In the latest issue of Inside Poker Business, the magazine has ranked the Unibet Open poker tour as the third best tour in the world, only just behind the two longest established tours – the EPT and the WPT – and ahead of the popular Asian Poker Tour and new NAPT.
The article in general looks at the growth of numerous poker tours, advocating the Unibet Open as a prime example of how a well-run tour can set itself on the map in an area that is becoming an increasingly crowded market. The magazine commented on the growth of the Unibet Open prize pools, from the $176,000 in Warsaw way back in 2007 to the latest event in London last year with its £409,500 ($659,265) which represents almost a four-fold increase.
Ewa Kwiatkowska, Head of Events at Unibet commented, “We have strived over the last three years to create an exceptional tournament, where there is a strong spirit and we consistently try to deliver an unforgettable experience to everyone who comes to a Unibet Open event. Our goal has always been to provide players with a tournament of the highest standards and to create a memorable and enjoyable experience. We try, at every event, to give each player not just a ‘poker tournament’ but an overall unforgettable ‘poker experience’. We are so happy to have created a fantastic sense of family occasion at every event and a real community amongst our players.”
With four brand new locations this year, the Unibet Open is showing no signs of slowing down into 2011. Remember, we also have six online events throughout the year as well, each €300+€20 with a €25,000 guaranteed prize pool!
Our first event starts in Malta on the 10th March. Hopefully we’ll see you there!
