For those of you trying to catch the last glimpse of summer the idea of going to Portugal and laze around at the beach surely sounds tempting, right? Well, let’s make one thing clear: While bwin will offer you the chance to earn your trip to Estoril, Portugal, sunbathing won’t be your main concern. For one thing it will be November (7th – 10th) and even the Portuguese beaches will not be crowded with half-naked people at that time of the year.
Also the reason for you to go there is to participate in one of Europe’s greatest live poker events as part of the bwin poker team. Estoril is home to Europe’s biggest casino and you will find out that this doesn’t only show in the magnitude of the event itself but also the amount of money that you play for. With a buy-in of $1,400+$100 you can count on not only a nice prize pool but also fierce competition.
No need to worry for you however. You don’t need to pay the buy-in, bwin will do that for you. They will also pay for your trip to Estoril as well as your accommodation for 5 nights. And on top of that you can use the remaining money of the $3,600 Estoril Live Poker Package as your personal spending money.
Another reason why you shouldn’t worry is that if you are able to compete at the Estoril Live Poker Event as member of bwin’s prestigious poker team you will have proven your worth by besting thousands of other players. See, bwin doesn’t simply give everyone a $3,600 package to go to Estoril as you may have imagined. They do offer you the opportunity to qualify for one of these packages however.
You may enter one of the 10 online finals for a buy-in of $300+20 and compete directly for your personal $3,600 poker package. Or you may choose to make use of one of the many qualifiers each day starting at as little as $2+0.20 and make your way to the finals. Whatever your choice is, make sure to keep an empty spot in your calendar for November 7 – 10 cause that’s when you will be playing in Estoril.
In an Estoril that will be too fresh for spending the night at the beach. But honestly, who cares?
