There are lots of poker rooms running satellites for the GSOP Live Main Event including Betfair Poker. There will be lots of side events at the 2012 Prague Poker Festival plus a new feature called the “Prague Mind Sports Festival”. It’s actually separate from the actual poker festival, but will run in the same hotel from December 1st – December 4th 2012 and should be lots of fun.
The Prague Mind Sports Festival will feature games like Backgammon, Bridge, Scrabble and Risk with big guaranteed prize pools up for grabs. The events are inexpensive and if you used to play these games when you were younger it’ll be fun. There will also be an E-Sports schedule that features games like Counter Strike played at the festival.
