PartyPoker Weekly: $3 Million on Offer at the Inaugural Pokerfest

September 26, 2011

Josh Bell Contributor

PartyPoker really has everything to offer when it comes to a great online poker experience, including some of the best weekly tournaments around, fantastic ring games in several disciplines of poker, unrivaled customer service and software and some of the best bonus offers around. However, there has always been something missing from the PartyPoker experience and that is a championship tournament series. That is all about to change this coming October.

$3 Million Guaranteed at the PartyPoker Pokerfest

PartyPoker is set to become the new home of a "must-play" tournament series, with the inaugural PartyPoker Pokerfest 2011 kicking off in October.

The 47 championship events on offer throughout the two-week period will make for a huge $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and will be sure to get the grinders and the casual players alike behind their screens and frantically clicking their mouses in the hopes of finding poker glory.

Satellites have already begun with players able to qualify for many of the events from as little as $1. The opening event, and the first ever PartyPoker Pokerfest tournament, will take place on Oct. 23 and will feature a $300,000 guarantee for the $215 buy-in.

While the chance at becoming an online poker champion at the PartyPoker Pokerfest is an enticing prospect, if the live felt is more your style how about becoming a World Poker Tour champion?

Win Your Way to WPT Amneville

Don’t forget that satellites to the WPT Amneville are now running at PartyPoker.

The event will be held in the beautiful northern France location beginning Nov. 1 and there is no better place than PartyPoker to win a package worth $8,000 which includes the $5,000 buy-in to the WPT Amneville Main Event, $1,100 spending money, hotel accommodation and the famous PartyPoker hospitality.

Last year a massive 542 players crammed into the field of the WPT Amneville and at the end of the event it was Switzerland’s Sam El Sayed who took home the victory and the largest share of the €1,640,096 prize pool.

With so much on offer at PartyPoker, including the new PartyPoker Pokerfest and offering the best way to win a seat at WPT Amneville you would be excused of thinking that there is already reason enough to download PartyPoker. Think again.
