Welcome to the latest edition of the PartyPoker Weekly, your one-stop shop for all matters that are PartyPoker related.

Win 1 of 50 Seats to the Weekly $300K Guaranteed Tournament
PartyPoker's flagship tournament is a $215 buy-in event that boasts a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool. For some players, $215 is too much to invest in a single tournament, but thanks to the 50-Seat Frenzy, you could be participating for free in the $300,000!
Every Saturday at 13:35 ET, a special 50-Seat Frenzy tournament awards the top 50 finishers seats in the $300,000 guaranteed. Players can buy into the 50-Seat Frenzy directly for $15 or try to qualify in one of the daily country-specific freerolls where the top 10 players win seats.
There are also daily $1 and $2 50-Seat Frenzy qualifiers running on PartyPoker.
The $300,000 Guaranteed Sunday kicks off at 18:30 ET every Sunday and pays the eventual winner around $40,000. Can you imagine winning $40,000 from a freeroll entry? How amazing would that be? Download PartyPoker today and get involved in the 50-Seat Frenzy.
Pros React to Mike Sexton's Comments on Having a Dress Code for Poker
Poker legend and PartyPoker-sponsored pro Mike Sexton is not afraid to speak his mind, and why should he be? Sexton has vast experience in poker and has quite literally seen it all. In the past few months, Sexton has asked for a basketball-type shot clock to be introduced to the game, has made some bold predictions for 2013 and even stated that there should be a dress code for poker players.
At the World Poker Tour Prague Main Event, the PartyPoker video crew questioned a few of the competing professional players about what they thought of Sexton's dress-code comments.

Roll with the Punches and Win Heavyweight Prizes in the Contenders Promotion
The Contenders promotion that started on Jan. 1 has proven extremely popular, so far. Each month the promotion runs, someone walks away with the lion's share of $12,000 and bragging rights over his or her peers.
This exciting promotion revolves around six freerolls, which have prize pools ranging from $2,000 to an impressive $12,000. Gaining access to the freerolls is a simple task: Earn the required number of points (as shown in the table below) and a seat to the following month's freeroll tournament will be awarded.
| Weight Class | Points Requirement | Prize Pool |
|---|---|---|
| Heavyweight | 1,000 | $12,000 |
| Cruiserweight | 500 | $10,000 |

| Welterweight | 100 | $5,000 |

In addition to the freeroll entries, PartyPoints earned for this promotion also count towards a player's VIP status and can be used to purchase gifts and bonuses in the PartyPoker shop.
