partypoker’s Powerfest Series Offering Same Prize Money As WCOOP

PartyPoker has over $60 million in guaranteed prize money ready to be won during this year’s “Powerfest” online poker series. The online poker series is scheduled to take place between September 2nd to 21st.

PartyPoker’s Powerfest will be running at the same time as PokerStars will be holding their World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) which boasts a $70 million prize pool and over 60 separate events. Despite PartyPoker’s flagship event competing with the WCOOP, this ninth annual Powerfest should go down as PartyPoker’s largest and most successful event in their history.

This will be a feast for online poker pros who will have a great selection between WCOOP and the Powerfest series with over $100 million in guaranteed prize money up for grabs.

PartyPoker’s premiere event will feature 670 events which have buy-ins ranging from $1.10 all the way up to $25,500. Players can also win their Powerfest entries for as little as a penny through the many online satellites that are currently underway. This three-week-long series will see plenty of high-value tournaments that have massive prize pools.
