€500,000 Guaranteed as Smart Poker Tour Returns to Bucharest

Earlier this year, the Smart Poker Tour (SPT ) made its first stop outside of Bulgaria and gathered its largest field thus far at the Gentlemen’s Poker Club in Bucharest, Romania. Everything went so well that the SPT is heading back to Bucharest in a month’s time. SPT #9 Bucharest will run from October 2-8 at Gentlemen’s Poker Club with even more guaranteed money up for grabs.
