The Microgaming Poker Network has announced plans to team up with the Georgian powerhouse Adjarabet to host a $250,000 guaranteed Main Event in Tbilisi.
The Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) Main Event in Tbilisi will carry a $250,000 guarantee.
Ladies and gentlemen, that’s value right there.
The MPN festival in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi will take place 28-31 May 2015. It’s the second tour stop of 2015, and only the fourth in the events short history. The tour previously called in at London, Malta and Tallinn.
The Tbilisi event is going to be the biggest yet. To help make that happen, the MPN have teamed up with their newest partner Adjarabet. It’s been less than a week since I brought you the news that Adjarabet were the first online gambling company to take advantage of the new MPN Babelfish API. It seems they are not wasting anytime getting down to business.
The event will be held in the Sports Palace in May Square. Online qualifiers are already running on the MPN network for as low as 25 cents, and packages include your buy-in to the $550 Main Event, entry into a $100 Side Event, accommodation and €400 towards flight expenses.
‘We are delighted to be able to bring the MPN Poker Tour to Georgia for the first time’ said Alex Scott, Head of Poker at Microgaming. ‘This edition of the MPN Poker Tour looks to be the best value yet, and I know players will love the atmosphere in Tbilisi’.
2015 will see the MPN introduce their Player of the Year (POY) Leaderboard with the Global Poker Index (GPI) doing the back end work. The winner will win free entries into all of the 2016 MPN Main Events.
The Tbilisi Main Event will take place over four days: 28-31 May 2015.
Georgian poker is going through an exciting time. Not only is the MPN going to be paying them a visit, but the World Poker Tour (WPT) is also hauling their product into town this winter.
The WPT entered into a special licensing agreement with Europe-Bet.com and will host two WPT National Events, and a Main Event, in the Georgian capital.
