PARTY GAMING TO INVEST $5 MILLION A MONTH IN ONLINE POKER TOURNAMENTS

6 April 2007

Party Poker is set for some major online poker action with boosts for prizes

Online poker players, hold on to your hats! From Monday 2nd April, Party Poker.com will be holding tournaments that guarantee over $5 million a month in prixe money! And on top of this there is over $50 000 in freerolls scheduled every month and hundreds of thousands of dollars up for grabs from the Bad Beat Jackpot.

The main thrust for the $5 million investment is the $300 000 Guaranteed tournament series every Sunday that is attracting steadily increasing numbers of players every week, with online qualifiers starting from as little as $3.

The popularity of the tournament has risen so sharply in recent months that four new qualifiers have been added on a Saturday and Sunday.

Amongst the many tournaments that will see an increase in their guarantee from today (Monday 2nd April) include the $40 000 Guaranteed event every Saturday that will deliver $50 000. Other events that have been topped-up include the daily $10 000 Guaranteed (rebuy), which rises to $13 000, and the daily $18 000 Guaranteed, which increases to $20 000.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: "It is good news all round that over $5 million is available to thousands of players in guaranteed tournaments every month. In addition to guaranteed tournaments, qualifying for the World Series of Poker is in full swing and there is over $50 000 in freerolls available every month. The Party Poker.com Bad Beat Jackpot also continues to tick over at a rate of over $1 000 every hour and has just been hit for over $145 000."
