The inaugural Caribbean Poker Party Online kicks off in just a few days and partypoker has now released the full schedule. The series runs Nov. 13-25 with a $10 million guaranteed prize pool.
Players will find a total of 10 events with mini and micro versions of some tournament also in the mix. The Opener, a $1,050 progressive knockout (PKO) event, gets the series started Friday with a $500,000 guarantee.
“The Caribbean Poker Party is one of my favorite stops of the year,” Team partypoker’s Kristen Bicknell said in a news release.
“Being able to play in it online with real names is the next best thing to going there. I’m looking forward to the Main Event and hopefully getting that trophy. With all the satellite opportunities, I’m sure it’s going to have a great turnout and be a highlight event of the year.”
A look at the partypoker Main Event
The white sands and cool Caribbean waters may be missing, but there is plenty to play for in November. The $5,300 Main Event runs throughout the series, with Day 1A on Nov. 15 and 1B on Nov. 22.
Three more days of action then follow Day 1B to play to a winner. The Main Event comes with a $5 million guarantee and a trophy will also be awarded to the champion.
Players will have plenty of opportunities to qualify for the Main Event. Satellites are already running daily, feeding into two weekly mega satellite Sunday finals.
Players can buy into satellites for as little as $0.01, with the satellite finals on Nov. 15 and 22. Entries to the finals are worth $530 and 50 Main Event seats will be awarded in both finals.
Mini and micro versions also run on the same day as the Main Event itself. The $530 Mini Main Event comes with a $500,000 guarantee. The $55 Micro Main Event includes a $150,000 guarantee.
Other Caribbean Poker Party highlights
Plenty of action remains beyond the main events. Along with No Limit Hold’em during the series, players will also find some Pot Limit Omaha action as well.
“We’ve tried to put together a schedule for all bankrolls here and we have still managed to offer a great overall guarantee,” partypoker LIVE President John Duthie said. “Enjoy the series.”
The $25,500 Super High Roller is another major highlight. That tournament features a $2 million guarantee and is set for Nov. 17 and 18. The event should bring out some of the game’s players in the nosebleed stakes.
Throughout the festival, satellites are available on the day of each event for all tournaments on the schedule. That and the micro and mini offers should appeal to a wide variety of players. Just a few of the other series highlights include:
- $1,050 Knockout (Event 3, Nov. 16) – $200,000 guarantee
- $1,050 Heads-Up NLHE (Event 5, Nov. 18) – $100,000 guarantee
- $320 Mini Pot Limit Omaha (Event 6, Nov. 10) – $30,000 guarantee
- $1,050 Warm Up (Event 7, Nov. 20) – $500,000 guarantee
The Caribbean Poker Party wraps up with The Closer – a one-day PKO event on the final day of the series. The $530 buy-in tournament comes with a $150,000 guarantee. Here’s a look at the complete schedule:
