16 Jul 2013
The festival will take place from September 21st through October 3rd at the Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake – just 20 minutes away from downtown Montreal – and will feature a jam-packed schedule of live poker events.
The C$1,000,000-guaranteed Main Event kicks off on Friday, September 27th and runs for seven days. This re-entry tournament has three start days, allowing players who are knocked out on either of the first two start days to take another shot at a piece of the C$1,000,000 prize pool.
There is also a wide selection of games and events taking place before and after the Main Event, with buy-ins ranging from C$50 + C$10 through C$200 + C$20.
As well as the chance to compete for huge prizes and major tournament titles, Full Tilt Poker players will benefit from a host of exclusive extras that aren’t available to other participants, such as the $25,000 Second Barrel Freeroll, taking place on Sunday, October 13th at 19:00 ET. Players wearing the Full Tilt Poker patch with a valid Full Tilt Poker account will receive one $25,000 Second Barrel Freeroll ticket for each of the specified tournaments – the Main Event and Events 1, 10, 12, 14 and 17 – in which they fail to cash, up to a maximum of six tickets.
“We are very excited to announce the first ever Full Tilt Poker Montreal Festival. With 17 different events, special prizes for Full Tilt Poker players and a C$1,000,000 guarantee in the main, it’s definitely going to be a festival to remember,” said Sarne Lightman, Full Tilt Poker’s Head of Marketing. “Expect plenty more exciting details to be announced in the coming weeks.”
