Betsafe Fisherman’s Challenge 2021 starts on 09-23

The largest live poker festival in Lithuania returns, and from 09.23 to 10.03 this year, tournament battles will take place at the Vilnius Olympic Casino poker club. Qualifiers for this festival have already begun.

Betsafe Fisherman's Challenge festival in 2020 had as many as 934 registrations. Although this year's selection period is shorter than last year, it is still expected that a similar number of participants will be sent to the tournament.

Betsafe Fisherman's Challenge 2021 – Changes

This year, the regulations of the Fisherman's Challenge festival have changed slightly and the Betsafe Fisherman's Challenge 2021 minimum buy-in will be €250. Last year, for the first time, a “High-roller” high buy-in tournament was held, which exceeded the organizers' expectations. This year, a decision was made to raise the minimum buy-in limit to €1250, which further increases the likelihood of a record prize pool.

It is also important to mention that the Fisherman's Challenge 2021 will stand out not only for its large number of participants, potentially record-breaking prize pool, but also for additional tournaments. If you won several €250 final stage tickets in the selection tournaments, you will be able to participate in two side tournaments with buy-ins of €125. Also, the Fisherman's Challenge 2021 will have a Ladies' tournament, with at least three tickets being given away just before the tournament starts.
