The newly named ‘partypoker MILLIONS' has a massive £5,000,000 guarantee and will be hosted online and live across the UK and in international cardrooms, culminating in the final days at Dusk Till Dawn from 18th April 2017.
Online Day 1s start on partypoker from Tuesday 4th October 2016 where players can buy in for £500 + £50 and receive 100,000 chips. Live Day 1s at Dusk Till Dawn, UK cardrooms and international card rooms will be announced soon. Days 2A, B & C will be online at partypoker or live at Dusk Till Dawn with players either carrying their chips through from any Day 1 or buying in directly for £5,000 + £300 for 1,000,000 chips. The final days will gather players from around the globe at Dusk Till Dawn with a guarantee of £1,000,000 for the winner.
partypoker are kicking off MILLIONS with a special promotion - the first 100 players to make Day 2 will each receive a cash bonus of £550 for travel and expenses. There will also be a special edition of MILLIONS at the Caribbean Poker Party in November in Punta Cana, where two Day 1s and a Day 2 will be hosted at the end of the week with all players who make Day 3 receiving a cash bonus of $1,500. These bonuses are added value to players; funds are not deducted from the partypoker MILLIONS prizepool.
Group Head of partypoker Tom Waters said: "Not only can partypoker players win a share of £5,000,000, they will be able to qualify online from as little as $0.01. We continually look to challenge ourselves and add value for the players. The partypoker MILLIONS does just that, offering the global poker community the opportunity to become a millionaire!"
partypoker Ambassador Mike Sexton commented: "I am absolutely thrilled to host and bring back the partypoker MILLIONS in its original format with £1,000,000 guaranteed to the winner. This multi-venue, live and online event gives players the chance to qualify all over the world and win a share of the huge £5,000,000 guaranteed prizepool. This will be THE event of 2017 which I will not be missing and means a lot to me as this is how my partypoker journey started."
