With major live tournament events still on hold, partypoker<\/strong><\/a> affirmed its continued partnership with the World Poker Tour<\/strong> on Monday. The two companies plan even more in 2021<\/strong> with several online festivals already in the works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond that, the companies are teaming up for two live events as well. WPT Russia<\/strong> will run Feb. 19-28<\/strong>, with the partypoker LIVE<\/strong> event held at Casino Sochi. Online satellites<\/a> are already underway.<\/span><\/p>\n

The WPT and partypoker already partnered on live events before the Coronavirus pandemic<\/strong>. That now has expanded even further with co-branded online series.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite ongoing uncertainly<\/a> with regards to live events, we can promise players a schedule packed full of WPT festivals in 2021,\u201d partypoker managing director Tom Waters<\/strong> said. \u201cWe are looking forward to working with the WPT team to produce schedules of the highest quality, both live and online.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Plenty of online partypoker\/WPT events to look forward to<\/span><\/h2>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the postponement of numerous WPT events and more live events could be moving online<\/a>. This means even more action for players in the international online poker<\/strong><\/a> market.<\/span><\/p>\n

To begin the year, the WPT Montreal Online<\/strong> will replace<\/a> the normal live series and is set to begin Jan. 10<\/strong>. A $2 million<\/strong> guaranteed Main Event is planned with satellites already available starting at $0.01<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The WPT Online Series<\/strong> returns to the partypoker schedule in May and World Online Championships<\/strong> is also back in September.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both series debuted in 2020 and found success. The Online Series paid out more than $52 million<\/strong> with the three flagship events all topping the guarantees.<\/span><\/p>\n

The World Online Championships ran from July to September<\/strong> earlier this year and became partypoker\u2019s biggest series ever<\/a>. That festival paid out more than $100 million<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Partypoker worked to appeal to players of all bankrolls and awarded 45,000 seats<\/strong> via satellites. In the $10,300 Main Event<\/strong>, seven of nine players at the final table qualified via satellites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those aren\u2019t the only WPT plans at partypoker. The WPT500<\/strong> Online<\/strong> joins the schedule in March<\/strong> and the WPTDeepStacks<\/strong> Online\u00a0<\/strong>debuts in July<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the other events, these festivals are designed to replicate the format of a live series. That includes condensing events into a shorter schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partypoker bringing back WPT live poker to Russia and beyond<\/span><\/h2>\n

It should be a big year for WPT fans online at partypoker, but a couple live events have also been announced. WPT Russia is just the first of two live events on the schedule, with WPTDeepStacks<\/strong> Russia<\/strong> also planned for July<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Players can qualify for the $3,300<\/strong> WPT Russia Main Event with a buy-in for as little as \u20bd3<\/strong> (Russian rubles, equivalent to $0.04<\/strong>). There are four phases<\/strong> of daily satellites each week, feeding into a weekly final.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Satellite buy-ins are restricted to a maximum of \u20bd3,300\/$43<\/strong>, allowing smaller bankroll players the chance to win. Winners earn a \u20bd300,000\/$3,925<\/strong> ticket and travel package<\/strong> to play the Main Event.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCasino Sochi is delighted to host the WPT Russia festival again after its success in 2020,\u201d the property\u2019s director of poker Artur Voskanyan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe casino has been thriving in the last few months, setting multiple poker records in the process, and we are sure hosting this WPT event during the winter snow season will be a roaring success.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Russia will introduce an electronic visa border process in 2021, Voskanyan added. This is expected to make it easier for international travelers<\/strong> to visit the country and play in these events.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs was the case in 2020, extensive satellite programs will be in place for all our events and it\u2019s great to see such high entry numbers for the online satellites that are currently running for WPT Russia at Casino Sochi and the online edition of WPT Montreal,\u201d Waters added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere were so many life-changing stories in 2020, and we are hopeful that 2021 will deliver even more.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Numerous partypoker series roll on<\/span><\/h2>\n

These announcements are just the latest for partypoker. Like other online operators, the site has offered numerous festivals as prize and players pools continue to soar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Caribbean Poker Party<\/strong> is already underway<\/a> and runs through Nov. 25<\/strong>. That series features 10 championship events and $10 million<\/strong> guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Irish Poker Masters<\/strong> has also been moved online<\/a> this year. The series kicks off<\/a> Dec. 6<\/strong> and the \u20ac1,100 Main Event brings a \u20ac1 million<\/strong> guarantee<\/span> The site also wraps up the \u20ac1 million Monster Series<\/strong> today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond online events, Partypoker LIVE and WPT plan to grow their live event offerings around the globe in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n
