- One month before the event, new partners are still joining and more seats have been added.
After a bigger than expected response from the Swedish and Finnish Poker community and new partners joining Pokerfinnkampen, Poker Icons has added an additional 40 seats to the main event.
“It is nice to see that the increased interest and awareness of the national poker battle between Sweden and Finland has led to more opportunities for players to qualify online to Pokerfinnkampen 2011 than in earlier years.” - Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk, PokerIcons.com
Pokerfinnkampen will be held on the weekend 28th to 30th of October at Reval Park Hotel & Casino in Tallinn, Estonia in the format of No Limit Texas Hold’em with a buy-in of 350€. As usual there are three competition categories; individual ranking, terminator achievement and country total points. Furthermore, like last year, there will be a Friday night’s “Pokerfinnkampen warm up” with a buy-in of 80€.
”I believe that Sweden will win this year. As far as I know some of the best poker players and actually a few of our bloggers will attend and make their best effort to show the Finns which Nordic country breeds the best players.” – Björn Gustafsson, PokerSkull.com
Registration to the tournament is now open and for players that arrange their own travel there is a special poker rate negotiated at Reval Park Hotel & Casino.
