Unfortunately Venice will be missing out on hosting the final leg of the Unibet Open tour this winter, but the ever-popular Vic will now take a turn to welcome qualifiers, pros and the best of British players to the last Main Event of 2010. Near the bustling center of the city, the casino is conveniently located right by several tube lines allowing easy access to one of the biggest and most exciting cities in the world for players to explore on their days off. Not that the last stop will be short on poker action, with a 24-hour card room spreading cash games round the clock and the usual hotly-contested side events planned for all four days.
266 players fought for the Unibet Open title the last time an event was staged here, in 2009, with Thanh Doan taking down the title and the £187,000 first prize. This year, with the continual growth of the tour and the introduction of higher starting stacks, expect a higher turnout and more of the fierce competition Unibet Open has become known for creating. To get a feel for the venue and the event as it was staged last year, check out the 2009 videos here.
Qualification is already underway online at www.unibet.com/poker; end the year in style with a trip to London and a shot at a Unibet Open title.
