Online poker giant Party Poker is getting ready to celebrate its seventh birthday, a lucky landmark for the site and for its members, who stand to profit from generous guarantees and special tourneys.
As an early preview into the celebrations to come, Party Poker has announced a “birthday tournament” with a guaranteed $1,000,000 prize pool, as well as a host of celebration tournaments which will be announced in the near future.
The $1,000,000 guaranteed tournament – the piece de resistance of Party Poker’s birthday celebrations – will take place on Sunday 10th August at 1245 Eastern Time. Players can buy in directly for $640 or join through qualifiers for as little as $1 or 15 Party Points. Qualifiers are already up and running daily.
Party Poker members and employees look forward to this company landmark, which is being approached with a truly festive spirit. A Party Poker spokesperson declared,
There is no doubt this is a party not to miss. It is not often you go to someone else’s birthday celebrations with the chance of walking away with a share of $1,000,000. It will definitely feel like a birthday and Christmas all rolled into one for our big winners.
The birthday celebrations will start on Monday 4th August, with a range of special celebration tournaments. Details of these will be announced in the near future.
The tournament will have 20,000 starting chip stacks, 20 minute levels and a Championship style blind structure.
