Those looking for some time at the beach and a nice tropical drink may have to break out their own blender this year. Partypoker’s Caribbean Poker Party is back in November – minus the trip to the Bahamas.
The site has announced final plans for this year’s series, which has been moved online for Nov. 15-25. The series features 10 events with an overall guarantee of more than $10 million.
“We’re obviously all bitterly disappointed that there’s not going to be a live version of the Caribbean Poker Party this year,” partypoker Live President John Duthie said, “but get your trunks and shades, put a bit of fake tan on, pour yourself a drink and join us all for the Caribbean Poker Party Online; mine’s a piña colada!”

Partypoker Caribbean Poker Party highlights
The Caribbean Poker Party has become a popular stop since partypoker Live debuted the festival in 2016.
Adrian Mateos won last year’s $10,300 Main Event for $1.1 million. This came after the Spanish poker superstar also clinched the $25,500 Super High Roller for $520,464.
This year, the online version of the Main Event has been reduced to $5,300 with a guaranteed $5 million. That price point should attract quite a field judging b other recent series.
Day 1A of the Main Event will take place on the first day of the festival, Nov. 15. Day 1B is then set for Nov. 22.
With those starting flights wrapped up, there will be three more days of action to reach a winner. Here’s a look at the Main Event schedule.

Plenty of other events at partypoker
Along with the Main Event, there are numerous other events for every bankroll. Partypoker is fresh off a huge event co-produced with the World Poker Tour that paid out more than $100 million.
The Caribbean Poker Party may not produce those numbers, but offers another nice international series. It becomes the latest huge festival as online poker surges around the world.
Along with some of the main events, there are also some mini and micro buy-in tournaments. A few of the series highlights include:
- $1,050 The Opener PKO (Nov. 13) – $500,000 guarantee

Plenty of satellites and promotions planned
The site is again hoping to offer players of all bankrolls an opportunity to get in the action. Players will find many ways to qualify for the Main Event, with an extensive satellite program already running.
Additionally, 10 players will win a seat for a maximum of only $55 each week. Party is also offering multiple entry points into phases, and players can try to qualify just a single cent. Satellites are already underway.
It is a big few months for partypoker, which is also running the Monster Series and Irish Poker Masters in November and December.
