With the final World Poker Tour event of 2013 less than a week away players are packing their winter clothes and Christmas jumpers for the €3,300 bwin WPT Prague Main Event, 15th-21st December at Card Casino. The WPT Main Event gives players the option to register until the start of Day 2 with 3 re-entries opportunities. Pre-registration is open right now and can be booked here.
Well known pro’s already set include party poker ambassadors Kara Scott and Marvin Rettenmaier. WPT caught up with them in their preparation:
WPT: What is your favourite thing to do whilst in Prague?
Marvin Rettenmaier: Winning the WPT would be my favourite thing to do – but in case that shouldn’t work out I’ll settle for the Christmas market including lots of mulled wine!
Kara Scott: I love heading to the Christmas market to drink mulled wine while picking up last minute Christmas presents for people. I’m usually traveling so much right up to that point, that the holidays don’t quite feel ‘real’ until I see the lights and decorations in the square.
WPT: Are you ready for the Day 1 WPT Christmas Jumper Competition?
MR: I don’t own a Christmas Jumper yet, but I will be changing that very soon. That iPad Air is mine!
KS: Sadly, I haven’t had time to go and look for a suitably terrible Christmas jumper! However I will be purchasing one before Prague. Marvin will be beaten!
The inaugural Christmas Jumper Competition gives players the chance to win a newly released iPad air courtesy of bwin & WPT. To get your hands on the gift all players have to do is bring and wear their best festive jumper on Day 1a, b or c. The winner will be judged by the Royal Flush Girls and announced during the WPT Players Party on December 18th.
The bwin WPT Prague players party will be hosted on the 18th December at the famous Staropramen beer bar. Players will be treated to free flowing drinks and food plus fun filled activities including scalextric, table football, darts, limbo and Christmas giveaways.
Online satellites are available daily on bwin.com with a $6,100 prize package up for grabs including the $4,360 WPT Prague Main Event buy-in, $800 in cash for travel and spending money and $940 for accommodation.
WPT players are offered an exclusive rate at the sophisticated Andel’s Hotel from €99 a night within close proximity to Card Casino and the City Centre. To book your room now see here.
