Go For Glory in partypoker’s Player-Friendly Grand Prix Summer Edition
As real money online poker operators go, partypoker really lives up to its name - no sooner has one ambitious promotion or series ended, and another begins! The latest is a veritable feast for online poker tournament fans.
The Grand Prix Summer Edition is a great advert for online poker, with an exciting schedule that runs from 29 June until 17 July and which features 12 multi-flight events plus dozens of special side events.
The buy-ins in the numbered events start at just $1.10 and go up to $55 (which is enough to get you a seat in the $150,000 GTD Main Event), but these very affordable buy-ins don’t mean the prize money is modest in the slightest - the $33 buy-in Opener PKO, for example, boasts a $50,000 guarantee.
