The partypoker MILLIONS Online festival has Event #26 High Roller on the schedule today with a buy-in of $10,300 and a whopping $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool at 7:05 p.m. GMT.
There are a few more satellites to get in at a cheaper price but one of them is already underway where at least 20 seats will be handed out. But hurry, as the registration period will close in approximately 18 minutes!
The World Poker Tour and partypoker have again joined forces to bring you the WPT500 festival. March 7 through March 23 are the dates the WPT500 festival takes place online at partypoker. There are 25 numbered events on the schedule, two of which boast $1 million guaranteed prize pools.
The first of these WPT tournaments with a seven-figure guarantee is the WPT500. It features nine starting flights, each costing $530 to enter. Day 1A commences at 8:05 p.m. GMT tonight and sees those who enter battle it out until only 15% of the field remains.
Last year’s WPT500 attracted a bumper crowd of 4,828 entries and it was Fabio Sperling who was the last player standing. Sperling took home $281,125 after a four-handed deal that involved Walter Treccarichi ($235,666), Markus Prinz ($202,012), and Christopher Puetz ($187,289).

Ali Imsirovic triumphed in yet another high buy-in poker tournament on March 3 when he emerged victoriously from the partypoker MILLONS Online #21 High Roller Turbo event. This latest victory saw Imsirovic reel in a $92,516 prize.
Place | Player | Country | Prize |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Ali Imsirovic | Mexico | $97,516 |
2 | Wiktor Malinowski | Russia | $60,815 |
3 | Daniel Dvoress | Canada | $39,526 |
4 | Andras Nemeth | Hungary | $28,279 |
5 | Dario Sammartino | Austria | $21,327 |
6 | Christoph Vogelsang | United Kingdom | $16,823 |
7 | Ivan Zufic | Croatia | $14,073 |
The $2,100 buy-in High Roller Turbo was done and dusted in less than six hours, ensuring the 11 players who cashed in the event boosted their usual hourly rate.
Team partypoker was well represented among the 65 entrants but none of those sporting orange diamonds managed to make it into the top 11 finishing positions where the $325,000 prize pool was divvied up.
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.
The 2021 partypoker MILLIONS Online $5,300 Main Event has crowned its winner. Start-of-the-day chip leader Endrit Geci took it down for $774,838 after having had agreed upon a heads-up deal with Francisco Correia. Runner-up Correia walked away $731,960 richer.
Daniel Dvoress and partypoker sponsored pro Dzmitry Urbanovich finished in third and fourth place, respectively, while high roller Christian Rudolph ended up in sixth. The tournament attracted a total 1,084 entries to get to a prize pool of $5,420,000.
Geci's previous biggest recorded cash on The Hendon Mob is a runner-up finish in last summer's online WSOP bracelet series ($223,978), while his biggest live score stands at ~$55K. Needless to say, this score dwarfs all his previous accomplishments and establishes the Brit's name with a bang.
Place | Player | Country | Prize |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Endrit Geci | United Kingdom | $774,838* |
2 | Francisco Correia | Brazil | $731,960* |
3 | Daniel Dvoress | Canada | $422,422 |

The partypoker MILLIONS Online #26 High Roller is kicking off in about 5 minutes and one of the big satellites into it which guaranteed 20 seats has just ended with exactly 20 players grabbing their spot in the big one.
Sven Poerschke bubbled the satellite when Leonard Maue shoved with the bigger stack from under the gun and Poerschke called in the big blind with the shorter stack.

The board ran out for Poerschke to flop the open-ended straight draw but for Maue to hold and even hit a runner-runner straight for the satellite to be over.
Other players who have qualified include Juan Pardo Dominguez, Luc Greenwood, Christian Jeppsson, Daan Mulders, Jakob Miegel, Arsenii Karmatckii, Georgios Karakousis, Michael Sklenicka, and Pascal Hartmann for example.
They will join players like Wiktor Malinowski, Timothy Adams, Chris Brewer, Christoph Vogelsang, and Damian Salas who have already registered.
