Online Pokerfest At Party Poker
Brand New – A 2 Week Long Tournament Event At Party Poker Starts Oct 23rd With $3 Million In Guaranteed Prizes
We have lost a few online poker events recently, with the FTOPS and UBOC both casualties of dodgy poker sites and the US DoJ crackdown. I’m pleased to see Party Poker coming in with their own online poker tournament event. Not only to replace the ones we have lost, but because Party Poker have some of the softest tournaments online anyway – and these should be even softer.
There are a few different aspects of this new event to tell you about – first the setup, dates and schedule. Then the extra incentives which include jackpot prizes for cashing in more than one, and finally how to qualify for the higher buy-in events if your bankroll will not stretch that far. You can check out Party Poker for the full details via my links (using bonus code SNGPLANET for your welcome bonus!) at any time.
Party Poker Online Pokerfest – Setup, Dates And Schedule
This is a 2 week long event running Sunday 23rd October to Sunday 6th November. Each day sees several tournaments divided into 3 buy-in levels. Points tournaments are the lowest buyin, then $11 to $33 games in the middle – then the highlights include big guaranteed prize pool events with buyins $215+… running up to the finale with a $1 million guarantee on the last Sunday.
On second thoughts the schedule takes up around 2 screens! Instead of reproducing the whole thing I will show you the format below and link this to the Party Poker website – you will see the Pokerfest Online banner smack in the middle of the main page!
Party Poker Online Pokerfest – Extra Incentives
For me the soft tournaments are a great incentive on their own, however there are plenty of extras to keep this event even more entertaining. These include:
Leader Boards: Divided into the 3 levels there are leader boards based on finishing positions with some nice cash prizes. These pat 250 places for the points buy-in tournaments with a $5k prize pool, 500 places for the mid buy-in tournaments with a $30k prize pool, and 500 places for the high buy-in tournaments with a $65k prize pool. No extra prizes for spotting that this is a cool $100k extra being given away!
Jackpots: These are spot prizes for multiple wins. $20k for winning any 3 Pokerfest games, $10k for reaching the final table of any 10 games and $5k for cashing in any 10 games. With a total of 47 events to play in, I have a feeling that there will be a few people claiming these prizes by the end of the event.
Extras: Dollar side events are advertised as having a twist, we will have to wait and see what this is. In addition there is a prize draw (you get one ticket for each event entered) for iPads, Chips and other stuff from the Party Poker points store.
Party Pokerfest – Satellite Qualifiers
There are 6 bigger buy-in events with satellite qualifiers, each has a slightly different qualifiying structure – though the same idea runs throughout. You start with a $3 or less daily qualifier, then move on to a $11 to $33 (with or without rebuys) daily main event qualifier… these then get you a ticket to the big event. Note that the $640 and $1050 big events have one more level of satellite.
I like the sound of this event – head on over to Party Poker now and get yourself involved in some of the most profitable tournaments online! Remember bonus code SNGPLANET to claim your 100% matched welcome bonus!
