UNIBET OPEN RIGA 2011

The Unibet Open 2011 heads to Riga for its grand finale December 1-4 – and that’s snow joke! The Latvian capital is known for its party possibilities and with Unibet coming to town, that’s not going to change as we head to the Baltic state for the first time, with snow and festivities guaranteed.

The tournament will be held at Riga’s glamorous Royal Casino in the heart of the city, but even if you’re unlucky enough to bust out early, there’s plenty to see and do in the area – the Freedom Monument, the vibrant Christmas Market and the National Opera House are all within easy walking distance. And if opera’s not your thing, we’re certain that you’ll find something more to your taste in one of the many bars and clubs that fill much of the Old Town…

With Christmas right around the corner, we’re giving our players an early gift – the tournament in Riga will have NO CAP on player numbers. Most of the Unibet Opens so far have sold out at just over 400 players, but this time we could be looking at our biggest ever prize pool.

So see your poker year out in style with a trip to the winter wonderland that is Riga as the Unibet Open 2011 season comes to a thrilling close.
