Battle of Vikings October 17- The Hunt Continues!
Iceland is an incredible place, known for its stunning landscapes, rich culture, and unique natural phenomena. Located in the North Atlantic near the Arctic Circle, Iceland is often called the "Land of Fire and Ice" because it’s home to both glaciers and active volcanoes.
Operator: Coolbet
Martin "Franke" von Zweigberk, as we all know the owner of The Festival Series, and his adventurous (video)crew have set their sights on Iceland, determined to unearth the true Viking spirit that still resides in the land of fire and ice. Known for its rugged landscapes, ancient sagas, and fiercely independent people, Iceland has long been a stronghold of Viking heritage and mythology. Franke’s quest is not just to explore the poker tables, which he will do tonight, but to discover the descendants of these legendary warriors — the men and women whose boldness rivals that of their Viking forebears.
Online Qualifiers on Coolbet
Our next stop of The Festival Series will be held at one of the true hotspots of live poker in Europe, going by the name of Banco Casino. Last Thursday, players from Coolbet had the chance to compete for two guaranteed full packages for the next live event, from November 18 to 24 at the capital city of Slovakia, Bratislava. With a buy-in of just €20, it's epic to have 2x €1,600 packages guaranteed on the line. But that's not all, upcoming Thursday, October 17th, yet another qualifier will take place. So if you haven't had the chance to compete in the previous 'Battle of Vikings' event or any of the other qualifiers running on Coolbet, this is one of the tournaments which should be circled in your agendas!
The first online 'Battle of Vikings', the previous Thursday, attracted a lot of players. It resulted in 2x full packages going out, and a 3rd prize of over €1,100! One of the two lucky ones who managed to secure him/herself a package, was the good old Farmer Viking Franke himself. If a fish like him can manage to win a package, you surely are capable of doing so as well!
Note: The Battle of Vikings tournament is open to all markets where Coolbet is operating.
