Quiz host Ian Simpson said: “Online Unibet Opens are now a regular feature on the poker player’s calendar. Come join me on Twitch – to chat, interact or just answer questions. We’ll be having a lot of fun and giving away prizes for each of the three quiz rounds.”
Unibet Open Main Event
The Main Event on December 13 will cost €1,100 to enter, and features a single re-entry option with a 15k starting stack. Late reg is open until the end of level 12. The final Day 2 will resume at 7pm on Monday, December 14.
The last Unibet Open online in October was won by Unibet regular Padraig “John_smith2” O’Neill. O’Neill turned a €50 satellite win into a lifetime best cash of €79,998 after beating a 387-entry field. He told PokerNews afterwards: “I am thrilled to have booked my biggest ever win in the Unibet open Online. I play on the site most nights and I actually qualified all the way from a €50 satellite.”
The total prize pool in the Main Event was €406,350 – considerably more than the €150,000 guarantee. Some 62 players finished in the money with a min-cash worth €1,767.
Promotions such as extra leader boards, a Bubble Burster Showdown tournament and exciting mystery tournaments are set to be featured during the Series generating thousands of euros in cash prizes.
Nataly Sopacuaperu, Unibet’s Head of Events, said: “The last Unibet Open online in October was a huge success. Many thanks to all those who took part and we look forward to seeing you at the virtual tables for the last Unibet Open of 2020. We also hope to see many of you for free-to-enter Unibet Open quiz night.”
