Live Updates: Amusement and Other Headlines by GipsyTeam
In the final weeks of the previous month, poker players Sergey Rybachenko, Ivan Demidov, and Ilya Gorodetsky embarked on a trip to Cyprus. The purpose? To scout the location of an upcoming poker series and tackle a few crucial issues head-on.
- When it comes to business in Turkey, contracts may not hold much weight compared to personal agreements. Yet, these poker pros made significant progress on both fronts, as reported by Sergey Rybachenko.
- Upon visiting the "Artemide" hotel under weather conditions similar to those expected in November, Ilya Gorodetsky can confidently suggest a trip to Cyprus during that time. The accommodating hotel staff, friendly negotiations, and general manager's ambition to break into the poker market left a positive impression, he said.
- Past series at "Artemide" took place during peak season, resulting in overcrowded conditions that affected service quality and meal times. However, Ivan Demidov and Ilya Gorodetsky were pleasantly surprised to experience improved service during their visit.
To further enhance player satisfaction, several key changes have been implemented for the upcoming series. Full meals will be organized twice a day in the gaming zone - a first for any series. A "Midnight Buffet" will also be available for players from midnight to 4 am, featuring more than just snacks, as emphasized by Sergey Rybachenko.
The poker pros and hotel staff inspected the accommodation facilities, with an increase in the number of rooms in the main building successfully negotiated, enabling the allocation of high-quality rooms to all Russian-speaking players, according to Demidov.
- The gaming hall will receive a fresh carpet and feature two stages at opposite ends - one for final tables and another for high-stakes cash games, with the option to organize a private room upon request.
- Upon return from their visit, Ivan Demidov commended the improvements made to the rooms in the main building, the clean grounds, and the beautiful sandy beach with clear water. All players' concerns have been addressed, addressing room shortages in the main building and food availability in the tournament zone.
- The hotel will replied within the next three days, as confirmed by Sergei Rybachenko, bringing his own tobacco, shishas, and other accessories to further elevate the player experience.
Extra precautions will be taken to ensure security and fair play at the "GipsyTeam Live" series. Cameras will be placed above all cash game tables and the tournament zone will be monitored, while special instructions will be given to managers and dealers.
The series will also boast a dedicated player's lounge, featuring several zones filled with pool, air hockey, televisions, darts, table football, table tennis, board games, chess, checkers, backgammon, and other entertainment options. The lounge will house a 24/7 bar, serving free drinks to relax and unwind.
Yunus Tuguz, with his extensive experience in the tourism industry and knowledge of Turkish, will handle accommodation and transfer arrangements for the "GipsyTeam Live" tournament. Players can expect a diverse range of activities and events in the relaxing room, with tournaments in darts, table tennis, and chess featuring renowned player Ilya Gorodetkiy.
The series will kick off in Malta with a party at Hugo's Pub, where details about the festivities can be gathered firsthand. To secure your spot at the festival, reach out to Roman "Paks13".
