European Masters of Poker (EMOP)
In 2009 a new live tournament series will begin aimed towards non-professional poker players. While other poker tournaments increase their buy-in so that the cost of entering a tournament is equivalent to buying a small car, the European Masters of Poker is a live poker tournament series that focuses on the thrill of competing against fellow poker players and socialize with old and new friends.With a buy-in of 1000+100 on each stop, the European Masters of Poker is easy to qualify for and has a relatively cheap direct buy-in. The estimated starting field of 200-400 participants offers you a good chance of taking home the first prize consisting of over 80,000 and an EMOP trophy.
European Masters of Poker also arranges an overall leaderboard where players can win additional prizes beside the regular prize pool. 5% is taken from each tournaments prize pool and is placed in the leaderboard prize pool. The top 15 overall players will receive cash prizes after the first 5 tournaments. The estimated first prize is 25,000. In addition to this, the winner will receive a watch worth 10,000.
