Will You Become partypoker’s Legend of the Week?

partypoker Legend of the Week

The Daily Legends tournaments at partypoker have proven to be hugely popular thanks to their player-friendly formats. partypoker has slashed the late registration period, limited re-entries, and devised a structure that allows players to head to bed at a reasonable time without turning the tournament into a crap shoot.

Now is the time to try out some of those Daily Legends tournaments because partypoker has launched its Legend of the Week promotion that adds $60,000 worth of value to its Daily Legends schedule every week.

Legend of the Week sees you earn points for playing in selected Daily Legends tournaments from Monday through Saturday. Points are awarded for playing the eligible tournaments, but you earn far more by reaching a final table or by going all the way and becoming a Daily Legends champion.

How Things Stand

After two hours, here's how things stand with the partypoker Sunday LIVE updates right here on PokerNews

  • Billy Irvine is back in the lead of The High Roller Big Game. There are currently 39/65 players remaining and late registration is open for another 30 minutes.
  • Brazil's Matheus Almeida is the runaway chip leader in The Big Game. He's almost two million chips clear of Josip Simunic in second place. There's also 30 minutes of late registration left in this one.
  • The $10,300 Super High Roller has kicked off with 12 players. Late registration is open for another four hours so there's plenty of time for the field to grow in that one.

There have been two $25k Super High Rollers as part of the Powerfest schedule.

Christoph Vogelsang, who currently sits behind only Fedor Holz on the German all-time money list, took down the Powerfest #19: $25,500 Super High Roller for just shy of $500,000.

Meanwhile Joakim Andersson triumphed just one week ago in another SHR at a final table featuring big names such as Ole Schemion and Andras Nemeth. Andersson came out on top after battling against the aggressive Markus Leikkoner who would have to settle for second place.
