PokerStars will hold the Baltic Festival of poker on 28 to 31 October in Estonia, and they are currently running satellite tourneys into the event.

The Weekly Finals give players the chance to win a prize package that covers the €1,100 buy-in to the Baltic Festival, five nights accommodation at the Swissôtel Tallinn, and $500 spending money. Every Saturday leading up to 20 October, PokerStars will hold the Weekly Final for a $215 buy-in, with 10 of these great prize packages up for grabs, and second chance tourneys for a $33 buy-in will be held on the Sunday immediately following the Weekly Finals, with another 5 prize packages to be won.

If $215 is too steep, even with the possibility of a second chance tournament, then players can also gain an entry into the Weekly Finals through a qualifier. The major qualifying tourneys are the $22 buy-in tournaments that run at 14:00 ET from Sunday to Friday, with 5 Weekly Finals seats to be won. Players from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia also have the option of entering daily freerolls and additional daily qualifying tournaments costing just $1.10.

With the Baltic Festival to be held at the end of October, players will want to act fast to win their prize package so they can make preparations to visit Talinn, Estonia. New PokerStars players are encouraged to try their hand at the qualifying tournaments, but they will need to create a real money account and make a deposit. As PokerStars offers a 100% bonus of up to $600 to new players, it’s always good value to open an account with them.
