Artur Voskanjan of organisers Poker Club Management said, “This is an amazing place – the best resort I’ve ever seen for a poker tournament. It has 24-hour food in the tournament area, gym, spa, and is right by the beach. We’ll have Russian models, fantastic entertainment, a rich spread of poker games and, above all, are not expecting many pros so it’s a great opportunity to play for a guaranteed prize pool in the main event against a beatable field!”
