Live poker has seen a rebirth and partypoker continues working to cater to players of all interests and bankrolls. The company announced several events on Thursday with both live and online events playing a major role.
This site already introduced several online-live hybrid series over the last several months. That format has included the Grand Prix UK, Irish Open, partypoker Championship Malta, and partypoker Championship UK.
The company announced even more series on the horizon Thursday including further Grand Prix and MILLIONS events. All give players the chance to enter the series in the environment that best fits their schedule.
“It has been immensely enjoyable to provide players with chances to play in the ideal environment for them this year, and with many more events to come, there should be no shortage of fun for partypoker players for the rest of this year,” partypoker head of poker room management Chris Donnachie said in a news release.
“We want to offer all types of series to suit all types of players, and I look forward to welcoming partypoker players across several festivals going forward.”

Partypoker Grand Prix UK & Summer Edition
The online-live format returns for the latest Grand Prix UK this month. Online events are currently underway with the $55 Online Warm Up ($150,000 guaranteed) highlighting the first week.
After the online portion of the schedule plays out, the action shifts to Dusk Till Dawn casino May 19. The £150 Main Event then gets underway with £150,000 guarantee with the first of five live starting flights.
However, online starting flights are also planned for May 15 and 16. The second and final day of the Main Event is then set for May 22 on the last day of the series.
Online satellites are running daily on partypoker with qualifiers starting at just $0.01 for the Online Warm Up. Main Event satellites are also available for just £0.01.
Grand Prix events are designed to give recreational players a chance to win major prizes. The two-day weekend allows most players to compete without taking any time off work.
The Grand Prix Summer Edition is also now planned for online players, running Aug. 4-23. The $162 Main Event features a $500,000 guarantee with centroll satellites planned ahead of the series.
More MILLIONS series coming soon
Partypoker LIVE’s premium brand returns soon to Spain and new United Kingdom and online versions are also ahead. MILLIONS Europe heads to Casino Barcelona June 2-12.
Once again online centroll satellites are a major part of the Main Event. This is the first opportunity for players to win a MILLIONS Main Event title in a live venue since January 2020. Anton Suarez claimed that MILLIONS UK title for a $1 million payday.
The tour returns to the UK later this year with Dusk Till Dawn hosting MILLIONS UK Nov. 30 – Dec. 6. Players can expect a £3,300 Main Event with plenty of side events as well.
Online players aren’t left out of the MILLIONS action either. The first MILLIONS Online KO Edition is currently running through May 31.
A special feature of the festival is a schedule made up entirely of progressive knockout (PKO) events. That’s a first for a MILLIONS series. The $1,050 Main Event guarantees $1 million and players can still enter the satellite tree for $0.01.
Another MILLIONS Online KO Edition is also in the works, running Sept. 4-27. This is also highlighted by a The $1,050 Main Event guarantees $1 million
Another MILLIONS Online series rounds out the year from Dec. 4-21. Players can expect a $3,200 Main Event with $3 million guaranteed.
WCOAP gets back in action
The World Championship of Amateur Poker (WCOAP) makes a comeback this year at Dusk Till Dawn in June. The series is held in association with the Amateur Poker Association and Tour.
This is the first live WCOAP at the property since 2013 and the series runs June 29 – July 3.
“Offering a fun, friendly and sociable atmosphere, this will be the perfect chance for amateur players to enjoy a moment in the spotlight,” partypoker notes of the festival.
Freezeouts with sensible finishing times are planned for the series as well as:
- team events
- tag teams
- heads-up tournaments
The £150 Main Event includes three starting flights and players can buy into events via partypoker holding tanks, LuxonPay, and at the Dusk Till Dawn cash desk. An online leg is expected to be part of the series, but those details haven’t been determined yet.
