Partypoker releases POWERFEST schedule

 

Partypoker releases POWERFEST schedule as well as four great promotions

 

$35 million guaranteed in 330 events, 12 Championship events with over $13 million guaranteed & promotions worth more than $300,000

The biggest partypoker POWERFEST ever kicks off this Sunday with a record $35 million in guaranteed prize pools across three weeks of online action. The series runs Sunday, 3rdSeptember through to Sunday, 24th September. In addition, partypoker will be four headline promotions with over $300,000 in bonuses, plus a few once in a life time opportunities. 

There have been five POWERFEST festivals so far– and each one has been bigger than the last. This sixth edition features a staggering 330 events, including a record 12 Championship events, ten of which have guarantees of $1 million or more. partypoker is also hosting four great promotions during POWERFEST including the brand new Last Man Standing promotion rewarding players who cash on every Sunday of the series (full details below). The last POWERFEST in May had a $20 million guarantee but ended up accumulating over $27 million in prizepools.

With three different buy-in categories, and a ton of phased events and satellites, the September POWERFEST schedule is designed to appeal to poker players of all bankrolls:

In the low buy-in category, there are more than twenty $5.50 tournaments. In addition, they all carry guaranteed prize pools of at least $10,000, and several with guarantees of $20,000. The flagship Championship Event (POWERFEST #325) costs just $11 and comes with a whopping $50,000 guarantee. This includes a guaranteed $10,000 for the winner.

The high buy-in category features scores of No Limit Hold’em events with buy-ins of $109 and above. Many carry guaranteed prize pools of at least $100,000. The biggest event of all is the prestigious $25,500 Super High Roller which comes with a $3 million guarantee! It’s set to be one of the most exciting events of the year. Part of the last POWERFEST in May, the Super High Roller attracted 129 entries and generated a guarantee-busting $3,225,000 prize pool. “juanpardo99” took it down for $660,067 with partypoker Ambassadors Joao Simao and Sam Trickett both making the final table.

One brand new addition to this September’s series is the POWERFEST Ladies event. A huge number of women enjoy playing on partypoker!  So it seems likely the $109 buy-in event on 24th September will smash the $10,000 guarantee.

POWERFEST Promotions

POWERFEST leaderboards are running throughout the series – one for each of the three Low, Medium and High buy-in categories – and will be updated every week. A total of 150 prizes are guaranteed. These range from semi-final tickets worth $109 – for the top five players on the Low Leaderboard – up to $10,000 packages for November’s prestigious $10,000,000 million guaranteed Caribbean Poker Party in Punta Cana. The top five players on the High Leaderboard receive this prize. Players earn Leaderboard points every single time they finish in the money in any event. In addition, they will be eligible in any category they compete in. A handy Leaderboard Calculator makes it easy for players to work out the points they’ve earned for any given cash.

Four great promotions will provide an additional $300,000 in prizes, as well as the chance to become the next partypoker Online Pro.

The POWERFEST Tournament of Champions will see all the winners of the 330 events on the schedule compete against each other in a fantastic $20,000 freeroll at the end of the series. Up for grabs is the title of partypoker Online Pro along with a top prize worth $10,000 in Power Series tickets, including free entries to The Title Fight and The Main Event. The remaining $10K in the prize pool will be paid out as per the payout structure in the partypoker client. The POWERFEST Tournament of Champions takes place on 1st October at 21:00 BST (22:00 CEST).

The POWERFEST Last Chance Tourney is a fantastic freeroll. It is open to any player who has competed regularly but failed to cash. Players can compete for $10,000 in prizes if they have taken part in five POWERFEST tourneys or more but haven’t managed to make the money. With a top prize of $2,500 – and paying out to the top 100 finishers, the Last Chance Tourney is being held on 1st October, at 21:00 BST (22:00 CEST).

Last Man Standing is a brand new promotion to reward consistently good performances during the Series. With a $10,000 partypoker LIVE package for the winner, plus an additional prize pool of $10,000, the Last Man Standing freeroll is open to all players who cash every singleSunday of POWERFEST: 3rd September, 10th September, 17th September and the final Sundayon 24th September). Any POWERFEST tournament will do – just make sure you cash on aSunday! The freeroll will take place on Wednesday, 27th September 2017.

PartyPoker is excited for POWERFEST!

partypoker Managing Director Tom Waters said: “Now that the full POWERFEST schedule has been released, we are hoping all our players will be as excited as we are about this September’s series. We’re laying on more events than ever, providing more ways to win, and offering a vastly increased $35,000,000 in guaranteed prize money. We’ve also increased the number of promotions we’re running; in fact, we’re even giving players who don’t cash the chance to win something in our Last Chance Tourney. Other great promotions offer the chance to become the latest partypoker Online Pro and compete for great prizes. This includes a package for the Caribbean Poker Party in November.”

partypoker ambassador Patrick Leonard said: “I really love Powerfest! It’s such a great series and this schedule is definitely the best yet. Overall, there’s a great balance on the schedule, and plenty to whet players’ appetites. Top pros will have the chance to buy in direct to the biggest tournaments. They will battle it out in $1 million guarantee Championship Events. Furthermore, there’s lots on the schedule for recreational players. They will get to compete for huge prizes, but at a buy-in they feel comfortable with. There’s also the first POWERFEST Ladies Event and I’m looking forward to railing that one; partypoker has such a strong community of female players. I know they’ll be excited for the chance to compete against each other for such a big prize pool. I can’t wait for POWERFEST to start next Sunday and wish all our players tons of luck.”

Partypoker heads back to Vienna with €500,000

 

partypoker heads back to Vienna with €500,000 guarantee Grand Prix Austria, 29th September- 9th October

Partypoker is heading back to Vienna next month for a second edition of Grand Prix Austria. One of the most spectacular poker destinations in Europe.

The €500,000 guaranteed partypoker Grand Prix Austria takes place at Montesino Poker from 29th September to 9th October. Players choose from a host of online or live Day 1s – as well as exclusive online feeder satellites starting next Monday (28th August) from as little as $1.10.

The debut Grand Prix Austria took place in April and was a massive success. There were more than 2,500 entries for the €200+€25 buy-in event generating a €518,000 prize pool – easily beating the event’s €500k guarantee. Slovakia’s Andrej Desset took it down for €92,000. Additionally, he made history a few weeks later when he won Grand Prix Germany in Rozvadov for an additional €100,000.

Among the 344 players who made money in Vienna were European stars such as Sebastian Pauli, Konstantinos Nanos and Christophe Gross.  Additionally, partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri who finished 34th for €1,800 and Jan-Peter Jachtmann who was 227th for €400.

PartyPoker is looking forward to building on previous success

 

For the return visit in September, partypoker is again putting up a €500,000 guarantee.  Furthermore, we are hoping to beat April’s sensational turnout. Among those set to compete in Vienna are partypoker sponsored pros Marcel Luske, Natalia Breviglieri and Jan-Peter Jachtmann.

Once again, partypoker is running its popular Golden Chip Promo. The first 100 players to make Day 2 will receive a Golden Chip. If a Golden Chip player manages to make the Final Table, they win a $10k package to the Caribbean Poker Party in November.

Feeder satellites will kick off from next Monday, making it possible to qualify for Grand Prix Austria from as little as $1.10. The first online Day 1 is on partypoker on 3rd September, and costs just $120+$15 to enter. There will also be numerous live Day 1s around Austria, starting Friday 29th September and taking place at Montesino Poker.  In addition to eight partner casinos including Bregenz, Innsbruck and Salzburg.

The fantastic Grand Prix Austria structure gives players a 50,000 starting stack with all players making Day 2 guaranteed a min cash of €250. For those short on time, a series of turbo and hyper turbo Day 1 events will also be available. These are taking place both online on partypoker, and live at Montesino Poker and Concord Card Casino Simmering in Vienna.

The online Day 2 is on Saturday 7th October, with live Day 2s in Vienna on 8th October. The live final Day 3 is on 9th October at Montesino Poker.  Consequently, we will see the blind levels increase to 60 minutes.

Beautiful Cities bring more excitement for the upcoming tournament

 

The Montesino is one of Europe’s premier poker rooms with a long history of running major live poker events. There are more than 40 tables available for both tournaments and cash games. More so, they have restaurants, and sports bar with a fantastic terrace affording panoramic views across the city.

Vienna is a beautiful city located on the banks of the famous Danube river. Once home to Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Johann Strauss, the city is often described as the cultural capital of Europe. It’s easily accessible by plane or train, and the wealth of cafes, bars and restaurants make it a perfect destination for poker players.

Sponsored pro Marcel Luske said: “I am really looking forward to a return visit to Vienna. It’s such a wonderful city with great bars and restaurants, and simply stunning architecture. The Montesino Poker card room is one of the best in Europe: super friendly and knowledgeable staff – and very professional dealers. This is going to be a great event for poker players from all over the world.”

partypoker LIVE President John Duthie said: “We are really thrilled to be heading back to Vienna next month. The last event was such a huge success and we expect even more players to compete in this second edition. Personally, I love Vienna – I have been coming here to play poker for more years than I care to mention and it’s always a great atmosphere. It’s also an incredibly easy city to get to, which is a major plus for poker players of all kinds.”

Full details of the Grand Prix Austria schedule and structure will be available soon at https://www.partypoker.com/live/events/grand-prix-austria-october.html

Finally, among those set to compete at WSOP Brazil is partypoker Ambassador Joao Simao. The 28-year-old hails from Belo Horizonte, the state capital of Minas Gerais in Brazil.

As a partypoker Ambassador, I look forward to welcoming hundreds of partypoker players to my country to compete against the best players in Brazil. You will be taking part in one of the world’s biggest poker tournaments and are all going to have a great time!”

Partypoker excited for the opportunity to expand to Brazil

partypoker LIVE President John Duthie said: “We are absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to partner the World Series of Poker for the first time.  Especially in a country like Brazil where poker has such a huge and enthusiastic following. Hence, no one should miss the chance to compete here – the atmosphere at poker tournaments in Brazil is just incredible.

“Brazilians absolutely love poker and have no hesitation in showing it; anyone who has seen them railing one of their fellow countrymen will know what I mean! For partypoker to be going to Brazil for the first time with an event as prestigious as the World Series of Poker is just fantastic. We are all really looking forward to it and delighted we are able to give partypoker players the chance to join us.”
