Increased Sunday Party and Sunday Carnival Prize Pool Guarantees at partypoker
“I love it when a plan comes together” - that was the catchphrase of lead character, John ‘Hannibal’ Smith in the TV and movie classic The A-Team. This is exactly what those behind recent additions to the very impressive Sunday schedule of online poker tournaments at partypoker must be saying.
From the multitude of choices we’re faced with in real money online poker as well, of course, as the vast amounts of money being paid out day after day, we might think that online poker operators can’t go wrong. However, the success of the industry is also a potential problem in that the competitive nature of the poker eco-system means providers are battling away to attract and retain players. Consequently, it helps their cause when new tournaments, for example, generate sufficient numbers – especially in the case of tournaments with hefty guaranteed prize pools.
There are two such new strings to the partypoker bow. First, the $22 buy-in Sunday Carnival will be held each Sunday at 19:00 GMT and comes with a tasty $50,000 guaranteed prize pool. Then there’s the $109 buy-in Sunday Party (kicking off at the same time). This Progressive Knockout (PKO) tournament pays out a guaranteed $150,000 in prizes. The proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating, and so it was that the first edition of the Sunday Party managed to generate over 1,600 entries and surpassed the $150K guarantee.
It’s on achieving (or not achieving) numbers like these that the success of this or that event or fixture depends. And with this in mind, partypoker are stepping up a gear to reward the loyalty of their players - on both 19 and 26 February the $22 buy-in Sunday Carnival will see its guaranteed prize pool boosted by a 50% increase to bring it to $75,000 and add even more incentive to play.
Meanwhile, on 26 February the prize pool for the Sunday Party fixture will increase to an incredible $200,000! Remember that partypoker is dedicated to providing opportunities for all, and these Sunday specials are no exception – there are many qualifiers available during the days running up to each weekly tournament, and it’s possible to start the satellite process for as little as 1 cent.
Good luck at the tables, and have fun, and don’t forget that you can find the latest online poker bonuses and offers via our up-to-date info section.
