Satellites to EPT Sochi are traditionally very popular among Russian-speaking players, as they give the opportunity to travel to Krasnaya Polyana completely (or almost) for free. So this time, the qualifying tournament grid for EPT Sochi-2021, which will be held from March 19 to March 28, 2021, starts with freerolls.
The full path to qualify for the European Poker Tour looks like this:
| Freeroll (rebuy for $0,11) → | $2,20 1/4 Final → | $11 or $22 1/2 Final → | $215 Sunday Final |
| (3 min levels) | (2 or 3 seat to semi-final gtd.) | (1 or 2 seats to Final gtd) | 1 EPT Sochi Package gtd. |
You can find satellites in the PokerStars client: Events – Live – EPT Sochi.
Free ways to qualify for EPT Sochi:
The first one is fast Spin-and-Go tournaments. In the “Tools” section, find the “Star Code” item and enter the bonus code EPTINSOCHI in the field.
