Lithuania's biggest live poker festival is back and this year's tournament battles will take place at the Vilnius Olympic Casino poker club from 09.23-10.03. The qualifiers for the festival have already started.

Betsafe Fisherman's Challenge 2021 - Changes

This year, the Fisherman's Challenge Festival regulations have changed slightly and Betsafe Fisherman's Challenge 2021 the minimum buy-in will be €250. Last year was the first year of the High-roller High Buy-in tournament, which exceeded the organisers' expectations. This year, the decision has been made to raise the minimum buy-in threshold to €1250, which only increases the chances of a record prize pool.

It is also important to mention that Fisherman's Challenge 2021 will be distinguished not only by the large number of participants and the potentially record-breaking prize fund, but also by the additional tournaments. If you have won a few tickets for the final round worth €250 in the qualifying tournaments, you will be able to take part in two side tournaments with buy-ins of €125. Fisherman's Challenge 2021 will also have a Ladies' Tournament, for which at least three tickets will be given away before the start of the tournament.
