partypoker’s PPC Czech Republic to Guarantee €500,000 This August
This August, partypoker is coming to the Czech Republic. The partypoker Championship (or PPC for short) Czech Republic runs from August 8-15 at the King's Casino & Resort right at the Czech-German border.
The biggest headline of this tournament is the Main Event, which offers a guarantee of a whopping €500,000 with a moderate buy-in of €330. While the live tournament doesn't start until August 8, you can already play the first starting flight of the Main Event this Sunday, online on partypoker's client.
In total, the tournament offers three online starting flights: July 31, August 7 and August 9. As has become customary in partypoker's tournaments, all players who make it through any starting flight are automatically in the money. Players who qualify online will therefore receive at least a min-cash and can travel to the King's Resort in Rozvadov with the safe knowledge that they are already in the money.
In total, the Main Event features another eight live starting flights from August 8-14. Day 2 begins on the afternoon of August 14 and the final will be played on August 15.
Further Highlights of the PPC Czech Republic
In addition to the Main Event, there is an extensive live tournament schedule with numerous side events. Among them is the PPC Opener - a €150 tournament with a €10,000 guarantee. There is also a €150 PLO Tournament, a €150 Ladies Event and a €1,100 High Roller event on August 14. During the PPC, cash games will run around the clock inside the King's Casino.
Satellites to the Main Event
The Main Event of the partypoker Championship is already quite affordable at €330 (especially considering the guarantee of half a million euros), but you can qualify for the tournament even cheaper.
On-site live satellites run until August 12 for a buy-in of €60. Online you can qualify via the partypoker step system starting with a buy-in of only one cent.
Daily at 16:00 and 21:00 partypoker offers so-called Centroll Satellites. They have a buy-in of €0,01 and players win seats to the Phase 1 Satellites. These have a buy-in of €6.30 and run daily at 17:00 and 22:00. Every Sunday at 19:05 the operator runs a Phase 2 Satellite, which guarantees tickets to the Main Event of the PPC.
