If you have a strong desire to take part in a small, low-cost poker holiday (with no fees*), it's time to look to Online. Sunday, September 1, the GGPoker network will host the Online Day of the Main Event.
The Online Day is a full-fledged Main Event starting flight, only played from the comfort of your own home. At the start, all online players will receive the same amount of chips (40,000) as those playing live at Eclipse Casino. Each level lasts 15 minutes and starts with 200 BB.
Online play will continue until ITM, after which all survivors will be invited to the Eclipse Casino Batumi tournament room at 1 pm on September 15th to continue with their stacks on Day 2 of the EAPT Batumi Main Event. If you'll make it to the second day-you are already in the money..
The buy-in for the EAPT Georgia online day will be $500 and is scheduled to begin at 18:05 CET.
Three hours before the start of the online day, a $55 satellite will begin with a minimum of five $500 tickets GTD, which in turn can be entered via $5.50 steps on August 31 in the evening (3:05pm, 5:05pm and 7:05pm CET) and September 1 in the afternoon (9:05am, 11:05am and 1:05pm CET).
How to find satellites:
Open any GGPoker client, type "eapt" in the search bar and don't forget to uncheck "Hide satellites" if you have it checked.
You can ask your questions about EAPT Georgia online satellites in the Live Chat on our website (button at the bottom right of the screen).
*At EAPT Georgia, players do not pay any fees to the organizers (the entire buy-in goes to the prize pool), but they do pay a 15% state tax.
The second season of the EAPT kicked off in May with a stop in the United Kingdom and will continue in September with a stop in Georgia. The EA Poker Tour will make its first visit to Georgia's premier resort city, Batumi, a city with over two thousand years of history. The EAPT Georgia Series will take place at the Eclipse Casino from September 7-15, with more than $350,000 up for grabs in 15 cup tournaments and several packages to the season's big finale on Cyprus next May.
The buy-ins for the Georgia series remain the same as usual: ~$100 for the evening side events, ~$250 for the side majors, $500 for the main event and $1,000 for the high roller tournament. There are three main events to highlight:
• $250 EAPT Cup - September 7-9, $30,000 guaranteed. Classic " Cup" structure: 4 starting flights, each played to ITM. One second (a.k.a. final) day;
• $235 Luxon Pay Mystery Bounty - September 7-10, $30,000 Guarantee + Grand Final Package. It's going to be very similar to the Cup at first, with 4 starting flights. From the start of Day 2, the "magic" bounties will come into play and on the same day, the tournament participants will determine the winner. The champion will receive not only a cash prize, but also a $4,000* Luxon Pay Grand Final package and a May vacation to Cyprus next year.
• Main Event - September 12-15, $140,000 guarantee + 2 packages. The Main Event traditionally has the biggest guarantee. There are also 4 flyouts (played down to ITM) and a combined final day. Players who reach the heads-up will not only play for the title of the new EAPT champ, but will also be guaranteed a seat at the Luxon Pay Grand Final.
*Luxon Pay Grand Final package includes $2,200 EAPT GF Main Event buy-in + 7 nights in 5-star Merit Park Hotel + transfer from/to airport.
