partypoker POWERFEST Starts Today; First Events Already Underway!
The $20 million guaranteed POWERFEST on partypoker kicks off today with a packed Sunday schedule of poker. There's something for everyone as the 15-day festival gets underway.
The festival runs from today until the 29th March, with buy-ins from as little as $0.55 and satellites galore to allow players to win big money for only a fraction of the cost of entry!
What Events Are On Today?
Today sees a whole host of POWERFEST events begin on the partypoker client. They include several Phase Finales including the $5,200 buy-in POWERFEST #04-SHR as well as two $2,100 Progressive Knockout tournaments in both No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha variants.
If your bankroll is not quite that high, then be sure to check out the Micro level, with $0.55 and $1.10 equivalents of some of the bigger buy-in events. In fact, most events have four tiers of buy-in from Super High Roller to Micro, meaning there's an event for everyone!
