The Microgaming Poker Network Poker Tour (MPNPT) has revealed plans to return to the Montecasino in Vienna for their first tour stop of 2017, and they have something extra special on tap.
The Microgaming Poker Network Poker Tour (MPNPT) has revealed that they will be returning to an old haunt for the opening event of the 2017 season.
On January 25, players will begin descending on the Montesino Casino, Vienna, Austria, to take part in a host of side events, cash games, and of course, the €550 buy-in Main Event.
The decision to return to Vienna was a no-brainer. At the turn of the year, Austrian, Jannis Bräuer defeated 483 entrants to take home the €54,000 first prize after beating Laszlo Toth from Hungary in heads-up action.
The 2016 Main Event carried a €200,000 Guarantee, and they smashed it, giving the team the confidence to try it again. Players can earn a package to the event worth €1,500 by playing in online satellites at MPN participating online card rooms.
Cutting open the package you get:
• Entry into the €550 MPNPT Main Event
• Entry into the €150 MPNPT Austria Poker Cup
• Accommodation for four nights at the Roomz Hotel, Vienna, including breakfast for the player and a guest
• A welcome party
• €400 towards travel and expenses
The MPN Vienna 9
No, it’s not some antiquated terrorism plot. The MPN Vienna 9 is a unique cash game that takes place on 25 January as a starter to the main course.
Competing players have the opportunity to earn up to €30,000 in readies. To get a seat at the cash game, players have to participate in the Vienna Cash Game Promotion in MPN card rooms.
The promotion runs from 16 Dec and ends 6 January. Every five minutes the busy little elves at the MPN will randomly deposit €2 into a cash game players account.
If you are lucky enough to receive one of these €2 drops, then you gain access to one of three exclusive freerolls that take place on three consecutive Fridays beginning on the 23rd Dec. The more cash drops you receive, the bigger your starting stack will be. The goal is to make the top three, and if you do that, you win an all-expenses paid trip to Vienna to take part in the event.
