Sviten 49 Online Qualifier: Win a €1,600 Package to The Festival Rozvadov for Just €4.90
Remember the cool online qualifier for Franke's 'fake' 44-year birthday? Where the buy-in was €4,40 and you could do an add-on for €44? Well, we are going to repeat that in March! Say hello to 'The Festival Sviten 49' Qualifier!
Operators: Betfred, Betsafe, Betsson, Champion Poker, Coolbet, Guts, Inbet, Nordicbet, Paf, Redstar.
Sviten Special is going international as the tournament will be part of the Irish Poker Open, as well as the APT in Taipei. Add to that the birthday of Franke.... Wait, it's his birthday again?! Not a single (re-entry) chance!
To celebrate the fact that Sviten Special is becoming more known across the world, and because 'Sviten 49' is added to The Festival Weekend schedule, we have arranged an online qualifier tournament where you not only can win a package, but plenty of added value as well.
On Wednesday, March 25 at 19:00 CET, a special one-off online satellite will take place: Sviten 49. A low buy-in, high-action tournament where one small investment can turn into a full Festival experience.
What is 'Sviten 49'?
You might be wondering what Sviten 49 actually is. In simple terms, it’s a split-pot game where two separate hands determine the outcome: an Omaha High hand and a draw hand. Just like in the standard Sviten Special game.
The Omaha High side works as usual, following standard poker hand rankings. The twist comes with the draw hand. Instead of traditional poker hand rankings, each card carries a specific point value. The goal is to build the highest possible total.
The best possible draw hand is 10-10-10-10-9, which adds up to 49 points — hence the name Sviten 49. To put that into perspective, a hand like K-K-Q-Q-A scores significantly lower, even though it might look strong in regular poker terms. This actually counts only for 1 point, since Aces are worth 1, and J/Q/K 0 points.
In the next upcoming days, we will come with a full explanation of the game. So make sure to check our webpage for that!
