Full Tilt Poker has announced the Montreal Festival, an all-new live poker event in the Kahnawake territory. Seventeen mostly low buy-in events are scheduled, starting on September 21st and spread over 12 days. A variety of No Limit and Pot Limit events will be available, including freeze-outs, re-buys and deep stack turbos. Buy ins outside the main event range from $60 to $220 Canadian.

There is also a novelty “win the button” event for $70 + $10 where, as the name suggests, the winner of the previous hand gets the button at the next. The blinds rotate as normal. The tournament was popularized with PokerStars’ European Poker Tour events in 2012. The EPT is the richest and most popular poker tour in Europe, and was created in 2004 by PokerStars. Over the course of its history, it has seen stops held in some of the most spectacular European destinations, such as Monte Carlo, London, Berlin, Barcelona and more.

The Montreal Festival is the third Full Tilt-branded live event the poker room has announced since it was relaunched by PokerStars in late 2012. The Galway Poker Festival, which gets underway next week, is billed as the largest poker event ever held in Europe, with 60 events crammed into 16 days. The main event is a CAD $1100 re-buy event, with three day 1’s. It guarantees a prize pool of at least CAD $1 million.
