PartyPoker Weekly: Czech Out the WPT Prague Satellites!
Welcome back to your weekly dose of all PartyPoker related matters. This week we bring you details on the World Poker Tour Prague satellites, let you know how you could be heading to WPT Copenhagen, who Tony G thinks is a robot and much more! Keep reading to discover what we have in store for you.
Head To The Czech Republic For WPT Prague
Last year, the Prague leg of the World Poker Tour broke the record for the best attended European-based WPT Main Event when 571 players bought in, creating a prize pool of €1,753,202 ($2,336,512). This year the tournament could be even bigger thanks to the festival of poker and mind games that will be taking place, which means the first-place prize could exceed the €450,000 ($599,720) that was awarded to Andrey Pateychuk last year, and you could be in with a chance of winning a WPT title if you qualify for WPT Prague on PartyPoker.
Satellite tournaments are already running in the PartyPoker lobby and they will continue to do so until Nov. 18. There are freerolls, rebuys and freezeouts that all feed into the weekly $300+$25 WPT Prague Satelllite where one package is guaranteed to be awarded.
Each $6,000 WPT Prague package consists of:
- $4,250 WPT Prague Main Event buy-in
- Six nights accommodation
- $800 spending money
Do not delay, start the ball rolling today and you could be jetting off to Prague in December for a shot at the WPT Prague crown!
Overused Poker Phrases
Last week our very own Donnie Peters wrote a fantastic article on the global PokerNews site that highlighted many areas that the game of poker seems to be wrong right now. One area discussed was how serious the game has become, especially in major events, so it is no surprise that PartyPoker tried to inject a little tongue-in-cheek humor into its blog.
"So sick," and eight other overused poker-related sayings highlight some of the poker phrases you will regularly hear at the felt, and although some of them are legitimate, the article is meant to be a bit of light-hearted poker humor, which is never a bad thing in our eyes!
Win A Share Of $1,000,000 This Autumn In The Autumn Million
Depending where in the world you are reading this from, summer will be all but over, but PartyPoker has the perfect cure for the post-summer blues, the Autumn Million tournament.
Following the success of the Summer Million, this $640 no-limit hold'em tournament will boast a massive $1,000,000 prize pool and should see some of the best online players in the business vying for what should be a first-place prize in excess of $200,000. What would you do with $200,000, especially with Christmas being on the horizon?
The Autumn Million kicks off at precisely 13:30 ET on Nov. 4 and you could be playing it for free! Every day, up to the start of the Autumn Million, there will be country specific freerolls that feed into a weekly Autumn Million where five seats are guaranteed to this spectacular $1,000,000 guaranteed event.
Should you not want to go down the freeroll route there are dozens of satellite tournaments available, with buy-ins starting from $2 and increasing all the way up to $172, meaning there will be a satellite tournament for you regardless of the size of your bankroll. With so many qualifying tournaments available there really is no excuse not to try and play in one of the biggest tournaments held on PartyPoker in 2012. Say goodbye to the summer and welcome in autumn with the PartyPoker Autumn Million.
Only One Week Left To Qualify For WPT Copenhagen
The World Poker Tour will be making its debut in historic Copenhagen from Nov. 12 through 17 and you could be there participating in the ground-breaking Main Event. Not only will you be surrounded by some of poker's biggest stars, you could be playing in the biggest tournament of your life for free!
Satellite tournaments to WPT Copenhagen are running in the PartyPoker lobby right now, but they will no longer be available after Oct. 28 so make sure you qualify this week or you will miss out. All of the WPT Copenhagen qualifiers feed into the weekly $375 WPT Copenhagen Satellite — which takes place Sunday at 14:50 ET — where one $7,000 package is guaranteed.
Each $7,000 WPT Copenhagen package consists of:
- $4,300 WPT Copenhagen main event buy-in
