and Russia, but so far there have only been a few attractive live tournaments,” explained

festival is to create the ultimate live poker experience similar to what players find at the most

the European Poker Tour’s Grand Final in Monte Carlo, combining a luxurious venue with the
best live poker in the Baltic’s.”
