The Daily Legends tournaments at partypoker have proven to be hugely popular thanks to their player-friendly formats. partypoker has slashed the late registration period, limited re-entries, and devised a structure that allows players to head to bed at a reasonable time without turning the tournament into a crap shoot.

Now is the time to try out some of those Daily Legends tournaments because partypoker has launched its Legend of the Week promotion that adds $60,000 worth of value to its Daily Legends schedule every week.

Legend of the Week sees you earn points for playing in selected Daily Legends tournaments from Monday through Saturday. Points are awarded for playing the eligible tournaments, but you earn far more by reaching a final table or by going all the way and becoming a Daily Legends champion.

partypoker Tournament Dollars, Satellites With a Twist

partypoker Tournament Dollars

Satellite tournaments are extremely popular in the online poker world because they give players the opportunity to play in events they would not ordinarily be able to afford.

Tournament dollar satellites take these tournaments to the next level by giving players the ultimate flexibility. T$ satellites are available at partypoker.

Tournament dollar satellites play the same way as a traditional satellite but with one key difference. They pay out tournament dollars (T$), hence the name, instead of seats into specific tournaments and events.

This virtual currency gives you more flexibility when it comes to playing in higher stakes tournaments because you can spend them on multi-table tournament entries, to buy into Sit & Go tournaments, partypoker’s jackpot SPINS, and even the site’s online tour events. You can even use T$ to enter more satellites, including satellite dollar satellites!

Leonard Bubbles The Grand June 27

partypoker Ambassador Patrick Leonard has just bubbled The Grand with fellow team members Joao Simao and Jaime Staples not doing too great either after the bubble burst as they find themselves at the bottom of the counts.

Leonard was all-in with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} against the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} of Christian Rudolph with the board reading {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} when all the cards had been dealt.

But for Staples, it's the fourth week in a row for him to cash with his deepest run taking place last week when he finished in fourteenth place.
