Party Poker Releases April Powerfest Schedule
Party Poker´s next Powerfest series will take place from 31st March to 14th April and consist of 255 tournaments guaranteed for more than $30 million.
Party Poker´s Powerfest returns on Sunday for its ninth installment with 255 tournaments packed into fifteen days of action and more than $30 million up for grabs. As usual, each event has multiple buy-in levels to accommodate every size of bankroll, plus the site is running a comprehensive satellite schedule that offers a number of opportunities to qualify for the series´ feature events at a fraction of the buy-ins.
Also as usual, the schedule offers a good range of NL Hold´em tournament formats from slow-paced, deepstack events to hyper-turbo crapshoots, but sadly no Omaha tournaments. Instead, the site is hosting five “Championship Events” – each awarding a special trophy to commemorate the winner´s achievement – plus fourteen “Powerfest $320” tournaments with prize pools up to $1 million.
The Highlights of the Powerfest Series
The highlights of the Powerfest series are undoubtedly the Championship Events. Between the five events there is $6.5 million in guaranteed prize pools, and although the buy-ins are a little steep for some players, Party Poker is running special Powerfest Spins games (see below) giving players the chance to win a seat in a Championship event for as little as $5.00.
| Powerfest Championship Events | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| When | Time (GMT) | Buy-In | Event # | Guarantee |
| Thursday 4th April | 5:00pm | $10,300 | #21-SHR | $1 Million |
| Thursday 11th April | 5:00pm | $25,500 | #54-SHR | $2.5 Million |
| Sunday 14th April | 5:00pm | $5,200 | #69-SHR | $1 Million |
| Sunday 14th April | 7:00pm | $2,100 | #70-HR | $1 Million |
| Sunday 14th April | 7:00pm | $320 | #70-H | $1 Million |
Players without sufficiently deep pockets to support big buy-ins also have their own Main Events to get involved in At the same time as the final two Championship Events get underway, there will also be a $55.00 buy-in PKO 8-Max tournament with a $200,000 guarantee and an $11.00 buy-in tournament with the same format carrying a $50,000 guarantee (neither award winners´ trophies).
Win a Powerfest Ticket in the Special Spins Promotion
We wrote last week how Party Poker´s three-handed, hyper-turbo Spins games appear to be the “[geolink href=”https://www.pokernewsreport.com/a-massive-spinstorm-about-to-strike-at-party-poker-23243″]game du jour[/geolink]” at present; and the site has not overlooked the opportunity to take advantage of the games´ popularity by putting on a special Powerfest Spins promotion. In this promotion, players have the choice of two buy-in levels – $5 and $50 – with the chance of winning one of the following prizes:
| Powerfest Spins | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| $5 Buy-in | $50 buy-in | ||
| Multiplier | Prize | Multiplier | Prize |
| 2x | $10 Cash | 2x | $100 Cash |
| 4x | $20 Cash | 4x | $200 Cash |
| 6.6x | $33 Powerfest Ticket | 10.6x | $530 Powerfest Ticket |
| 11x | $55 Powerfest Ticket | 21x | $1,050 Powerfest Ticket |
| 21.8x | $109 Powerfest Ticket | 104x | $5,200 Powerfest Ticket |
| 64x | $320 Powerfest Ticket | 206x | $10,300 Powerfest Ticket |
| 106x | $530 Powerfest Ticket | 510x | $25,500 Powerfest Ticket |
Although the chance of the top prize being drawn is one-in-a-million, the frequency at which the lower value ticket prizes will be drawn is not that bad. However, one important point to note is that, if you win a Powerfest ticket in the Spins promotion, you have to use it by the 14th April or you will lose it. There are no cash alternatives or exchanges allowed.
