Los Angeles, CA (November 19, 2015) – After massive turnouts in Seasons X and XI, where each WPT Prague Main Event at King’s Casino attracted more than 550 entries and generated more than $4.5 million in combined prize pools, the World Poker Tour® proudly returns to the Czech capital for an eight-day festival of poker from November 29 – December 6. The festival is headlined by the €3,300 buy-in partypoker WPT Prague Main Event, which features two starting flights and Day 2 entry. Players are allowed a maximum of five entries, and if they bag chips at the end of both starting flights, they can take their best stack forward.

The festival also includes a €10,000 buy-in High Roller, a €550 buy-in warm-up event, a €550 buy-in eight-max event, and much more. The final table of both the partypoker WPT Prague Main Event and the €10,000 buy-in High Roller will be live-streamed. A full schedule of events can be found below, or at WPT.com.

partypoker WPT Prague participants are welcomed to kick back at the five-star Corinthia Hotel Prague, which is conveniently located near a tube station fewer than five minutes from the city centre. Corinthia Hotel features extensive leisure and business traveller facilities, including the award-winning Apollo Day Spa, a 26th-floor pool with spectacular views of Prague’s wondrous castles, and delectable cafes and restaurants.

King’s Casino will provide one night free on December 1 at Corinthia Hotel for players who play on Day 1A of the partypoker WPT Montreal Main Event. Interested players can contact [email protected] and must receive confirmation before 11:59 pm CET on Sunday, November 29, 2015.

In addition, King’s Casino Prague offers free parking for players, and boasts a massive cash game room with luxurious leather chairs, refreshments, and high-stakes action. Outside of the poker room, players can discover Prague’s spectacular holiday treats in the famed city market, including world-renowned mulled wine and Czech pastries. All players are welcomed to enjoy free drinks at a karaoke party at Blue Note Bar, located on the ground floor of Corinthia Hotel, beginning at 11 pm on Thursday, December 3.

“I am proud to welcome back the WPT Main Tour to King’s Casino for the 2015 Prague Poker Festival,” said King’s Casino owner Leon Tsoukernik. “The festival begins with the very prestigious and anticipated Main Event, and we look forward to crowning the newest WPT Champion.”

WPT Europe General Manager Hermance Blum adds, “Our European players consider Prague as one of their favorite stops on the World Poker Tour, and we are thrilled to return to King’s Casino with a Main Tour event in Season XIV.
