Online poker players have the chance to get into some live action starting Thursday as part of the partypoker Championship (PPC) Malta series.
The series features a unique structure offering players the best of both the live and online worlds. PPC Malta’s online events will run March 17-31 with more than 100 tournaments.
The site is offering opportunities for players of all bankrolls to get involved. Party is also planning some special experiences away from the tables for those heading to Malta for some live poker.
Plenty of action from partypoker
Online players have numerous tournaments to choose from throughout the series. Among the highlights of the online schedule is the Grand Prix KO. This $55 event promises a guarantee of $200,000.
The $320 Knockout Championship also comes with a $400,000 guarantee. That event should attract plenty of bounty-hunting players.
The series then heads to Malta on March 31 and runs through April 4. Portomaso Casino, located in the vibrant town of St. Julian’s, hosts the live leg of the series.
A total of eight live events are scheduled, including the €550 Main Event with a €500,000 guarantee.
Win a trip to Malta
Those hoping to book a trip to the island have numerous opportunities online. Online satellites are planned throughout the series with buy-ins starting at just $0.01.
Starting flights will be held both live in Malta and online. Online satellites for the Main Event are already underway at partypoker. Players can enter that satellite tree for just a single cent.
The series follows the success of partypoker’s first online-live hybrid series, the Grand Prix UK. That event concluded earlier this week.
“We’re very much looking forward to running our first ever partypoker Championship online-live hybrid event,” partypoker Live marketing manager Andrea King said in a news release.
“The huge online schedule which precedes our time in Malta provides something for everyone, with a broad range of buy-ins and tournament formats, and satellites that will allow players to play for even less.”
Here’s a look at the complete schedule.
