It’s been a little over a year since the last live MTT series was hosted in Goa, and what better way to revive the dormant live MTT scene in the country than the return of the much-beloved BPT series, PokerBaazi`s marquee live tournament brand.
“At PokerBaazi Live, our aim is to create a complete poker experience for the Indian MTT player base. Well curated structures will give players the workout and great practice to compete at the international live events laced with the best hospitality players can expect on the Mandovi River at Casino Majestic Pride,” said Manish Adnani, Head of Operations at PokerBaazi LIVE, who will be presiding over his first BPT series.
“We are optimistic that BPT 3/22 edition will set the tone for the future of live MTT poker in the sub-continent, giving players just what they are looking for to satiate their appetites,” he added.
PokerBaazi had, in its last edition in January 2020, introduced the online-live hybrid concept of hosting the final table of the BPT Online events preceding the live festival. This time, final tables of the three National Poker Series online flagships, i.e., NPS Main Event, NPS Super Highroller, the NPS Golden Rush, will take place live at the casino, coinciding with the BPT events on the first three days of the schedule.
The upcoming series marks the fourth stop for the BPT, and the schedule closely resembles that of the January 2020 series. The only changes being the ₹25K MegaStack has been dropped this time, and minor changes have been made to buy-ins of the series-opener BPT Kickoff and the BPT PLO Turbo.
The easing of travel restrictions and the diminishing COVID-19 caseload in India has raised hopes of a capacity crowd at the upcoming series. The PokerBaazi LIVE team confirmed they will be setting up 30 poker tables.
Players will also have a good lineup of live satellites to choose from at the venue during the festival, offering affordable options to almost everyone to become a BPT champion.
Online satellites to the BPT go live on PokerBaazi starting February 26, with satellites and step satellites putting up great entry value to win seats for the festival.
