Partypoker promise $20m GTD PowerFest; San Remo host MILLIONS qualifiers

The online poker giant partypoker has announced plans to host a $20m Guaranteed Powerfest online festival, and the Casino San Remo gets involved in the MILLIONS action.

With John Duthie currently unsettling poker tour buses from Panama to Poland, you may have forgotten that partypoker operate an online poker room.

Partypoker promise $20m GTD PowerFest; San Remo host MILLIONS qualifiersAs a reminder, the one-time king of the jungle has released details of their largest online festival to date – the $20m Guaranteed partypoker Powerfest, making it the second time this year that partypoker have hosted historical Powerfest events.

The schedule includes over 300 games, over the course of 15 days, with buy-ins ranging from $5.50 to $25,500.  If partypoker continue to put the emphasis on these huge guarantees and make sure the events run as smooth as a shaven calf then maybe the discontented voices from the online tables at PokerStars might find a new home?

The biggest buy-in event is the $25,500 High Roller. It takes place on 17 May, and the $500 fees will go to charity with the winner nominating where that home may be. If the event attracts more than 100 entrants, partypoker will also add another $50,000 to the chosen charity of the winner. That should give the Raising for Effective Giving (REG) members plenty of reasons to get involved.

As with previous Powerfest events, there will be four tiers of play representing the four weight divisions in boxing. Here is the schedule of the Main Events of those four weight divisions, and they all take place Sunday 21 May:

$11 buy-in $50,000 Guaranteed

$55 buy-in $100,000 Guaranteed

$215 buy-in $1m Guaranteed

$1,050 buy-in $1m Guaranteed

Six other contests will carry a $1m Guarantee:

Sun, 7 May: $215 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em

Sun 14 May: $215 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em

$530 buy-in Final Phase NLHE

Tue 16 May: $25,500 buy-in Super High Roller

Sun 21 May: $5,200 buy-in High Roller

$530 buy-in Final Phase NLHE

We will bring you full schedule details when released.

You put your scrotum on the chopping block and host a £5,300 buy-in event and guarantee £6 million in prize money and £1 million to the winner. How do that wrinkly sack from being kicked down your throat by a mule having a firecracker shoved up its arse?

One of those card rooms is the Casino San Remo, Italy. A mainstay of the European Poker Tour (EPT) for many years. San Remo is a poker furnace and between April 6 – 14 the local team will be hosting a full roster of Phase 1, Day 1 and Day 2 events with all flights leading to Dusk till Dawn (DTD) in Nottingham for the shot at becoming a millionaire.
