2020 Caribbean Poker Party

The Caribbean Poker Party (CPP) is one of the highlights of the live poker calendar but it too has fallen foul to the current unprecedented worldwide pandemic. partypoker has stepped in and is hosting the 2020 CPP Online, which runs from November 13 through November 24.

There are 10 action-packed events (15 tournaments) that have combined guaranteed prize pools in excess of $10 million. A cool $5 million of that princely sum stems from the eagerly anticipated Main Event.

The 2020 CPP Online Main Event has two Day 1s, the first of which kicks off on November 15. Each Day 1 costs $5,300 to enter and partypoker gives you 1 million chips when you enter. The blind structure is nothing short of amazing, with a 20-minute clock and blinds starting at 2,500/5,000/625a.

Play ends on Day 1 when the 18th level concludes. Anyone with chips in front of them at this stage progresses to Day 2 where the clock increases to 30-minutes for the first 10 levels before increasing to 40-minutes for the remainder of the tournament.

If the $5,300 CPP Main Event is out of your reach, there are two other Main Events with more affordable buy-ins waiting for you. The $530 Mini Main Event and the $55 Micro Main Event have the exact same structure, limited late registration, and a single re-entry like their $5,300 buy-in cousin, so you’re not missing out by playing the cheaper editions.

The $530 buy-in boasts of a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool while the $55 buy-in version has at least $150,000 in its prize pool.
