The two biggest operators in the world of online poker are going head to head, both launching major tournament series’ at the same time, with partypoker’s guaranteeing $60 million in prizes across three weeks (2nd – 23rd September).
$60 Million Powerfest Series (2nd – 23rd September)
Powerfest has been around for some time as a series, with this next instalment being the ninth. Each year, partypoker pushes the boundaries in terms of what it can offer to players in terms of tournament variety and guaranteed prizes. This year, a record-breaking $60 million is guaranteed, which is a 50% increase on the previous instalment.
Events will run in triplicate with a low, medium and high buy in option, ensuring that players of all levels have a chance to get involved. This means that the total number of events stands at 670. At least fifteen of those events will guarantee $1 million.
