How can you qualify for the tournament for cheap?

As we have mentioned, Rakerace.com provides plenty of qualifying opportunities in its partner rooms, we are giving out roughly 30 seats in the coming months. The first satellites will take place on Everest Poker.

  • On November 16, from 20:00 we are organizing a Winner takes it all satellite on Everest Poker. The winner of the €1 buy-in tournament will receive a package worth €500 (€330 buy-in + 2 nights in Hotel Roomz)
  • On November 23, from 20:00 there will be a team competition - every member of the winning team receives a package! Teams with 3 members can participate in this tournament. We have developed a team competition site for this occasion, which makes the creation of teams very convenient. Everyone will have the opportunity to create a team, or to join an already existing team. The creator of the team can decide which applicants can join. In case a player joins a team, but is unable to play, swapping said player is easily done also.
  • In addition to the packages mentioned above, we will also distribute two packages in a sprint race which will run between November 16 - 25.
You can create your teams here.

Game on!

We are aiming to organize an event that is up to par with the international standards, and the Montesino casino in Vienna is a great partner to help achieve these goals. It is one of the most significant casinos in Central Europe with a huge experience in running live tournaments. The staff is prepared and the service is smooth.

The Poker Akademia Open was a success the first time around, there were 199 entries (185 players + 14 rebuys). The €25,390 first prize was claimed by Sándor Kóródi, who defeated Viktor Katzenberger in the heads-up.
