iPoker Network has announced the schedule of their third series this year: Summer Festival. In its 139 events with buy-ins ranging from €5 to €150, a minimum of €1,000,000 will be rewarded. As usual, there will be several missions with extra prizes (tickets for three freerolls with €4,000 added).

€1,000,000 GTD Summer Festival on iPoker Network

Features of the series

Last year only two tournament series took place on iPoker Network, and in 2022, by late May, players already enjoyed the same number of festivals, including the record-breaking €3M GTD Spring Festival. Let's not forget what Michael Bedulskis, Tournament & Promotions Manager at iPoker Network, told us a few months ago: "our players should be really excited about what the Network will have to offer in 2022."

We can count on two more events in summer and winter for the remaining seven months of the year.

From July 24 to August 8, 2022, RedStar Poker and Guts Poker, among others, will host the iPoker Sumer Festival guaranteeing €1,000,000 across 139 events.

The hosts considered the summer traffic decline, so the announced series has the following changes compared to the spring one:

Fewer tournaments — 157 in the schedule (some events are divided by buy-in levels)
The average buy-in has decreased by 20% to €34.6. The minimum entry remains the same (€5), but there won't be €1,000 tournaments this time. The maximum buy-in will be €150-€200 (8 events)
The average guarantee has halved to €6,369
For the first four days, only the flights of the most expensive multi-day events are available to players

Despite the almost two-fold decrease in the number of tournaments, there will be more Omaha events with guarantees from €2k to €3.5k than in Spring Festival — 23. Most tournaments have 8-max tables with re-buys (3-5 in total).

The full schedule of the Summer Festival is available here (MSK time is 1 hour ahead of CET time).

Multi-day tournaments and Main Events

There will be four such events in total. Two of them are called "Main Events," and flights to them are planned throughout the series:
