EAPT Georgia returns to Batumi with over $1,000,000 GTD

From Milan to Cyprus, from Rozvadov to Bucharest — the EAPT festival map is extensive, but the Batumi stop is truly special. The sunny Black Sea coast, Georgian cuisine and great value for money create the kind of vibe that keeps players coming back year after year.

Anyone who has already played an EAPT stop in Batumi will confirm: the professionalism of the EAPT team and Casino Eclipse makes the experience as comfortable as possible. Operations are run like clockwork, conditions for players are carefully thought through, and the staff is always ready to help with any organizational questions.

This time, ПОКЕРОК once again joins as a partner of the series, which means we can expect another packed poker room. At previous stops, the brand was represented with a bright promo zone, exclusive merch and a team of charming promo models who welcomed guests, posed for photos and hosted various activations.

The next EAPT Georgia stop will take place at the now‑familiar Casino Eclipse from April 2 to 11. Over nine festival days, the schedule features 34 events, including 23 tournaments and 11 satellites. In addition, players will have access to Phase tournaments for the key events of the series — a great way to get into major tournaments at a more affordable price.

Key events of the series:

•   EAPT Cup (April 2–4) – $400 buy‑in, $75,000 guaranteed.  

The festival opens with the EAPT Cup, featuring four starting flights and a structure that speeds up as the final day approaches, allowing players to choose the pace that suits them best.

 •   Luxon Pay Special Bounty (April 2–5) – $500 buy‑in, $80,000 guaranteed.  

A knockout event with four starting flights. All players who make it to Day 2 will receive a $1,000 bounty for every eliminated opponent.

 •   Eclipse Cup Bounty (April 6–7) – $750 buy‑in, $50,000 guaranteed.  

A two‑day bounty tournament supported by three $150 Phase events. Day 1 is played down to the money, and late registration is available through Level 12. Each knockout is worth $300.

 •   Main Event (April 7–11) – $1,250 buy‑in, $350,000 guaranteed.  

The flagship tournament of the festival comes with six starting flights: Day 1A (40‑minute levels), Day 1B (35 minutes), Day 1C (30 minutes), Day 1D (25 minutes) and Day 1E Last Chance Turbo (15 minutes), so every player can pick their preferred format. Late registration is open through Level 11. The schedule also includes two Phase events feeding into Day 1A and one Phase into Day 1C, all with a $250 buy‑in. Players will also be able to qualify for the Main Event via PokerOK online satellites. Sixteen percent of the field will advance to Day 2, and the tournament will play out over three days in total.

 •   Warm Up Super Bounty (April 6–8) – $600 buy‑in, $50,000 guaranteed.  

Two starting flights with the same structure and a final day. Late registration will remain open through the first two levels of Day 2. Each knockout is worth $400.

•   High Roller Progressive Bounty (April 10–11) – $1,500 buy‑in, $65,000 guaranteed.  

The highest buy‑in event of the series is scheduled for the closing days of the festival. Players can qualify via a $225 Phase. A deep structure (50,000 starting stack, 40–45 minute levels) and progressive knockout format promise plenty of action and room for post‑flop play.

•   Side events. As you may have noticed, many of the festival’s events use knockout formats, but the schedule also includes a variety of other disciplines: Pot‑Limit Omaha, Deep Stack, All‑in or Fold and more traditional formats.

•   Satellites. Throughout the series, players will be able to enter satellites and win seats into their favorite events at a reduced cost. Satellite buy‑ins range from $100 to $150. These events follow a “ticket per stack” model: once you accumulate a designated stack size, you win a seat. Under the new rules, each player can win no more than one ticket per satellite.

 •   Extra 5K for a tip. Keep an eye on the right‑hand column of the schedule. In some tournaments, players can receive an additional 5,000 chips on top of their starting stack in exchange for a tip of $15–$75. This option is only available at the moment of registration.
