PARTYPOKER LIVE


$5,000,000 prize pool – and both events were phenomenally successful and attracted players from around the world. At least a thousand players attended each of these events and both guarantees were effectively hit (we were one player short in Sochi Russia at 999). partypoker MILLION events have been run in Canada, UK, Germany and Russia and have all surpassed our expectations. There have been three Grand Prix events in Ireland (Dublin, Killarney and Cork) along with events in Austria, Germany, UK and Canada. Details of all the events can be found on https://www.partypoker.com/live/
