GSOP Live Bucharest
GSOP Live Bucharest is CANCELLED – We are very sorry.
Due to a sudden and unexpected change in Romanian regulation we are forced to cancel GSOP Live Bucharest.
We will reimburse all qualified players $2,300 for buy-in, hotel and hospitality. For your possible flight tickets, please try to get a refund from your Airline company. If you are unable to get a refund, please send us your ticket confirmation and ticket cancellation policy for possible reimbursement.
You can expect to be reimbursed early this week. The money will be deposited into your player account.
We are very sorry that you have missed out on this experience, and unfortunately we don’t have any substitute to offer you directly at this time. Once you have the money back in your account, it is yours to do with as you please.
Below is a FAQ with more information. If you have any other questions, please contact our customer support.
Again, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this causes you. We still hope to see you compete for a seat to the Grand Final in Seville – a place with much clearer legislation surrounding poker!

No.

What happens to the leaderboard?
The leaderboard stays as it is since GSOP Live Malta, meaning points leader Morten Mortensen won a ticket to the Grand Final. Congratulations!
