Yes very big series, many tournament to play and you can try to play tournament you like, the format and the buyin that is something you want to play. Very good from party poker to have this series, players like it
These buy-ins are so out of my reach that I do not even think about it playing any of these to be honest but the ones closet to my bankroll kind of doesn't have good prizepools. Probably something 4 something.

Well, PartyPoker does provide some awsome events from time to time. If I actually had any time for it I would have loved to play some of the micro tournaments.
In any case, these tournaments will be very interesting to watch. Talk about lifechanging for whoever manages to win the $3 million GTD tournament! Imagine qualifying into that one for a low buy-in and then winning! That would be simply amazing.
In any case, good luck to all of those who will play in these!

The Powerfest series is getting bigger and better every year and Party Poker should be commended for this. I often play in a couple of the smaller events and will be doing so again this year
sixty million dollars is certainly a very impressive figure .... and of course many players will try their hand at this series of tournaments ... tournaments are very many and a lot of satellite tournaments through which you can get a place in a cool tournament ... an interesting offer

It is a huge amount of money to be given The good thing is that it has some low buy ins, so players can try for smaller tournaments and payouts. Not every one can afford 25k USD, to play a single tournament.

Yes of course like many people say in this thread i too agree that it is hard to many players to have such big buyins and to play mqny tournaments, but i also think that like one guy say that you caj poay satellite tournaments and if good luck to play in big tournaments

Even satellites can be a bad chore. You not only have to get the ticket for your desired tourney but make sure to finish ITM once you are there to make this worth it. Strict hobbyplayers rarely like challenges like these.

If the truth this partypoker site gives many good prizes ... the truth would have preferred to start there in poker than in the other one that I am currently playing since this one has more promotions and others

Not the first or the last time, that someone has managed to win big money, from a satellite to a big tournament. And if i remember correctly it was not too long ago that someone was the first prize, in a big tournament , getting a ticket for it from a satellite. Anything can happen...

There will be many players trying to get a ticket, through satellites, for a big tournament. But there are also some smaller one, like the one with the 3.3 USD buy in for the 15k USD prize. This must have many entries.

Very interesting the Party Poker series, the Powerfest, the good thing is that the tournaments are with tickets that can play a lot of perona with low banking, we hope to reach a big prize, those who play that have good luck.

A long time ago, I used to be a MTT only kinda player and I must say that with these tournaments and prizes, I'm sort of thinking about testing my luck at the tournament tables ones again. We'll have to wait and see if I get the time for any MTTs. I might just make some time for it.

this buy ins are just to big and thats why poker stars is much better with their series,because you have lot of small buy in tournaments or even its 20 or 50 $ buy in,you need small amount for satellites!its bad that they want just big players!

When it works well it is normal to raise the prizes with 50% as long as they are covered by the players entries. The success of these tournaments always will attract players. Now Party Poker it is in the ascension and i think in future that they will be able to reach number 1 of poker room for many years.

CALICUL my friend, I was infected with your and vaci38 disease!!! After month reading about your countries difficults for play in some poker´s room, some judges in Argentina are banned a lot of sites, including Partypoker, PokerStars and Net Bet what a sad news! If you was a regular player and have the software charged in your computer you can continue with it. But in my house, I erase NtBet for reinstall....and I losted my last $ 3,5 bankroll!!

It's incredible what is happening in Argentina with this restriction, because many players from your country play a lot in pokerstars and probably also in party poker. Both rooms are rich and have interesting tournaments. Poker players in Argentina have to protest, because they have closed these rooms that are in the top 3 places in the world. I think, if i'm not mistaken with 888poker forms top 3. I'm sorry for you, and i hope the situation is solved in few days or weeks and this rooms to be back in your country.
what a sad
