PartyPoker Weekly: Win Your Way to the Austrian Leg of the World Poker Tour
Welcome to the latest instalment of the PartyPoker Weekly, your one-stop shop for all the latest PartyPoker news, views and promotions. Keep reading to discover what is happening in the world of PartyPoker.
Head to Austria Armed With a Free WPT Package!
The World Poker Tour (WPT) returns to Austria in February, and you could be jetting there armed with a Main Event package worth $6,500. Better yet, you could have won this package for free! Interested in learning how? Of course you are!
The WPT heads to the Montesino Casino between Feb. 19 and 24 when a bumper crowd is expected to turn out for the €3,500 Main Event. Last year, during Season 10, 396 entered the WPT Vienna main event, creating a prize pool of €1,267,200 ($1,688,002)! The lion's share of this gigantic prize pool was awarded to Denmark's Morten Christensen who walked away with €313,390. This time around, it could be you who returns home with a potentially life-changing sum of money.
Qualifiers for the WPT Austria main event are already in the PartyPoker lobby, and they will stay there until Feb. 03. That gives you a little over two weeks in which to bag yourself a $6,500 package, so do not delay.
The graphic below shows the route you can go down to try and win your seat for as little as possible. Do you think you could make it all the way to Vienna for free?
Each $6,500 package consists of:
- $4,600 WPT Vienna main event buy-in.
- Hotel accommodation for six nights.
- $750 spending money.
Good luck with your qualification quest!

The Contenders Promotion Yields Heavyweight Prizes
The Contenders promotion will see someone walk away with the lion's share of $12,000 and bragging rights over their peers. However, if you want to stand a chance of winning one of the bigger prizes you had better act now because this amazing promotion has to finish at the end of January.
The promotion revolves around six freerolls, which have prize pools ranging from $2,000 to an eye-watering $12,000. Gaining access to the freerolls is a simple task: earn the required number of points (as shown in the table below) and a seat to the following month's freeroll tournament will be awarded.

As you can see, by earning just one PartyPoint during the month, you will gain access to a $2,000 freeroll! Get your grind on and generate 1,000 PartyPoints at the poker tables, and you will be able to step into the ring of a $12,000 freeroll!
PartyPoints are awarded at a rate of two per $1 paid in rake or tournament fees.
The freerolls will take place on the second Saturday of the month, with the first set of freerolls running in February. Keep your guard up, roll with the punches, and good luck!
