Posted on by renee

partypoker WSOP for Lifepartypoker, a reputed online poker portal in the UK, recently announced that it was launching a new poker tournament promotion related to the World Series of Poker that allows poker players to get to participate at the Main Event of the World Series of Poker for the next 20 years!

This incredible promotion is a golden opportunity and it is expected that several new players will be signing up at partypoker just to be a part of the World Series of Poker. This is a unique promotional offer that partypoker is running for its players.

According to partypoker, “This unbelievable package is every poker player’s dream prize as they don’t have to worry about qualifying for the Main Event ever again… They receive a Main Event package for life. As an extra bonus for 2010, partypoker even pays the travel, accommodation and spending money for this year’s Las Vegas extravaganza.”

Play the WSOP Main Event for Free for the Next 20 Years

Many online poker rooms are currently offering poker packages worth $10k or more to a few lucky players and thus paying they buy-in to the 2010 WSOP Main Event. partypoker has gone many steps ahead and is offering much more than seats in this year’s World Series of Poker via qualifiers. The WSOP for Life campaign is a promotion launched by this poker giant which allows members to compete with each other for two special prize packages. These packages are worth $14,000 each and are capable of getting the two winners into the WSOP Main Event for a period of twenty years, which is more or less equivalent to a life sentence – hence the term WSOP for Life.

This package covers the $10,000 buy-in for the Main Event and, expenditure for travel and accommodation. The WSOP package will not end here and these 2 winners will receive a sum of $10,000 to make the buy-in at the WSOP Main Events every year, for the next 20 years. This offer will end when the WSOP closes or if the site shuts down.

Mike Sexton partypokerMike Sexton, ambassador for partypoker said: “I think WSOP for Life is a really great idea – I have been playing the Main Event for most of my life! I just wish I had the opportunity to qualify for this but, unfortunately, I am exempt!”

A partypoker spokesman said: “We’ve got two WSOP for Life packages to give away and we’re making them available to all players via a leader board challenge and a tournament. Normally, the chance to take part in the WSOP Main Event is a once in lifetime opportunity but with this you have a Main Event package guaranteed for life.” To win the leader board challenge might be a bit harsh for newbie’s, but it’s good to know that the top 500 finishers will receive a ticket for the WSOP for Life freeroll where the second package can be won.

Drive the Dream Freerolls

These freerolls began this week on Tuesday on the 27th of April and are expected to continue for a few months until the 12th of September 2010. This gives players the opportunity to hone their poker skills before participating in the event, which being a freeroll, means that there is nothing to lose.

partypoker Big Game IV This Weekend

Posted on by giorgio

partypoker Big Game IVpartypoker’s Big Game IV is set to begin this Sunday at the Les Ambassadeurs Club in Mayfair in London and the lineup of the event is massive. Poker pros keep lining up to compete in the event and it is looking like the competition is going to be fierce.

First off Tony G invited mystery poker pro Isildur1 to compete in the event and according to Tony G, Isildur1 accepted! So we all should find out who the mystery poker pro is, unless he decides to hide his identity. Either way it will be exciting to see the poker pro competing at a live table.

Also competing in the event is Robert Williamson III, Andrew Feldman, Phil Laak and his girlfriend Jennifer Tilly, Roland de Wolfe, Neil Channing, Barny Boatman and Dusty Schmidt. A few young players will be competing as well. Justin Bonomo, Luke Schwartz and Isaac Haxton will be seated at the felt.

Other players scheduled to compete are: David “Viffer” Peat, Bodo Sbrzesny, James Mitchell, Simon “Schnibl0r” Münz, Roberto Romanello, Andy Greekfish, Laurence Grondin, Jake Cody, Sam Trickett, Josh Gould, Richard Wheatley, and Paul Simbler.

The cash game event is going to be very interesting as players get to enter the tournament to their own theme music. Many have already chosen what song they will be entering with and many are very interesting. Jennifer Tilly will be coming out to Man Eater by Hall and Oates while Roland de Wolfe will be coming out to Duran Duran’s Hungry Like the Wolf. Tony G has chosen Queen’s Bicycle Race while Schmidt has chosen Kanye West’s Flashing Lights.

Once the poker tournament begins it will really get interesting. Every two hours players who are seated will vote for one player at the table to be banished and replaced by someone else. Someone else will also replace a player once they have been busted until only one player remains. The event is going to be recorded and then televised in Europe later this year.

Two partypoker Online Qualifiers Took The Aussie Millions

Posted on by giorgio

More and more you don’t have to be rich or a well known player to make it big thanks to online poker. Now players have the opportunity to play major events as long as they’re willing to work for it by playing in online satellites and other qualifiers.

Recently players at partypoker were trying to qualify online for the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia and 43 players made it.

Tyron KrostAmong the online qualifiers were Tyron Krost, 23 from Bondi, Sydney, took 1st place and AUD $2,000,000 and Frederik Jensen, 27 from Copenhagen, finished in 2nd for AUD $1,100,100.

The two online qualifiers made it through to the final table after outlasting 749 other players and then had to outplay pro’s Sorel Mizzi and Annette Obrestrad among others to take 1st and 2nd place.

Tyron Krost is currently working in his family owned furniture business in Sydney but is now considering making poker his full time occupation.

After winning Kroft said: “This is totally unbelievable – it is beyond my wildest dreams. If it is a dream, I don’t want to wake up! In total I spent $700 trying to qualify for a package and I have managed to turn that into AUD $2,000,000! I got some really good spots on the final table. When I needed a hand I seemed to get it.”

“It just hasn’t sunk in at all how much money I have just won. I have no idea what I am going to with it. I cashed at the World Series in 2008 but nothing like this.”

It wasn’t a dream though and many poker pro’s can attest to that. Krost took out Gus Hansen on his way to 1st place and apparently it was time for a little payback. Back in the 2008 WSOP Main Event Gus Hansen had knocked him out.

partypoker Asks Hit Or Run?

Posted on by giorgio

Players can win up to $10,000 dollars a day throughout the month of February at partypoker. All you have to do is play a little poker and then when the time is right decide where to Hit or Run, it’s that easy.

If you’ve ever played Video Poker then you know what I’m talking about. It’s typically called doubling up, you win a hand and you can double it up, or just take the original winnings.

How partypoker’s Hit or Run Works

Each player that collects 20 PartyPoints will receive a $1 dollar bet on their special Hit or Run Heads Up Game. If you win partypoker will double your money. You can then ‘Hit’ and get another hand for another chance to double your money or ‘Run’ and just take your money and go.

If you lose at any point you will lose it all. For example you start with $1, double up to $2, again to $4, then on to $8, etc until you decide to run, double up to the max reward or lose it all.

In order to earn Frequent Player Points at partypoker you must play at real money tables. If you earn over 20 FPPs you will get another chance at the game within an hour.

Hit or Run Rules

You can only successfully Hit 10 times per game, making each game worth $1,024 dollars if you make it all the way through without losing. If you have enough FPPs you can play up to 10 times a day.

If luck is on your side and you win the max all ten times that would be a $10,240 dollar payday. You can play every day since February 1st up to February 28th.
