partypoker MILLIONS is Back! (Sept 23 – Oct 3)
The poker world is buzzing with excitement as the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS series is back in action! From September 23 to October 3, all eyes will be on the Portomaso Casino in St. Julian's, Malta, where the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Malta festival will take place. The star of the show is the Grand Prix Malta event, where players can win from a jaw-dropping €1 million prize pool. To put it in perspective, the last Grand Prix in Bratislava had a €500,000 prize pool. This time, the stakes are doubled, promising big rewards for winners. And of course, the €3,000 MILLIONS event is one of the flagships in Malta, alongside the €5,300 Hydra High Roller event, which are both multi-day events. We from PokerListings, will be present on the spot, to provide you with all the updates of this glamorous event!
Grand Prix Bratislava a Success
As mentioned before, the partypoker Grand Prix event in Bratislava has been a huge success exceeding the guaranteed prize pool with a big chunk. Eventually, it was the Greek Alexandros Dimogiorgis who took home €102,000 and the title, after making a heads-up deal with German Dillan Bruce (€93,000). The third-place finisher, Hungarian Andras Balogh, gathered a nice €47,000 just coming in short of the trophy and the fame but definitely doesn’t look bad with regrets on the event.
Andras mentioned to us: ‘’Poker in Bratislava is growing so fast and for us Hungarians it’s just a short journey. Having found a bag twice during the Main Event (the first bag was 15bb, the second 45bb), had cost me another buy-in, but definitely paid off eventually. With ups and downs throughout the event, from 4 big blinds to coming in at the Final Table as second in chips, and then finishing 3rd. I take it, But you know as they say: Next time!’’. When we asked him if he would come back for the partypoker MILLIONS event, he confirmed right away to be there for the full ride.
€550 Grand Prix Malta
One of the most captivating aspects of this poker extravaganza is the Grand Prix Malta event, a highlight on the schedule that boasts a staggering €1 million guaranteed prize pool. To put this into perspective, the recent Grand Prix Bratislava featured a €500,000 guarantee, which was exceeded when the total prize pool reached €542,690. Now, with double the guaranteed amount, the Grand Prix Malta is poised to offer a prize pool that is bound to attract seasoned pros and ambitious amateurs alike.
But what truly sets this tournament apart is the exciting online qualifiers that allow players to turn a small investment into a shot at the million-euro prize pool. Partypoker offers various satellite poker tournaments with buy-ins starting from an astonishingly low €0.01. These qualifiers provide an incredible opportunity for poker players of all levels to secure their place at the tables in Malta and compete for a piece of the massive prize pool.
The journey to the Grand Prix Malta begins with two online Day 1s held on partypoker. The first of these took place on August 6, and it witnessed six players out of the 43 entrants advancing to the live Day 2 with a guaranteed €900 min-cash in hand. For those who missed the first online Day 1, fear not! The second online Day 1 is scheduled for September 3 at 20:00 CEST, offering players another chance to secure their spot at day 2 online.
Early Bird Availability
As the excitement ramps up, the live Day 1s are set to kick off on September 23. An enticing incentive awaits those who decide to jump into the action early: both Day 1A and Day 1B can be entered for the reduced price of €400, a €150 savings compared to the other flights. The proverbial early bird certainly catches the worm in this case, and players have the opportunity to maximize their value by taking advantage of this special offer.
In total, there are eight live Day 1s leading up to the crowning of the Grand Prix Malta champion on October 3. These starting flights offer diverse options, catering to players' preferences and schedules. Regardless of whether you're a seasoned high roller or a newcomer to the tournament scene, there's a spot for you at the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Malta event.
