Pokerfest Returns to PartyPoker with Live and Online Tournaments
Pokerfest is once again almost back at PartyPoker! This time around, the poker festival features 90 exciting events with over $3 million in guaranteed prize pools.
What’s different during this edition is not only the bigger schedule, but also for the first time Pokerfest features both live and online tournaments.
The first ten events of Pokerfest take place at Dawn Till Dusk (DTD) in Nottingham, UK from August 29 to September 6. Two of the tournaments, the £330 buy-in Main Event that boasts a £300,000 guarantee and a £70 buy-in Mini Live Event with a £150,000 guarantee, uniquely allow you to play Day 1 online at PartyPoker starting with flights on August 2. This doesn’t mean you have to play Day 1 online, as you can also choose to play it live at DTD.
The online portion of the schedule kicks off the first of its 80 events on September 27 with a $10 buy-in $5,000 Guaranteed NLHE Freezeout. Unlike many other festivals, it isn’t unusual that Pokerfest features events with low and high buy-ins alike. Events on the schedule start at just $5 and go all the way up to $2,100.
The event many online poker players already have marked on their calendars is the $250 buy-in Main Event on October 11, the last day of the festival. The reason many players are looking forward to this tournament is its great structure, hopes of a soft field, and a sizable $300,000 guarantee.
As you might imagine, there will be plenty of opportunities to enter the Main Event and all of the other events on the schedule with a wide variety of online qualifiers and sub-qualifiers. Also, PartyPoker will allow you to buy Pokerfest packages with your PartyPoints, including the Total Package, which will give you a free pass to every single event on the schedule for 41,000 PartyPoints.
PartyPoker is also giving you the chance to win free tournament entries and qualifier tickets by completing missions that are set up just for Pokerfest.
