partypoker<\/strong> appears to be taking a shot at the heavyweight title<\/strong> with its upcoming POWERFEST<\/strong> online series.<\/p>\n The online poker giant released a schedule for the series this week with a staggering $40 million in guaranteed prize money spread across 366 different events<\/strong>. It\u2019s the biggest POKERFEST that partypoker has ever run.<\/p>\n The series will run for two weeks<\/strong> from May 6-20, 2018<\/strong>, but online satellites have already started on partypoker. Qualifiers start at just $1.10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Serious poker players will have their hands full with 17 championship events<\/strong> and a total of 58 high roller or super roller tournaments.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s safe to say there is plenty of money to be won with a total of 13 events <\/strong>offering guaranteed prize pools of $1 million or more<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The series will culminate with seven championship events on Sunday with nearly $4 million<\/strong> in combined prize pools.<\/p>\n As usual, POWERFEST will offer a variety of different buy-in levels thanks to its Micro<\/strong>, Low<\/strong>, Mid<\/strong>, and High<\/strong> formats.<\/p>\n Buy-ins at the Micro level start at just $1.10<\/strong> but shoot all the way up to $216 <\/strong>for the High buy-in events. That\u2019s not even including the High Rollers and Super Rollers that top out at a sky-high $25,500<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The series will also feature a wide variety of games with No-Limit Hold\u2019em<\/strong>, PLO<\/strong>, and PLO8<\/strong>. There will also be a collection of the ever-popular Progressive Knockout <\/strong>events.<\/p>\n Organizers for this edition of POWERFEST focused on giving players a diverse<\/strong> selection of tournaments to play.<\/p>\n partypoker ambassador Patrick Leonard<\/strong> was heavily involved with creating the schedule. He\u2019s happy with where the series ended up:<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a lot of consistent logic throughout giving the most varied, exciting and fun POWERFEST schedule since partypoker\u2019s resurrection a few years ago.”<\/p>\n \u201cThere are more 6-Max events, more PLO, more high rollers but also buy-ins for all bankrolls and most importantly lots of chances of glory. I don’t think I’ll take a day off over the two weeks.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Of course, the majority of the series will still take place in familiar Hold\u2019em with No-Limit events taking place pretty much around the clock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n partypoker shook up the online world last year when it introduced a massive $25,000 super high roller<\/strong> for the May 2017 edition of POWERFEST.<\/p>\n The $2 million guaranteed tournament<\/strong> was a first for partypoker. All registration fees went towards charity. partypoker also chipped in an extra $50,000<\/strong>, thanks to the field exceeding 100 entries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the end, partypoker smashed the guarantee with 129 entries<\/strong>, creating a prize pool of $3.2 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Online player juanpardo99<\/strong> got through a very tough final table to walk away with $660,067<\/strong> for first place. That figure was taking a two-way chop into account as well. partypoker\u2019s own Sam Trickett<\/strong> and Joao Simao <\/strong>featured prominently at that final table, finishing eighth and fifth respectively.<\/p>\n The very next edition of POWERFEST, which took place in September 2017, saw Ben Tollerene<\/strong> defeat fellow online legend Viktor \u201cIsildur1\u201d Blom<\/strong> heads-up to win the second POWERFEST $25K for $846,722<\/strong>.<\/p>\n After a brief hiatus from the smaller POWERFEST in early 2018, the $25,000 buy-in SHR will make a triumphant return<\/strong> in the upcoming series. The blockbuster tournament will take place on May 17<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If previous editions are any indication then this tournament will be a must-watch<\/strong> for poker fans and a must-play<\/strong> for elite players with deep wallets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" partypoker appears to be taking a shot at the heavyweight title with its upcoming POWERFEST […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4923,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","vebbtech_seo_disable_yoast":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_author":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_date":false,"vebbtech_seo_hide_factchecker":false,"vebbtech_seo_fact_check_enabled":false,"vebbtech_seo_post_reviewer":55,"vebbtech_seo_post_review_date":"2025-01-16T11:57","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,373],"tags":[16],"class_list":{"0":"post-4723","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news-category","8":"category-tournament","9":"tag-partypoker"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSomething for everyone with Micro, Low, Mid, High buy-ins<\/span><\/h2>\n
