Partypoker Revs Up POWERFEST With $1 Million Main Event

Partypoker’s POWERFEST returns this week, running April 9-27 with the $1,050 offering a $1 million guarantee and three starting flights.

Some big energy returns to partypoker this week with the site’s signature POWERFEST running April 9-27. The featured three-day $1,050 Main Event runs April 24-27 with a $1 million guarantee and three starting flights.

Once again, partypoker is emphasizing its goal of creating another series with opportunities for online poker players of all bankrolls.

“It’s great to have POWERFEST returning to the series schedule,” partypoker’s head of poker room management Chris Donnachie said in a news release. “We have stayed true to the DNA of the series, ensuring it’s accessible and exciting for all buy-in levels and, as always, has multiple ways for players to qualify for less.”

Previewing the partypoker POWERFEST schedule

Players looking to jump in the POWERFEST action will find buy-ins ranging from $1.10 to $25,500. Satellites start at just $0.11, allowing players of all levels the opportunity to battle for the biggest prizes.

The series kicks off with four big opening events with nice guarantees including:=

$2.20 Micro Opener – $5,000 guaranteed
$22 Mini Opener – $50,000 guaranteed
$215 Opener – $200,000 guaranteed
$2,100 High Roller Opener – $500,000 guaranteed

Each opener features multiple starting flights. To ensure players compete on a level playing field, only one re-entry is allowed per flight.

For the Main Event, there will also be Mini and Micro versions. The $109 Mini features a $250,000 guarantee. The $11 Micro guarantees $50,000.

All Main Event champions also receive a trophy to mark their achievement. PartypokerTV, partypoker’s Twitch channel, will also stream the $1,050 Main Event final table.

In last year’s POWERFEST, the eight Main Events smashed their guarantees. The tournaments attracted a total prize pool of $2.4 million, comfortably beating the guarantee of $1.6 million.

“Executioner_” won the largest Main Event prize, banking $118,682 in the $500,000 guaranteed Main Event.

Other partypoker POWERFEST highlights

There are numerous other major events to look forward to in this year’s festival. The Big Fifty and Big Fifty Knockout should be popular.

The Big Fifty features a $55 buy-in and $300,000 guarantee. The event comes with 11 starting flights before Day 2, with a winner crowned on April 20.

The Big Fifty Knockout begins on April 19 with a $55 buy-in and $500,000 guarantee. The event comes with eight starting flights before the final day on April 26.

This year, the POWERFEST Main Event champion will be crowned on the last day of the series. However, that won’t be the only event winner that day.

The $530 Closer wraps up the series with $150,000 guaranteed. Mini and Micro versions also can feature $55 and $5.50 buy-ins.

Real names will be used in all events with a buy-in of more than $1,050. All other tournaments will show player aliases. Here’s a look at the complete schedule:

Partypoker launches special SPINS for series

Along with a massive tournament schedule, players can also take a shot in special SPINS games throughout the series. These fast-paced, three-handed Sit & Go games offer a chance at large random prizes.

During POWERFEST, players can buy in for $10. The SPINS multiplier then determines the size of the prize pool – paid out in tournament tickets.

Players could potentially play for 210 times their buy-in – meaning a chance to win a $2,100 POWERFEST ticket in minutes.
