Win A €100k Golden Pass To The Festival Bratislava with WPT Global
WPT Global has announced it will offer players the chance to win a €100,000 Live Champion Bonus, with Golden Passes available through satellite qualifiers to this February’s The Festival Bratislava.
Running from February 23 to March 1 at the Banco Casino in the Slovakian capital, The Festival is an early-season fixture on the European poker calendar, with WPT Global offering players a route into the €550 The Festival Main Event via satellite qualifiers starting from just $3.30.
It sounds like a tempting proposition, though recent history suggests one significant obstacle. If your name is not Sebastian Kotowicz, winning The Festival Main Event has proven difficult. The Polish grinder has captured the title in back-to-back years and returns to Bratislava this February chasing an unprecedented third straight victory.
That said, streaks are made to be broken, and with an additional €100,000 bonus on the line, along with accommodation and a whole host of other goodies, there has rarely been more incentive to try and be the one who finally stops him.
€100,000 Golden Pass To The Festival Bratislava Full Details
