Germany is the next stop for the European Poker Tour, where the city of Dortmund hosts the German Open from March 8-11. This �5,000 event will be held at the Casino Hohensyburg, and you can qualify for this event right here at UltimateBet.
Starting on February 4th, UB will host a rebuy satellite for Dortmund every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon at 3pm ET. The buy-in is $100+9 and, again, this is a rebuy event. Those who win the package will recieve the $5,000 entry fee as well as $2,100 for travel and accomodations.
Browsing through the info for the poker tournament I came across a brief description of the city of Dortmund, which is known as the "Green Metropolis" of Westphalia because of it's spacious parks and woodlands. However, this is the part that stuck out:
"But Dortmund is perhaps best known for its beer, a pale pilsner lager first brewed by Dortmunder Union in 1873. Its popularity with workers was responsible for Dortmunder Union becoming Germany's largest brewery - and Dortmund having the highest concentration of breweries in the country. At one point, Dortmund was second only to Milwaukee for its breweries."
In case one needed more incentive to visit.
