We haven’t yet written about these guys. This is a new (yet very experienced) team, which specializes on cash festivals in Cyprus and Georgia. They’ve decided to enter a new high level and organize a full-scale mini-series - Artemis Turbo Poker Festival in Kaya Artemis Poker Club (Northern Cyprus). The guaranteed prizes are huge. For instance, main event champion will receive at least $25,000!
The team is called Innovative Management of Poker (I'M Poker) and consists of the people who worked in such series as WPT Nationals and Classic, WSOP Circuits and PartyPoker and PokerStars events. In particular, it is headed by GTLive tournament director Sergei Abrat.
They’ve hold five festivals during the latest six months in “Artemis” and gathered quite a crowd. The most important in their activity is the following:
- Emphasis on amateurs. Players from Israel, Turkey, Russia, Romania, Cyprus, Greece, Ukraine, India and other countries come to the festival and almost all of them do that as part of their vacation to entertain themselves. According to the organizers, they were able to create the atmosphere for the comfortable play for amateurs competing with each other.
- Specializing on cash festivals. Another important moment: cash tables receive as much attention as the tournaments. The stuff has huge experience organizing both.
