Six Reasons Why the PokerNews Cup is the Best Tournament In Europe
The PokerNews Cup is celebrating its 11th birthday this year, and while we may be a little biased in our opinion of this great tournament, we believe that the PokerNews Cup is the best tournament in Europe. Bear with us while we give you six reasons why this is the case.
Firstly, there is a �255,000 guaranteed prize pool despite the fact the tournament only costs �250 to enter, or even less if you manage to win your way in via one of the satellites running at TonyBet Poker. Such a significant prize pool for an affordable buy-in attracts an eclectic mix of recreational and professional poker players alike, which leads to a fantastic atmosphere and gives you the opportunity to put your skills to the test.
If the PokerNews Cup Main Event doesn��t go to plan, you don��t have to head to the airport right away because there are 11 different tournaments to get your teeth into. Check out the table below:
