PokerStars Winter Series Brings €21 Million Guaranteed; €225,000 in Tickets Up for Grabs

With the PokerStars Winter Series already underway, players in Southern Europe and Italy can also now get in on the action through Jan. 16.

The Winter Series is back at PokerStars for players in Southern Europe and Italy. The series features three weeks of action from Dec. 25 to Jan. 17 with a total €21 million guaranteed between both platforms.

Players in France, Spain, and Portugal can expect 303 events with more than €15 million guaranteed. Buy-ins range from €5 to €250 with €1 million guaranteed in the Main Event on Jan. 10.

Players will also find a variety of other events including a €30 Phase tournament with €1 million guaranteed. PokerStars is also throwing in plenty of extras for players.

“The Winter Series has become a staple in our offering for Southern Europe and Italy and we’re happy to bring this unique year to a close with it,” PokerStars managing director and commercial officer Severin Rasset said.

“We wanted to give our community many chances to qualify for the series so we’re really excited to be able to award $225,000 in tickets through a variety of routes. We hope this brings some well-needed holiday cheer to our community.”

PokerStars Winter Series brings huge schedule to Southern Europe

The Winter Series action heats up this winter at PokerStars .EU with $15 million guaranteed. The €250 Main Event highlights the series and features the progressive knockout (PKO) format. The tournament comes with a €1 million guarantee.

A PKO event is a bit different than a traditional bounty tournament. Every time a player knocks someone out, he or she wins only a portion of that bounty.

The other portion is added to the winner’s bounty. A PKO adds some fun elements to the game. The farther a player goes, the more bounty money on his or her head.

Players can win their way into the series via the Winter Series Ticket Machine. This promotion offers players €200,000 worth of tickets from Dec. 28 to Jan. 10.

To take part, players must opt in via the challenges window. Those then playing a Winter Series event are entered into a daily drawing.

The higher the tournament buy-in, the more entries a player receives. Special €12.50 Spin & Go’s in France and Spain also offer the opportunity to win a Main Event seat. Here’s a look at the complete series (the first two unavailable at press time):

Partypoker Offers $60K in Weekly Legends Tournament Tickets; KO Series Also in the Works

The partypoker Legend of the Week pats out $60,000 in tournament tickets each week.

Want to be a legend? Partypoker is now making it easier to reach that status as part of the site’s Daily Legends tournaments.

As part of the promotion, players compete to become a Legend of the Week. Prizes for winners amount to $60,000 in tournament tickets each week.

The Legends events offer something extra for those hitting the tables regularly at partypoker. The new weekly revamp builds on the program even more.

“Since launch, Daily Legends have been growing in popularity among multi-table tournament players,” partypoker marketing director Vadim Soloveychik said, “and we are happy to give players yet another reason to play them.”

How to become a partypoker legend and win some cash

Throughout December, partypoker will run five weekly Legend of the Week leaderboards, Monday through Saturday. Points can be earned from two tournaments in each leaderboard category per day.

The top 100 finishers in each leaderboard earn prizes. Here’s a look at all the leaderboard levels with buy-ins and top prizes.

Leaderboard 1 – $2.20

Players in this category can earn points from the Double Jab and Deuce. The weekly winner receives two $150 Daily Legends tickets, a $111 One Shot ticket, and a $55 Gladiator ticket.

Leaderboard 2 – $5.50

Players earn points for the Headhunter and Five Diamond. The top prize is three $150 Daily Legends tickets, a $215 Warrior ticket, and a $111 One Shot ticket.

Leaderboard 3 – $11

Points from for the Terminator and Ocean’s will count toward these standings. The winner earns three $150 Daily Legends tickets, a $320 ticket for The 300, and a $215 Warrior ticket.

Leaderboard 4 – $22

Competitors win points from buy-ins for the Predator and Clásico. The top player wins three $150 Daily Legends tickets, a $530 Tuesday 500 ticket, and a $530 Thursday 500 ticket.

Leaderboard 5 – $55

The prizes are ramped up even more for players at this level. Entries in the Gladiator and Masters earn points and include:

  • a $1,111 High Roller One Shot ticket
  • a $530 Tuesday 500 ticket
  • a $530 Thursday 500 ticket
  • a $320 ticket for The 300
  • a $215 Deepstack ticket

All Daily Legends tournaments give players a better chance of finishing in the money. Only one re-entry is allowed per player.

These events also make use of limited late registration. Partypoker officials believe the promotion works out well for players of all levels.

“In the spirit of Daily Legends, only two tournaments will count daily at each level, so even low-volume players have a fair chance of finishing in the money,” Soloveychik said.

More in store with KO Series coming soon

A schedule should be released soon and fans of bounty events have a lot to look forward to. The partypoker KO Series is set for Dec. 25 to Jan. 19.

The last KO Series last ran in February with 230 tournaments and $10 million guaranteed. Buy-ins range from $2.20 to $2,100 with nine Main Events featuring a combined $2.7 million in guarantees.

The Blow Out Ticket Machine will award $2 million in tickets from Dec. 27 – Jan. 16. Players must opt-in to the challenges window to take part and doing so could pay big dividends. 

Those who simply play a Blow Out Series event will be entered into a daily drawing. The more Blow Out tournaments played, the more entries a player receives.

Players can also turn $4 and $22 Spin & Go’s into Big Blow Out buy-ins and cash prizes. These run through Jan. 17 and offer a chance to play in the special events at a lower price point.

The new year brings plenty of opportunities for online poker players to cash in at PokerStars.

MONEY MADNESS: Partypoker MILLIONS Online Returns for 2021 with $5 Million Main Event

The partypoker MILLIONS Online series returns in February 2021.

A live partypoker MILLIONS may not be currently possible, but players can still get in the action in February. The site announced this week that the MILLIONS Online returns next year with a $5 million guaranteed prize pool.

The fourth edition of the online version may warm the heart – kicking off on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14. Players should love the opportunity to get in two starting slights in the $5,300 Main Event. The first flight is set for Feb. 14 and the second for Feb. 21.

With most major live poker tournaments shut down, the online poker boom continues around the world. Operators like partypoker continue working to meet demand and MILLIONS should help fit the bill.

Some partypoker MILLIONS details

A full schedule isn’t available yet. However, partypoker has offered some insight on the Main Event.

The site will continue its trend of limited re-entry – only one per starting flight in this case.

That’s meant to make the series more like a live tournament and appeal to more recreational players. Here’s a look at the Main Event schedule:

DateTournamentTime (GMT)Additional details
Feb. 14MILLIONS Online Main Event Day 1A19:05Buy-in $5,300
Feb. 21MILLIONS Online Main Event Day 1B19:05Guarantee – $5 million
Feb. 22MILLIONS Online Main Event Day 219:05
Feb. 23MILLIONS Online Main Event Day 319:05
Feb. 24MILLIONS Online Main Event final table19:05
 

Partypoker MILLIONS satellite plans

For much of 2020, partypoker has stressed reaching poker players of all levels and bankrolls. That looks to continue in 2021 and begins with the latest MILLIONS Online.

Satellite events for the series have already begun. The site will award at least 10 Main Event seats every Sunday. Players will also find phase tournaments running daily.

Players can qualify for as little as $0.01 – with these “centrolls” running throughout the weeks preceding the series. These qualifiers run daily and award $5.50 tickets for Phase 1 tournaments. Players who advance through 18 levels then progress to Phase 2.

This phase comes with a $55 entry fee (for those who don’t qualify in Phase 1) and those lasting 22 levels qualify for the weekly final. Each final awards at least 10 Main Event seats.

Boosted Daily Legends continue in December

The popular Boosted Daily Legends promotion returns at partypoker through Dec. 20 – this time as a satellite edition. These events allow players to turn a small investment into possibly a massive prize.

Each player receives a random prize after a Daily Legends satellite. Prizes include $1,000 Daily Freeroll tickets, Daily Legends tickets, and satellite tickets worth up to $109.

Players can win up to four tickets every day. The four buy-in levels for the Boosted Daily Legends: Satellite Edition are:

  • Level 1: $0.11 to $0.99
  • Level 2: $1 to $5.49
  • Level 3: $5.50 to $21.99
  • Level 4: $22 and over

In December, it pays to play satellites – not just for a shot at a potentially bigger score. Those freebies can add up as well.

Diego Ventura crushes Caribbean Poker Party Main Event – start to finish

The Irish Poker Masters is just beginning, but the Caribbean Poker Party Online just finished. The series ran from Nov. 13-25 with a $10 million guaranteed prize pool and 10 events with mini and micro versions.

The series produced a couple of unique stories including in the Main Event. It’s rare for a poker player to lead a tournament from start to finish, butr Peru’s Diego Ventura did just that.

He finished Day 1B of the event not only as the flight’s chip leader, but as the player to catch overall. That run continued on Days 2 and 3 before he started a star-studded final table as the leader.

The $5,300 tournament featured a $5 million guarantee and a trophy to the champion. Ultimately, Ventura’s big run ended with the title and the $879,894 top prize.

Player turns penny into five figures

Beyond Ventura, another player also scored big with a significantly smaller buy-in. Partypoker regularly offers qualifiers starting at just €0.01. Players can take a shot in these and hopefully work their way up to a tournament ticket.

Ukraine’s Yevhenii Dushko did just that. He turned a penny into a Main Event entry and went on to finish 55th. That turned into a payday of $19,184. Simply turning one cent into a Main Event seat was quite an accomplishment – and cashing is even bigger.

“I got lucky during Day 1A when I had a set of Aces over a set of eights and that helped build a stack and progress to Day 2,” he told partypoker. “I felt I played quite well despite the obviously different level of skill compared to my usual limits; there were a lot of strong players.”

The payout is about 40 times the average monthly salary for someone in the Ukraine. So far, Dushko isn’t sure how he’ll use the cash.

“I haven’t even thought about any big purchases to be honest,” he said. “I know that I have to keep my head cool after winning this big prize. The money will help my life for sure, but I feel like I don’t have to do anything spontaneous.

“It also will help me continue growing as a poker player. I am grateful that my friends and family treat my love of poker with respect and without the stereotypes about gambling. This support was very important to me.”
