The new ELITE Series starts. Hundreds of thousands and packages to Las Vegas are up for grabs
Attractive tournaments with a great guarantee, but also with subsequent opportunities to qualify for world tournaments. All this is offered to poker players by Card Casino Bratislava. One and the other is associated with the ELITE series, the next edition of which starts on Friday, April 26.
For several months from spring to autumn, progressive players will collect points and win thousands of euros in the Elite Series.
In the series itself, players will collect points and the best players will be rewarded with a cool prize. There is a guaranteed 2x €12,000 package to the WPT 2024 in Las Vegas.
And how does the ELITE ranking itself work?
Each Elite Poker Series tournament with a buy-in of €120 and a minimum of €50,000 GTD will result in a 3% deduction from the prizepool to the Leaderboard.
The number of winners of subsequent packages depends on the total amount collected at the end of the league. The first package will be awarded to the overall winner.
The final Freeroll for the remainder of the guarantee will be played by the players in 2nd-17th position in the overall standings.
The expected number of Elite Series tournaments is 11, players who finish in the top 17 in the rankings and miss no more than one tournament out of the total will receive extra chips in the final freeroll.
The final freeroll will take place on 10.11.2024 at 16:00.
For each entry into the tournament, the player will receive 2 points in the Leaderboard, the distribution of points is as follows:
16. Place - 5 points
15. Place - 6 points
14. Place - 7 points
13. Place - 8 points
12. Place - 9 points
11. Place - 10 points
10. Place - 11 points
