The 2018 Caribbean Poker Party Kicks off with $25,500 MILLIONS World
The 2018 Caribbean Poker Party has found a new home this year at the Baha Mar Resort in the beautiful Bahamas. Along with the new destination comes a whopping $10 million guaranteed Main Event that will take place over the course of eight days. However, the opening day belongs to the $25,500 MILLIONS World event that will attract the best players from around the world.
This exclusive Super High Roller event is set to become one of the biggest tournaments of its kind ever. While it comes with a larger buy-in, it also boasts the same $10 million guaranteed prizepool. Satellites have been running for nearly three months on partypoker to give players of all kinds a chance to enter the field for as little as $0.01. That also makes the tournament more lucrative for the pros who have been making their way to the island in waves.
Some of the partypoker team that has been seen already include Kristen Bicknell, Ludovic Geilich, Isaac Haxton, Bruno Fitoussi, Anatoly Filatov, Sam Trickett, and chairman Mike Sexton. There will be many other big names in the field to make this one event you won't want to miss.
The action is scheduled to get underway at 12:00pm inside the convention center where the partypoker crew has taken over with poker tables filling the room. Each player will start with 1,000,000 chips when they take to the felt with the blinds beginning at 2,000/5,000 and a 5,000 button ante. The levels will be 60 minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every two levels. A 60-minute dinner break is scheduled after the sixth level of the day.
There will be two Day 1s available for the players with each of them allowing one re-entry. Late registration will remain open for 12 levels which carries into Day 2 as only eight levels will be played on Day 1. Multiple satellites will be running regularly over the course of the next three days with at least 23 seats guaranteed.
