- Main event is a CAD $1100 rebuy with three day 1’s.
- Sixteen other low-buyin events are planned over the 12 day schedule.
- Full Tilt has also put its name to the Galway Poker Festival and the Czech Pardubice Festival, both getting underway next week.
Full Tilt Poker has announced the Montreal Festival, an all-new poker event in Kahnawake.
Seventeen mostly low-buyin events are scheduled, starting on September 21 and spread over 12 days. A variety of NL and PLO events will be available, including freeze-outs, rebuys and deepstack turbos. Buyins outside the main event range from CAD $60 to $220.
There is also a novelty “win the button” CAD $70 + $10 tournament where, as the name suggests, the winner of the previous hand gets the button at the next. The blinds rotate as normal. The tournament was popularized with PokerStars’ EPT events in 2012.
The main event is a CAD $1100 rebuy event, with three day 1’s. It guarantees a prize pool of at least CAD $1 million.
The Montreal Festival is the third Full Tilt-branded live event the poker room has announced since it was relaunched by PokerStars in late 2012. The Galway Poker Festival, which gets underway next week, is billed as the largest poker event ever held in Europe, with 60 events crammed into 16 days.
Full Tilt has also quietly put its name behind the “FullTiltPoker.net Pardubice Festival” in the Czech Republic, now entering its seventh year. It also gets underway next week, and offers 36 events over 17 days.
