On November 14, partypoker brought online poker and esports together in a unique way with "The BIG DEAL". 46 streamers showed up for the event that pitted the card players and gaming streamers against each other in a battle for $50,000. Joey Ingram and Maria Ho commentated the unique event that was ultimately won by German streamer Niklas 'NikkyMousee' Ehrenholz for $12,000.

Recently, partypoker pro Kristen Bicknell (@krissyb24poker) ran a Twitter-competition that offered a free seat in the $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event. The challenge was as follows:
I'm THRILLED to announce that @partypoker and I are going to reward someone with a $5,300 MILLIONS Main Event seat… https://t.co/GD9IiS09DY
— Kristen Bicknell (@krissyb24poker)
Mary Pudmoreff (@Gr8Bluff) took on the challenge and responded to Bicknell with a 57-second clip to try and convince the team. Pudmoreff is a psychologist from Edmonton, Alberta who provides mental care to first responders, doctors, and others that have been so deeply affected by the coronavirus.
At first glance, you might not notice anything out of the ordinary. Nothing to see here, right?
Wrong.
You see, there's something about Mary: her massive passion for poker.
Being a psychologist involves a lot of emotional stress at times. To relieve some of that pressure, at night, Pudmoreff morphs into a poker grinder ready to duke it out on the digital felt and relieve unsuspecting adversaries of their precious chips.
Check out Pudmoreff's entry below. Believe us when we say, it's not one you want to miss.
@krissyb24poker @partypoker What a great contest! Here is a bit more about me @krissyb24poker & @partypoker & why… https://t.co/q6QrH6y5cT
— Gr8Bluff (@Gr8Bluff)
Needless to say, Bicknell and partypoker were convinced. Pudmoreff won the contest and received a FREE $5,300 MILLIONS Online Main Event seat. We'll track Mary's progression throughout the tournament as she takes a swing at the $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool tonight.
And the winner is...!!! https://t.co/wkEiB9xngK

Hunting down partypoker “predators” earns you $22 tickets to the site’s Daily Legends tournament sporting the same name.
The $22 Predator is one of the most popular tournaments on the Daily Legends schedule. It runs Monday through Saturday at 5:05 p.m. GMT and features a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool.
That in itself is worth playing in the Predator, but the Predator Hunt promotion adds even more value. Up to 19 specially selected “predators” will frequent The Predator during the week and these 19 stars have an extra bounty on their heads in addition to the tournament’s bounty.

Is there a worse feeling than stone-bubbling a satellite to a big event? Matt Staples knows all about that dreadful feeling right now, as his attempt to enter the MILLIONS Main Event at a discount came up one place short. Check out the video of his elimination below.
Staples will try his hand at another $530 satellite. If that one comes up short as well, he'll be ponying up the full price of admission to play in the big one.
