Sviten 49 Online Qualifier: The Craziest €4.90 Shot You’ll Take Today
It's that time of the year where owner of The Festival Series, Martin 'Franke' von Zweigbergk comes up with insane ideas. You see it happening moreoften though, not just during the live events, but also in between the events. Online qualifiers are the key to live events, often compared to the first 'power meeting' among poker players. Today, a very cool online satellite will find place at the iPoker Network!
Operators: Betfred, Betsafe, Betsson, Champion Poker, Coolbet, Guts, Inbet, Nordicbet, Paf, Redstar.
So here’s the deal: today’s Sviten 49 Online Qualifier might be the most absurd value you’ll see in a long time. We’re talking about a €4.90 buy-in that could turn into a €1,600 Festival package, plus a €250 Sviten Special ticket, plus a 5% slice of Franke’s winnings at the Irish Open and APT Taipei. It’s wild. You could buy lunch for the same price, but have you ever seen a 'lunch' sending you to Rozvadov?

What is Sviten 49? And Why We Play Hold'em Today?
If you’ve never played Sviten 49, don’t sweat it, as we are playing Hold'em today, Sviten 49 is just the name of the tournament. Sviten 49 is a split-pot game: half Omaha High, half a funky draw-based scoring system. The best hand is 10-10-10-10-9, adding up to 49 points, hence the name. Sounds weird, like most Swedes are, but it’s pure adrenaline. Sviten 49, let alone Sviten Special, isn't available (yet) on the iPoker Network, hence we play Hold'em today.
More about Sviten 49. The game make its debut at The Festival Weekend Tallinn from July 1-5, and this online qualifier is mainly based on that, to celebrate that Sviten is becoming much more international!

What makes this qualifier special is how low-risk it is compared to the upside. You could just fire one bullet and hope for the best. Or you could go wild with rebuys and the €49 addon, stacking up chips like there’s no tomorrow. Either way, you’re playing for something big, and the field will be packed with players who love The Festival vibe.

Because sometimes, poker is about the grind, but sometimes, it’s about jumping in, having fun, and seeing just how far a €4.90 gamble can take you.
Good luck out there!
