MAKE A DREAM TRIP TO LAS VEGAS A REALITY WITH THE SUNBET POKER TOUR

Coming to a Sun International Casino near you.

The SunBet Poker Tour is the series that could change your life. Kicking off the second leg of its inaugural Poker Tour in Sun City on May 20-29, SunBet brings South African players from around the country a series with the highest guarantees ever seen and a chance to trot across the globe.

Whether you are a professional poker player or just starting, you have a seat at the table at the biggest poker tour in South Africa – the SunBet Poker Tour.

Registered poker players stand a chance to walk away with their share of a whopping R7.5million in guaranteed prize money plus an opportunity to earn points at every tournament and make their way to the top of the leaderboard. High-stakes action will see points being accumulated over the entire season. At the end of the season, the top 10 players will have played their way to Las Vegas for the world’s biggest and richest poker event – the World Series of Poker!

In partnership with The Hendon Mob and The Global Poker Index, the largest and most up-to-date player ranking globally, the SunBet Poker Tour leaderboard allows players an opportunity for additional winnings and fully paid for international travel. Ed Pastoll won the Main Event of the Guaranteed R2 Million first place at the first leg of the tour in Time Square Casino and is looking forward to earning his way to the Las Vegas Strip.

“Winning at the SunBet Poker Tournament in Time Square Casino was a thrilling experience, a moment in life that I will never forget! The World Series of Poker package would be a great addition to my winnings. I might have to come and defend my title,” expressed Ed Pastoll.

At the end of every Poker series, all tour results are sent to the Global Poker Index and placed into a special algorithm that considers the tournament buy-in, the number of entries at the event, as well as their cashed position and allocated points to each player that cashed at the event. At the end of the season, the top 10 players on the leaderboard will win a trip to the WSOP in Las Vegas.

Traveling to Vegas is the ultimate dream for any poker player. It is where South African Poker greats like Ray Rahme, Warren Zackey, Jared Solomon, and Johan De Graaff have taken their shot and come close to the ultimate victory. A once-in-a-lifetime chance for players to win millions of dollars and eternal glory, or perhaps become like Zackey, who, according to the Global Poker Index, has all-time winnings of $860,269 (R13 873 179,64) throughout his poker career.

Players can expect additional tour activities at the SunBet Poker Tour, including access to satellite poker rooms across the country, enabling them to qualify for the tour events through freerolls and satellite tournaments nationwide for a fraction of the price.

The SunBet Poker Tour promises world-class poker at Sun International resorts nationwide.
