Dusk Till Dawn to Host Inaugural PP LIVE Series
The Dusk Till Dawn casino in Nottingham, United Kingdom, is running a poker festival with a difference from Dec. 9 through Dec. 16 called the PP LIVE Series.
Nine events are scheduled during the PP LIVE Series, with combined guaranteed prize pools of $360,000, including a $200,000 guaranteed Main Event. While poker festivals are nothing new, PP LIVE Series stands out from the crowd because players cannot use cash to buy into any of the events; they must use PP LIVE Dollars won online at partypoker.
All nine PP LIVE Series events are registration fee free, making them even better value. The Main Event only costs $200 worth of PP LIVE Dollars to enter yet features a prize pool guaranteed to be at least $200,000.
Two online Day 1s, held at partypoker, are available in the PP LIVE Series Main Event in addition to four live Day 1s held at Dusk Till Dawn.
Six of the eight side events have $10,000 guarantees despite only costing $50 worth of PP LIVE Dollars to enter, with two side events boasting of $50,000 guarantees; these bigger guaranteed tournaments cost $200 and $1,000 worth of PP LIVE Dollars to enter.
