Partypoker Boosts Super Daily Legends With Bigger Guarantees; North Cyprus MILLIONS Winners

There's a lot going on for online poker players at partypoker and here's a look at some events planned for the coming weeks.

The Daily Legends tournaments have expanded at partypoker. The site announced this week that sister versions of the popular Sunday games will now run on weekdays as well. 

The plans now give even more chances for players to win large cash payouts. Mini and micro versions of all tournaments will also run alongside the daily events as well. Players of all bankrolls have an opportunity to win big.

What are partypoker Super Daily Legends?

The Daily Legends are designed to give players of all bankrolls an equal chance at winning prizes. The most successful players can win tournament tickets through the Legend of the Week leaderboard.

Partypoker is now adding one Super Daily Legends tournament each night of the week from Monday to Thursday. Here’s a look at the new weekly schedule:

  • Monday – Super $109 with a $50,000 guarantee
  • Tuesday – Super $215 with a $75,000 guarantee
  • Wednesday – Super $320 with a $100,000 guarantee
  • Thursday – Super $530 with a $100,000 guarantee

Weekend events also see increases

In addition to the introduction of Super Daily Legends on weekdays, some Sunday tournaments are also seeing guarantees boosted.

The $1,050 Grand goes from $200,000 to $250,000. The $109 Weekender sees the guarantee raised from $100,000 to $125,000. Flights for both tournaments also run throughout the week.

“I’m really looking forward to getting involved in these tournaments,” Team partypoker’s Patrick Leonard said in a news release. “Sunday is my favorite day of the week, so it’s great to see some of these Sunday-style guarantees being introduced during the week.”

Here’s a complete schedule of the Daily Legends events.

Partypoker Promotion Winners Cash In; Player Turns Penny Into $13K, Another Snags F1 Package

The partypoker dream of turning a micro buy-in into a big score came true recently in the $5,300 WPT World Online Championships Main Event. Thousands of players took part in centroll satellites to earn a seat in the championship event.

Nikolay Gorbunov was one of those and scored big after advancing through each qualifying level. He turned a single penny into a Main Event seat and then went on to finish 99th for $13,027.

“Partypoker’s centrolls are a great way to play poker as a beginner,” he told the partypoker blog. “I play them all the time, in addition to other freerolls and satellites from $0.55. I’ve played them for about two years as a way to try and build my bankroll.”

Earning a partypoker WPT seat for a single cent

Nikolay Gorbunov

Earning a WPT entry for a penny certainly isn’t easy, but Gorbunov shows that it is possible. A player must advance through several qualifying levels.

However, things moved quickly for Gorbunov. His entire run took place in a single day and he was right in the Main Event. The quick turnaround removed some of the stress of being in such a major event however.

“The first day was great in terms of emotions,” he says. “I stacked Benjamin Rolle with Aces in the blinds – he caught top pair on the flop. Day 1A saw my stack become very short because I simply wanted to get into the prizes, and I played very tight because the pressure to cash was great.”

Gorbunov advanced to Day 2, but his run came to an end. Down to 11 big blinds, he moved all in with Ace-Jack but was called by a player with a dominating Ace-King. While disappointed to bow out, Gorbunov was thrilled with the result.

“I have already bought myself a car from the prize money, although it is rather inexpensive and not new,” he says. “I will probably play slightly higher stakes, increasing my average buy-in to $5.”

Formula 1 superfan wins massive racing package for Italian Grand Prix

Another player also recently scored in a unique partypoker promotion. Parent company Entain announced a sponsorship deal with Formula 1’s McLaren Racing earlier this year.

Partypoker F1 winner Ross Cartright and fiancee Jordan at the track.

That has meant some opportunities for the company’s online poker players to win some exclusive trackside prizes. Ross Cartwright was one of the first winners when his name was drawn. He scored $5,000 and a VIP trip for two to the famous Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

Cartwright loves F1 and is a McLaren fan as well, making him a great fit for the prize. He and his fiancee Jordan head to England’s Silverstone race track every year, camping throughout the week and watching the British Grand Prix.

“I started watching F1 in the late ‘80s,” he said. “My dad used to watch the races on Sunday, and he’d sometimes let me get up early to watch the flyaway races in Japan and Australia.

“I was instantly hooked by the Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost battles. Then I was a big follower of Nigel Mansell and then Damon Hill. I used to love it when the underdog teams won the race, such as Jordan at Spa.”

The pair were treated to numerous special events, excellent meals, and great seats for the race. They also met racing legends and the McLaren team including CEO Zak Brown.

“Overall, it was the dream experience,” Cartwright said. “Due to COVID, I didn’t expect to be able to be so close to the drivers or actually meet them.

“In the end, we did so much more. Hats off to McLaren, who really do look after their fans, especially us. We experienced and saw so much that it was hard to keep up at times. It was definitely a dream come true.”

Grand Prix underway at partypoker

The racing vibes continue this month at partypoker. The Grand Prix KO Series runs Sept. 19 – Oct. 4 with 16 progressive knockout events.

Buy-ins for the series range from $5.50 to $530. Players will find a two-day $109 Main Event beginning on Sept. 26. That event comes with a $500,000 guarantee and partypoker once again is offering centroll qualifiers.

Perhaps another player will make a deep run as Gorbunov did in the WPT World Online Championships. For a complete look at the Grand Prix, click here.

DraftsKings Seeks Purchase Of Partypoker Parent Company Entain For $20 Billion

The PartyPoker Championship Czech Republic is set for Aug. 8-15 at King’s Resort in Rozvadov with online qualifiers and starting flights.

Partypoker could become part of DraftKings if the poker site’s parent company accepts a rumored $20 billion offer. Entain  is one of the largest online gaming groups in the world and also owns the popular poker site.

DraftKings has reportedly offered $20 billion for the based in the United Kingdom-based company, according to CNBC. The possible deal came to light on Tuesday after Entain filed a report on the offer with the London Stock Exchange.

 

Details on the DraftKings-Entain offer

The move would create a massive sport betting, online gaming, online poker, and fantasy sports empire. DraftKings is a leader in the US sports betting and daily fantasy sports markets. The company also offers online casino gaming in some markets as well.

Along with owning partypoker, Entain also includes bwin, Ladbrokes, Coral, and numerous other online gaming brands. Partypoker remains one of the largest online poker operations in the world.

The poker brand regularly ranks among the top 10 sites in the PokerScout worldwide online traffic report.

In the US, the company also has a partnership with MGM Resorts for the partypoker US Network. That includes the Borgata and BetMGM poker skins as well as the PartyCasino brand. The partnership also includes a growing sports betting presence in several US states as well.

Party also partners with the World Poker Tour to offer live and online events both internationally and in the US. CNBC notes that a possible deal would need the approval of MGM because of the US partnership.

“Any transaction whereby Entain or its affiliates would own a competing business in the US would require MGM’s consent,” the company said in a statement per the network. “MGM will engage with Entain and DraftKings, as appropriate, to find a solution to the exclusivity arrangements which meets all parties’ objectives.”

What to watch

The deal makes for some interesting dynamics. MGM made its own $11 billion offer for Entain earlier this year. That was to be an all-stock arrangement, but Entain rejected the bid.

DraftKings has offered a mix of cash and stock for the company. If the deal goes forward, DraftKings becomes one of the biggest online gaming companies in the world.

However, there are some details to work out – namely with MGM. In the US, DraftKings and BetMGM are competitors in the sports betting and online gaming spaces.

MGM is a leader in online casino in the US. The deal would in essence have DraftKings owning half of a chief rival. The company could possibly sell all of its interest in the US venture to MGM, which has shown interest in acquiring full ownership.

In that scenario, poker players would find the US version of partypoker/MGM/Borgata completely separate from the international brand.

However, all these scenarios simply remain speculation at this point. The $20 billion may not be the exact figure as well. Some in the industry believe that figure overvalues Entain.

Partypoker history and possibilities

Party was launched in 2001 with poker legend Mike Sexton as one of the co-founders. The company grew quickly during the poker boom. GVC Holdings (now known as Entain) purchased the company in 2016 for $1.1 billion.

The international platform is now available in numerous countries. Party/GVC even owned the WPT from 2009-15 before selling the brand for $35 million.

Party has seen large fields across all its platforms since the Coronavirus pandemic. Online poker saw a massive surge over the last two years and party benefited from that as well.

The industry has attracted player pools not seen since the poker boom of the 2000s. However, it seems unlikely the brand is a key target for DraftKings. Sports betting and online casino betting opportunities seem the more likely focus.

A deal would allow DraftKings to grow that aspect of the business in the United States and beyond. However, adding a poker brand could benefit both companies.

Party could become part of a platform with millions of gamblers. DraftKings also gains access to poker players who may also be interested in sports betting and other gaming.

Plenty remains to be seen about a possible deal.PokerScout will continue to follow the story.

Grand Prix KO Series Wheels Into Partypoker This Weekend

PartyPoker Live’s Grand Prix UK returns in July with a heavy online poker schedule before players head off to play live at Dusk Till Dawn.

Fresh off wrapping up the WPT World Online Championships, partypoker now waves the green flag on the Grand Prix KO Series. The series is the online version of the partypoker LIVE Grand Prix and runs from  Sept. 19 – Oct. 4 with 16 progressive knockout events.

The schedule features events for every player level with buy-ins ranging from $5.50 to $530. This festival follows the success of the first Grand Prix KO Series held earlier in the summer. Online poker players have plenty of options to rev their poker engines during the series.

A look at the partypoker Grand Prix 

Partypoker is promising a player-friendly series meant to fit all schedules and bankrolls. Events are structured for players in different time zones allowing players to participate regardless of which country they’re in. Those making the second day of an event are guaranteed to finish in the money.

The two-day $109 Main Event begins on Sept. 26 and comes with a $500,000 guarantee. Once again, party hopes to get even more players involved at bargain price points.

Players can qualify for the Main Event for just $0.01, with satellites feeding into the tournament. Once the championship begins, there are several more chances for players to enter.

Starting flights then run across the following eight days after the first Day 1 kicks off. That includes a Day 1 Hyper and a Day 1 Turbo starting flights, which are set for the same day as the final day on Oct. 4.

Germany’s Sasa Lukovic took the Main Event crown back in August, bagging the total top prize of $50,159.

Other series highlights

Beyond the Main Event, players will find plenty of other action. The $11 Mini Main Event carries a $100,000 guarantee.

The $5.50 Mini Six-Max also comes with a $50,000 guarantee. Both events offer players plenty of bang for the buck. Other notable events on the schedule include:

  •  $55 Six-Max – $250,000 guaranteed
  • $530 Six-Max High Roller – $500,000 guaranteed
  • $215 Seven-Max Turbo – $50,000 guaranteed

Ready to Rok: Gostisa Claims Latest WPT World Online Championship at Partypoker

The WPT World Online Championships came to a close on Tuesday at partypoker with Rok Gostisa taking the $5,300 Main Event title.

The WPT World Online Championships came to a close on Tuesday at partypoker with Rok Gostisa taking the $5,300 Main Event title. Along with adding his name to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup, the Slovenian players scored $959,493.

The score capped over a month of WPT action at the site featuring numerous main events and other side action. Gostisa topped a field of 1,179 entries with a prize pool of $5.9 million shared by the top 178 finishers.

 

Inside the partypoker WPT Main Event

Gostisa is a regular online player and also has more than $205,000 in live tournament winnings. The main event included four starting flights and Team partypoker’s Joao Simao was one of those at the final table. He spoke with PokerScout earlier this month about his dream to win a WPT title.

“I’m a hunter of event titles,” Simao said. “I won a WPT PLO event in May on partypoker and now I’m looking to go for more titles because the feeling was incredible, and I want more of it.”

However, Simao came up just short in his quest. The Brazilian pro finished ninth for $76,713.

Vlad Darie, based in Austria, held a significant chip lead going into the final table, but ultimately finished third.

He was eliminated after moving all in with A-7 and Gostisa flopped a set with 8-8. Darie cashed for $453,677 in third and Gostia faced Canada’s David Peters heads-up for the title.

Peters has been one of the hottest players in poker recently. He held almost a 2-to-1 chip lead, but Gostisa turned things around and eventually scored the championship. 

The final hand saw Peters flop a set of sixes on the flop against Gostisa’s pocket tens. Gostisa then hit a set on the river to become the latest WPT champion.

Along with almost $1 million, Gostisa has also won a Hublot watch. The final table was streamed live on partypoker’s Twitch, YouTube and Facebook Live channels with Team partypoker’s Jeff Gross and James Dempsey calling the action.

Big scores from small buy-ins, other champions crowned

The WPT Main Event offered opportunities for players of all bankrolls to take a shot at becoming a champion. Partypoker ran numerous Main Event satellites and qualifiers starting at just one cent.

A few players really cashed in on these qualifying opportunities. Yaroslav Bogaev and Nikolai Gorbunov both entered at the daily centroll stage and advanced to Day 2. Bogaev placed 39th for $23,499 and Gorbunov finished 99th for $13,204.

A few more champions were also crowned in the series’ final few days. The $1,050 Mini and $109 Micro Main Events also crowned winners.

The Mini title went to Mexico-based Barry Hutter, who won $257,423. Sweden’s Kristian Karlsson took the Micro for $45,434.

Gross scored some nice finishes in two of the Main Events and ran deep in all three. He reached Day 2 and cashed in both the Main Event and Mini version, banking a total of $30,586. The finish in the championship came after qualifying in a Phase 3 satellite.

“To make both Day 2s was incredible,” he said in a news release. “The WPT Main Event was extra special, as I played a $109 phase into the $530 Mega Sat, and then things went well from there.

“I absolutely love playing in WPT events on partypoker because they have the best structures and events.”

Partypoker Roundup: WPT World Championships Reach Final Days; Plenty of Events Still Ahead

The World Poker Tour is heading to France and Italy next year as the company announced three stops in the countries for 2023 last week.

The online poker action continues in the WPT World Online Championships at partypoker through this weekend. The $5,300 Main Event, featuring a $5 million guarantee, is underway and players still have opportunities to qualify with starting flights also still ahead.

The series runs through Sept. 14 culminating with an opportunity to join the WPT Champions Club. Beyond the main event, several players scored big wins over the last week. Here’s a look at some of the recent news surrounding the series.

WPT championship qualifiers continue

One final opportunity remains for players of all bankrolls to earn a shot in the Main Event with the last mega satellite set for Sunday. Plenty of events remain in the last week including the two final main event starting flights.

Players can qualify for just $0.01 with centroll feeder satellites running on a daily basis. Those feed into other qualifiers, culminating in the mega satellite. Players can also buy into that event directly for $530 and up to 50 tickets are on the line this week.

The Day 1C starting flight plays out on Sunday. So far, 103 players have advanced to Day 2 with Hungary’s Andras Nemeth holding the chip lead with more than 4 million.

Players will also find Day 1 turbo flights for all three main events on Monday. The $1,050 Mini and $109 Micro come with guarantees of $1 million and $300,000 respectively.

The second day of play continues on the same day with final tables set for Tuesday, the series’ final day. The WPT Main Event final table streams live on the partypokerTV Twitch channel.

Big WPT events ahead at partypoker

Other opportunities to become a WPT champion are on tap as well. The $109 Closer offers a $500,000 guarantee with the $11 Mini Closer promising $100,000. Both crown a champion on Monday.

Other events include some nice progressive knockout tournaments on Saturday, with all three mix-max championships kicking off. The $2,100 WPT Mix-Max Championship guarantees $1 million with the $215 Mini awarding at least $300,000.

The $22 Micro guarantees $100,000, and all mixed-max starting flights are already running.

A look at some winners

A few players locked up some titles over the last week. One of the most-watched events may have been the $10,300 High Roller Championship. In the end, the United Kingdom’s Jonathan Proudfoot battled Christian Rudolph heads-up for the top spot.

Rudolph has more than $5 million in live tournament winnings, but Lightfoot came out ahead in this one. He scored $268,960 for his efforts with Rudolph winning $183,031.

In the $2,100 Six-Max Championship, American online regular Daniel Colpoys was crowned the winner for $167,321. The player from Gloucester, Massachusetts, lives in Mexico and topped a field of 499 players.

In other action, Alexandros Theologis continued a hot streak by winning the WPT500 Knockout for a total of $115,068. In March, he also won the $3,200 Mix-Max event in the partypoker Millions Online for $74,937.

Colpoys also had a nice finish in this event as well, taking third for $75,589 in prize money and bounties.

On the lower buy-in level, Denis Lestin showed how a small buy-in can pay off. The sports physician won the $22 Micro Omaha Championship for $3,362. Some time away from the job has given him more time to play poker.

“I’m on a sabbatical now.,” he told partypoker. “I live outside the city and I’m happy about it. There are very cool methods of healing that I want to master and I am slowly preparing for this since training costs a lot of money, and poker is a great way to earn money without leaving home.”

Player of the Championship still in contention

Along with more tournaments in the mix, the Player of the Championship remains up for grabs. As many as 50 players will earn a share of $50,000.

The overall leaderboard winner also claims a top payout of $10,000. The leaderboard will be decided Sunday, when the $2,100 WPT Turbo Championship plays out with $300,000 guaranteed.

Theologis sat top of the leaderboard as of Thursday with 903 points.

Brazil’s Best: World’s Top Online Player Yuri Dzivielevski Discusses Success, New Role With Partypoker

Brazil's Yuri "theNERDguy" Dzivielevski recently spoke with PokerScout about signing with partypoker and his success on the felt.

It’s been a banner few months for Brazilian online poker players. Rounders from the land of samba and sun have scored massive tournament wins on some of the game’s biggest stages.

As the sixth most-populous country, Brazil represents a growing market apparently with plenty of talent. Partypoker recognizes that and recently announced the signing of Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski as a site ambassador.

The company didn’t just sign any Brazilian player, Dzivielevski is currently the top-ranked online tournament player in the world. The Brazilian star spoke with PokerScout this week about his poker life and new deal with partypoker.

“It’s a very special moment in my career,” he says. “It will be an honor for me to represent a brand I admire. I am very happy.”

Climbing the poker rankings

Dzivielevski began playing poker after his brother first introduced him to the game. Playing home games with friends became part of his normal routine and he had a knack for the game. His poker skills eventually helped his family out.

After leaving high school, he began making a living from poker to help his parents out. Those early days grinding it out online proved to be some great learning opportunities and his career soon skyrocketed.

He’s one of the most successful poker players in Latin America with online winnings totaling $14 million. That’s a record for any player based in Latin America.

Beyond the virtual felt, the 29-year-old has $1.2 million in live tournament winnings. In 2019 he even added a World Series of Poker bracelet to his trophy case. He took down a $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo event for $213,750.

A year later, the WSOP Online produced another bracelet after Dzivielevski won the $400 PLOSSUS for $221,557. The partypoker signing now becomes another nice bullet point in his career.

“This is a dream come true,” he says. “Joining partypoker is one of the most important achievements in my career and I am very excited to work with them.”

Joining the partypoker crew

Dzivielevski’s Team partypoker signing comes just as WPT World Online Championships are playing out at the site. Along with representing the brand,  he’ll be a regular face on partypoker’s Twitch channel, partypokerTV.

That work includes contributing to daily shows as well as streaming some new content of his own. Additionally, the Brazilian pro will run exclusive streamed tournaments.

In an age when so many online players stream their action, playing on Twitch will be a new experience.

“I actually don’t have a streaming channel, but I’ll be streaming weekly on partypoker Brazil,” he says. “My team and I will work together to give viewers the best possible content and I can’t wait to get started.”

Sharpening his skills

Maintaining a ranking atop the entire world’s pool of online poker talent certainly isn’t easy. How does “theNERDguy” work on his game? It involves less actual play at the tables than one might imagine, but there’s plenty of hitting the books.

“I make sure I have some kind of interaction with poker every day, whether playing or studying,” he says. ”I try to play two to three times a week and study on the other days. I don’t have an exact number of hours that I devote to studying, but I study on demand.”

Working with other poker-playing friends is also a major part of his preparation. He set up a study group with some friends in Brazil. The team splits the work and manages to cover most areas of the game, he says.

When not at the tables, Dzivielevski enjoys spending time with family, studying the Bible, surfing, and going to the gym. Drinking wine and eating some nice meals are also regularly on the menu.

Already with two WSOP bracelets, the WPT World Online Championships now offer another opportunity. He remains confident in his chances during the series, with good reason based on results.

“Winning a WPT title would be amazing,” he says. “In fact, it will be amazing! WPT series are such an important part of poker and I love to watch WPT events on TV, so this would be particularly special for me.

“A lot of good things will come from this partnership with partypoker and I’m sure we will create amazing things together.”
