Table Of Contents
Do you hate grinding hard in order to satellite into a major online poker tournament, only to get busted by sharks with big bankrolls who can buy-in direct? Well Unibet Poker have just the tournament for you.
Starting June 9th, players can earn their way into a €25 buy-in Final on July 5th exclusively through satellites. The Final offers no direct buy-in which means every player must satellite in.
The lowest tier is a freeroll satellite, with passwords being given out on Unibet Poker Ambassador Ian Simpson's Twitch stream all this month. Simpson is one of many popular poker Twitch streamers out there and he'll be looking to get involved in this exciting tournament.
