2020 partypoker US Network Online Mini Series

The partypoker US Network Online Mini-Series is bringing everything but the kitchen sink to Wednesday’s Event #5: $500 GTD NLH Super Bounty 6-Max Turbo, and all players within the state of New Jersey may get in on the action across any of the following three sites: partypoker US, Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker.

The event costs $5 to play, ($4.80+$0.20), and $2.40 of each player’s buy-in will go towards a bounty atop their heads for whoever knocks them out of the tournament. On top of the super-knockout format, this tournament features six-handed play and a turbo structure with just six-minute levels.

Players receive starting stacks of 30,000 with blinds starting at 150/300 and an ante of 40, and registration will remain open for 15 levels of play, closing after the tournament has been running for an hour and a half at the beginning of Level 16 (2,000/4,000/500). During that time, unlimited re-entries are available for anybody who finds their bounty taken in the event, meaning players are guaranteed as much action in the tournament’s first 90 minutes as they wish to seek.

Play begins at noon ET and PokerNews will be bringing you updates all tournament long in addition to providing further coverage of other events as the week-long series unfolds. Here’s a look at the rest of the events for the series.
