The RUSSIAN POKER TOUR returns to Minsk!
Supported by the RPTBET online poker room! 120+ tickets and packages available in online satellites!
June 4-15, Minsk, Belarus – a major summer event
$900,000 in guaranteed prize money – 19 great tournaments
Four tournaments on the schedule – with $100,000+ guaranteed prizes
A new location and an extensive entertainment program for all guests!
Beautiful summer in Minsk, lots of great poker – the long-awaited RPT comeback!
So, have you missed it? We really have!

During our absence, we've received literally dozens (if not hundreds) of messages telling us you're missing RPT Minsk. Like you, we were eagerly awaiting the reopening of the Beijing Hotel and Opera Casino, which closed in January. But there's no news from them yet.

We've also seriously missed Minsk, so we've decided to launch the series in a new location. The series will take place in the 22 Hub casino and slot hall, which will be specially redesigned for the RPT and open on June 1st. The summer stage itself will run from June 4th to 15th, with a guaranteed prize pool of $900,000.

The June RPT series is always one of the most beloved and anticipated by players, because summer in Minsk means sun, warmth, a sea of ​​beautiful girls, dozens of cozy bars, cafes, and restaurants... It's literally the best time to relax, have a great time, enjoy the beauty of the city, and, at the same time, play some good poker with the RPT.

The tournament schedule is compact, but very packed. The "menu" includes nearly 20 exciting tournaments, which the vast majority of players will be able to participate in. Considering the fact that we haven't seen each other for almost six months, as well as the massive support in the form of online satellites on RPTBET and Pokerdom, excitement is guaranteed. All of our recent events held in Belarus have been incredibly successful, and the prize pools awarded have been significantly higher than the guaranteed ones, so in June we again expect to give away over $1,300,000 in prize money.

Of course, there's also a comprehensive entertainment program featuring beloved championships in bowling, karting, football, table tennis, Mafia, and more, as well as the traditional RPT Party and karaoke battle. Here's a quick rundown of all the action awaiting guests at the June RPT stage.

✅ A packed tournament schedule: 19 unique tournaments, including four with $100,000+ guaranteed prizes.
✅ Slightly increased buy-ins, but still affordable for most players, with large prize pools!
✅ 120+ tickets and accommodation packages will be up for grabs in online satellites
✅ Numerous live satellites and stages for the series' most expensive tournaments – only the lazy won't be able to qualify
✅ New Main Event format – all days are now played to the ITM (15%), and by Day 2, all participants are already in the money!
✅ The best lineups in the CIS, poker enthusiasts from all over the CIS and Europe.
✅ An extensive entertainment program for all RPT players and guests alongside the tournaments.
✅ All tournaments, with the exception of some stages and satellites, will be held in a 9-max format.
✅ Team and individual leaderboards – additional action alongside the tournament battles
✅ The RPT Gold Ring with diamonds – a unique award for the best player in the series!

Now let's take a closer look at what awaits us in Minsk from June 4th to 15th:
TOP 5 ПРИЧИН ПОЕХАТЬ НА RPT МИНСК
1️⃣ THE LONG-AWAITED RETURN OF THE RPT TO MINSK AND A NEW LOCATION
"When will the RPT return to Minsk?" — we've received dozens of such messages during our absence. We've both seriously missed each other, the beautiful capital of Belarus, and good poker, so anyone can immerse themselves in the poker festival atmosphere with us for 12 full days as early as early June.

Buy-ins for some key tournaments have increased by an average of 10-20%, but experience shows that this only increases interest in the tournaments. A prime example is the successful 2025 RPT Grand Final, which broke numerous records for both tournament entries and prize money. Half of all tournaments remain under $380, and many evening side events are under $300, meaning the June tournaments will remain accessible to most amateurs.

The series itself will take place at a new location for us – the 22 Hub Casino, located at 61 Surganova Street. Closer to the start of the series, the venue will be completely refurbished for RPT. The location is ideal, within walking distance of a large shopping center, various fast-food restaurants, and a large park.

2️⃣ BEAUTIFUL SUMMER MINSK and THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT
Poker, summer, sun... Summer Minsk can literally charm anyone: the wide avenues of the capital, lined with an incredible number of beautiful girls, the abundance of greenery that literally immerses the city. And those cozy summer verandas, numerous terraces, bars and cafes, the breathtaking Zybitskaya Street... the list goes on and on.

In addition to exciting tournaments with big prizes, we will traditionally prepare an extensive entertainment program for you, and the poker festival itself will once again stretch for 12 days.

We're planning to host RPT football, paintball, and karting championships for you, as well as our signature nightclub party and karaoke battle. Poker and entertainment are the perfect combination, perfected over more than 17 years of hosting poker series.

3️⃣ ACCESSIBLE TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE and TOP ROSTERS
The tournament schedule is slightly more compact than usual, but still no less action-packed. The bracket includes nearly two dozen unique cup tournaments, four of which have $100,000+ guarantees. The day before each major tournament, qualifying stages will be held, similar to the Main Event stages (20% of the total number of participants with their stacks advance to the Main Event). This will allow the maximum number of players to participate in the most expensive events of the series with minimal investment.

The Main Event will be held in a new format this time: all four entry days are played to the ITM (15%), and by Day 2, all participants are already in the money!

Pokerstyle Events series always boast a warm and friendly atmosphere. Entry fees remain affordable for most poker fans, while tournament prize pools are quite substantial. You can get a feel for the RPT atmosphere on the Russian Poker Tour's Instagram account by visiting the "Stories" section. There's plenty of interesting content there, much of it behind the scenes.

4️⃣ LOW EXPENSES
Minsk is among the most accessible cities in the world, with flights to Minsk from many CIS cities currently quite low. A roundtrip ticket from Moscow costs around $100, from St. Petersburg around $140, and the Lastochka express train is even cheaper.

Food prices are also quite low, with cafes and restaurants offering prices two to three times lower than in Moscow. Accommodation costs in Minsk are gradually rising, but not yet shocking. Luxurious hotels in the city center fit easily into affordable budgets, and special discounts for RPT players make accommodations even more affordable. A huge number of apartments from just $20 per night are an excellent choice for large groups, and taxis in Minsk are also quite inexpensive.

5️⃣ UNIQUE HOME-LIKE ATMOSPHERE OF THE RPT
For most of our players, a great poker experience and a break from routine is the primary goal of their trip. It's important to remember that about 20% of RPT players are beginners and amateurs; most participants come seeking new experiences and emotions, as well as simply having a great time.

Minsk is an incredibly cozy, clean, and welcoming city at any time of year, and Belarusians are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether relaxing in a cafe, strolling through the numerous shopping centers, or simply strolling along the capital's spacious avenues, you'll feel right at home here. We always strive to minimize expenses for RPT guests, making their experience as comfortable as possible. Therefore, despite the seriousness of the event, the series itself will always remain as relaxed, homely, and accessible to most poker fans.
TOP 5 ПРИЧИН ПОЕХАТЬ НА RPT МИНСК
РАСПИСАНИЕ ТУРНИРОВ. 05 - 14 февраля 2022 года
TOP 7 ТУРНИРОВ
1️⃣ RPT MAIN EVENT $180/$740. $250,000 guaranteed.
50,000 chips, 20/30/40/45 and 60-minute levels.

New Main Event format: all entry days are now played to the ITM (15%), and by Day 2, all participants are already in the money! You can enter the Main Event directly for $740, receiving a starting stack of 50,000 chips, or you can try to qualify for any of the Main Event entry days (at the player's discretion) for just $180 through three stages—Stages 1A, 1B, and 1C. Participants in these stages receive 10,000 chips at the start and play up to 20% of the total number of entries into that stage. In other words, every fifth player from each stage advances to the Main Event with the stack they built in that stage.

The Main Event winner typically receives over $60,000-$70,000. The optimal entry day is Day 1A, which is where most online satellite winners participate. Don't miss your chance to win Main Event tickets and packages in online satellites on RPTBET.

One of the RPT Main Event winners is Artem Matyushkin, who earned an impressive $70,000 in prize money last February!

2️⃣ BELARUS KNOCKOUT CHAMPIONSHIP PKO $180+$100. $100,000 guaranteed.
20,000 stacks, 20/25 and 30-minute levels.

A favorite of RPT players, this affordable event features progressive knockouts, a great structure, and a buy-in of just $280. ​​Please note that this event has four entry flights, and stacks are not cumulative! Each entry flight is played to 12% of the participants, all of whom automatically cash and play out the tournament on the final day.

This is the largest event on the RPT schedule, always attracting over 500 entries. As the final table approaches, the tournament becomes a race for big knockouts. Traditionally, dozens of tickets will be awarded in online satellites on RPTBET.

In December, a similar tournament attracted an impressive 671 entries and was won by Sergey Kulagin, who took home $21,130 in prize money.

3️⃣ GRAND CLASSIC KNOCKOUT BATTLE $230+$150. $100,000 guaranteed.
Stack size: 25,000, levels: 20/25/30 and 40 minutes.

This event has successfully undergone two series of testing and has firmly established itself in the tournament grid. You can hunt for juicy knockouts and win a hefty prize pool at the Grand Classic KO Battle. Four entry days, a truly large-scale event in a classic knockout format with a $380 buy-in and a fixed bounty of $150.

Just a couple of knockouts turns your participation into practically a freeroll, and the winner will take home a hefty five-figure prize pool.

In December, a similar tournament attracted 488 entries and was won by Andrey Mikulchik, who earned $14,725 in prize money.

4️⃣ HIGHROLLERS BATTLE BY POKERDOM $260/$1,100. $100,000 guaranteed.
75,000 stacks, 35- and 45-minute levels.

The classic High Roller tournament with a $1,100 buy-in and a $100,000 guarantee will be held again in June in partnership with PokerDom. The tournament is a two-day event, with four more levels available for late registration on the final day.

RPTBET and PokerDom will guarantee dozens of tickets in online satellites, and the satellite grid will traditionally begin with freerolls or free buy-ins. At the series itself, you can qualify for the High Roller via satellites, as well as through a stage with a buy-in of just $260 (one in five players qualify with a full stack).

RPT High Roller champions always take home substantial payouts. For example, in April, Vladislav Doroshkov won a hefty $56,000 in prize money.

5️⃣ HIGHROLLERS KNOCKOUT BATTLE PKO $260/$700+$400. $60,000 guaranteed.
75,000 chips, 30-minute levels.

The little brother of the High Roller tournament, with a $1,100 buy-in, progressive knockouts, and a hefty $400 starting bounty. This event has proven popular with players of previous series, so its inclusion on the schedule is more than logical. A large starting stack of 75,000 chips and smooth 30-minute levels ensure comfortable and measured play. The event will be played over two days, with late registration closing on the final day.

Huge knockouts only add excitement and action to the tournament. But what's most interesting is that this event will also offer stage entry with a buy-in of just $260 (every fifth participant with their stack will advance to the main tournament).

Last June, Yana Shcherbuk not only qualified for a similar tournament via satellite but also won it, earning $17,250 in prize money.

6️⃣ X EVENT CLASSIC KNOCKOUT $500+$300. $60,000 guaranteed.
50,000 stack, 30/25 minute levels.

The legendary X Event is also on the schedule. Another high-stakes knockout tournament with a classic fixed bounty of $300 for each player eliminated. A couple of knockouts, and you'll feel like you're playing a high-stakes freeroll.

In September, a similar event attracted 115 entries and was won by Mikhail Ketlerov, who took home $12,900 in prize money.

7️⃣ SUPERKNOCKOUT EVENT PKO $400+$200. $40,000 guaranteed.
30,000 stacks, 20/25 and 30-minute levels.

Despite the hefty buy-in, this is one of the most popular side events—the $600 Super Knockout in PKO format. The starting knockout for each player eliminated is $200 (half for you, half for your bounty), and the prize pool increases from there. As the final table approaches, the knockouts become huge, sometimes exceeding the top-1 finisher's total.

In December, a similar tournament proved quite popular, attracting 129 entries. The trophy went to Belarusian Igor Pelogeychik, who earned $14,450 in prize money.

8️⃣ MINI MAIN EVENT PKO $300+$150. $35,000 guaranteed.
25,000 stacks, 25/20 minute levels.

A mini version of the Main Event, primarily due to its smooth and measured structure. This tournament is held in a one-day format with progressive knockouts, and its champions, taking into account the number of knockouts, take home nice five-digit prize pools.

Salim Usmanov became the champion of one of the similar Mini Main Events. That tournament attracted 119 entries, and Salim earned $11,290 in prize money.
ОНЛАЙН САТЕЛЛИТЫ НА GROMPOKER
RPTBET is guaranteed to give away numerous tickets and packages to key tournaments in the series. In total, over 120 tickets and packages are planned for giveaways. Players will only need to work hard in online satellites before the series to simply enjoy the game in a relaxed atmosphere during the series itself.

Packages including a Main Event buy-in, hotel accommodations, and spending money will also be available. Each package includes a Main Event buy-in ($740), accommodations in a comfortable hotel for the duration of the tournament, and spending money.
ПРОЖИВАНИЕ. 05 - 14 февраля 2022 года
ГДЕ ЖИТЬ
The tournament venue will be the 22 Hub Casino, located at 61 Surganova Street. This is a new location for us, which will be completely refurbished for the RPT closer to the start of the series.

The location of the future gaming venue is quite convenient. One drawback is the lack of a hotel in the same building, but it has many obvious advantages: there's a karaoke bar on site, a teahouse, and a large Europa shopping center next to the casino. Unlike in Beijing, here, various Mak.by, KFC, and Burger King restaurants are within a 100-200 meter radius. And across the street is the large Druzhby Narodov Park, so snacks and rest breaks will definitely be a breeze.
ГДЕ ЖИТЬ
From Europe
Since April 15, 2022, a visa-free entry procedure to Belarus has been introduced for citizens of Latvia and Lithuania, and since July 1, 2022, also for citizens of Poland. Citizens of these countries have the right to visa-free entry to the territory of the Republic of Belarus an unlimited number of times. The number of days of stay in Belarus should not exceed 90 days in a calendar year.

ГДЕ ЖИТЬ
The top player of the June stage will traditionally receive a special and exclusive gift—a signature RPT gold ring adorned with diamonds! This diamond trophy is the symbol of the series and will be an excellent reward for the top performer.
ПРОЖИВАНИЕ. 05 - 14 февраля 2022 года
In addition to the classic series, a team ranking will also be held again. Anyone can form their own team of three players (fewer or more is not allowed, and being on two teams at the same time is also not allowed). A mandatory requirement: you must form a team and sign up before the start of the series on the RPT forum in Telegram, in the special "Team Ranking" thread.

There, you simply need to indicate the team name and the names of its participants. Points will be calculated according to our standard ranking grid; they will simply be summarized in the team ranking. The winning team will receive tickets to the Main Event of the next RPT stage!

The amount of points awarded depends on the total number of participants in the tournament and its cost, so the coefficients that will be applied to certain events are indicated at the bottom of the table.
