The autumn poker calendar once again points to Sochi. On 16–27 October, the Sochi Poker Club is hosting the Russian Poker Cup, a poker series eagerly awaited by both professionals and first-time players.
Grand poker is coming to the Krasnaya Polyana Gaming Zone on 16 October. This large-scale championship traditionally starts with a RUB 1,000,000 free roll. The terms are simple, as usual: buy-in – zero, a guaranteed prize fund of one million roubles. Poker players of all levels love the free roll format because it gives them a perfect chance to enter into the rhythm of the game without spending and thinking too much. This is a sort of warm-up before the main battle, one that evens out the odds, because this is a tournament where both experienced regulars and first-time players find themselves at the same table.
The Russian Poker Cup series will last nearly two weeks. A lineup of over fifty events and thirty cup tournaments with zero-rouble buy-ins await autumn season participants. Buy-ins for other Russian Poker Cup tournaments in Sochi range from a few thousand in satellites and RUB 150,000 in high-roller tournaments.
This year, the Krasnaya Polyana Gaming Zone celebrates its tenth anniversary. Over the last ten years, Krasnaya Polyana has developed its own milieu and vibe, with poker loved both as a sport and a way to communicate. Live gaming gives players the kind of energy one cannot get online. Even so, if you feel you are not quite up to speed on the theory or rules, drop by the Poker School right at the venue or at the Casino School at Boomerang Casino. Dealers will spell out everything for you nicely and easily.
We await everyone eager to play at the Sochi Poker Club on 16-27 October. Maybe this is your chance to win the Russian Poker Cup!
