Betfair Poker Live offering Cork and Yalta Packages

By RTR Dennis

Betfair Yalta

Winning a live poker tournament package is thrilling on any level since it gives players an opportunity to compete for a chance to win huge prize pools in exotic destinations. Unfortunately, it seems like online poker rooms are pretty much all offering packages for the same tournaments, which can get a little stale.

This is where Betfair Poker sets themselves apart from the pack - they're offering prize packages for lots of the less mainstream live poker events. Of course, this isn’t to say that Betfair will be sending you to some 20-person tournament held behind your local bingo hall; all the prize pools are actually pretty hefty. Below is some info about Betfair Poker's prize package offers:
