partypoker ambassador Kristen Bicknell excitedly awaits the WPT500 this week as she has already locked up her seat from one of the daily Day 1s now running in the partypoker client.
She is patiently awaiting Day 2 that is scheduled on Monday, March 15.
WPT500 returns to partypoker this March
The WPT500 is a major festival from the World Poker tour running on the partypoker platform. Bicknell says this is thanks to the relationship the two brands have nurtured together over the past 12 months. The two brands have teamed up last year to make the WPT Online Series in May 2020 and the WPT World Online Championships in September 2020, and both campaigns were a smashing success.
"I think the relationship that WPT and partypoker has built is absolutely fantastic! I fully support both brands, as they are both leaders in the industry and put on well-run series that cater to every poker player out there."
WPT500 at partypoker
- March 7 to 23, 2021
- Two huge WPT500 events with a $530 buy-in and $1M GTD prize pool
- Super50 with a $55 buy-in and $250,000 prize pool
- Super50 Knockout with a $55 buy-in and $400,000 prize pool
- Multiple high roller tournaments
- Omaha, Omaha Knockout, Hyper and Turbo tournaments
- Two Mix-Max events
The festival has two Main Events with multiple Day 1s, offering players a slice of a $1M guarantee each time. Bicknell says she's looking forward to both, but she preferred the non-PKO event that took place this weekend, "PKO's are tons of fun and add a different element to the game, but I find that the typical vanilla events feel more like 'true' tournament poker to me."

Bicknell says she thinks the WPT500 is going to generate some "massive" prize pools.
"With so many day 1's, the WPT500 is huge! The prize pools are going to be massive. So far, it seems like we have a mix of famous high stakes pro and low stakes satellite winners, which I think brings the best excitement to the game. It's certainly an event not to miss! I look forward to hopefully making it deep and seeing who else does."
