounty, meaning each tournament is being played to an Eliminator-style format. We will have the full rules up on the site shortly and also some strategy and hints on how to approach this particular type of tournament. It should make for an interesting dynamic as every single all in could win players money!

After Dublin the tour heads to the Gran Casino in Costa Brava, Spain between November 11-13, then to the excellent Fox Poker Club in London between February 17-19 before heading off to Prague for the finale, though dates are yet to be confirmed for the final leg.

The only way to qualify for any of these four events is through Betfair Poker, either buying in directly through the poker client or by winning the many satellites that will run right up to each stop. There will be plenty of freerolls being offered but for those wanting to bypass that stage can buy into Level 1/4 for just $0.55, Level 2/4 for $5.50, Level 3/4 for $24 or Level 4/4 for $120 and try to win their seats that way.

The Fitzwilliam Casino & Card Room only has the capacity for 160 players and seats are sure to be in high demand so either buy-in directly or get busy with the various satellite tournaments running now exclusively on Betfair Poker.
