South Europe Prepares for September Poker Spree

European online poker players are gearing up for what’s likely to be an action-packed month.

Half a dozen online tournament series have been scheduled in the European segregated markets, turning their focus to the south of the continent.

The likes of Winamax, Pokerstars, partypoker and 888poker have all lined up a lineup which brings a number of highly-anticipated poker tournaments over the next couple of weeks for players in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.

The Knockout Series kicked it all off on 25 August with its week-long event spanning across 115 tournaments with a €1.25 million guarantee.

A week later, PokerStars and Winamax get set to roll out Galactic Series and Winamax Series, respectively. The two events come with a combined guarantee of a whopping €30 million!

Furthermore, PokerStars will take their Galactic Series to Italy as well, with €3 million in guaranteed prize money. This particular event starts on 8 September.

Ultimately, 888poker follows suit with its Super Series flagship brand.

The online gaming behemoth is set to unveil its Super Series brand which is hosted in Italy and in Southern European markets, including Spain and Portugal.

These particular series start on 12 September and runs over the next eleven days.

Winamax Series broke the ice in South Europe earlier this summer with €14 million guaranteed over a 12-day event which included three tournaments with seven-figure guarantees. As a result, the Wanamax Series became the largest tournament series this operator has ever held.
