partypoker launched its Hot Tables feature on April 11 and it has proven extremely popular thus far. Even more of the site’s cash game and fastforward players can experience the excitement of being at a Hot Table thanks to partypoker adding three new stakes to the roster.
There are now seven different stakes where Hot Tables can trigger courtesy of partypoker adding $0.01/$0.02, $0.02/$0.05, and $1/$2 cash games and fastforward tables to the feature. Trigger one of the Hot Tables at the $1/$2 tables, hit the biggest prize, and $1,000 is all your in addition to the pot you win.
Four members of Team partypoker, Joao Simao, Patrick Leonard, Jaime Staples, and Isaac Haxton, have made it into the money in the WPT-enhanced version of The Grand this weekend. None of them are sitting on a top stack, but all three are still in the running with 38 players left.
Haxton is on top of the ambassador heap with a top 20 stack and around 7 million.
Jerry Wong was the bubble in WPT Grand with a 48th place finish. That leaves the remaining 47 players guaranteed at least $2,255, but there's almost $60,000 up top for the win, with $194,283 of the $308,994 prize pool still to play for on the final table.
The final feature game today, WPT 7-Max Turbo Knockout, has just closed registration with 159 total entries. That meant they were a bit over $20,000 short of the $100,000 guarantee. A total of 27 players will get paid in this one, and there are 85 left.
Rob Yong has just confirmed on Twitter that legendary live cardroom Dusk till Dawn poker club in Nottingham, UK will re-open in Oct/Nov. However, due to all the ongoing uncertainty piled onto the effects of the last 18 months, for the duration of 2021 it will remain at "soft open" status.
Liam Mellon was the bubble spot in WPT Super $530, leaving the rest of the 55 players in the money. Mellon didn't waste his day for a bubble though as he picked up $812 in bounties along way, enough for a small profit on the $530 buy-in.
They are still two from the money in WPT Grand, while WPT Super $55 is down under 200 left.
The WPT Super $55 didn't stop for the bubble. They blew through the bubble without a break, and are now down to 231 players left, already into the 8th playout level.
Both WPT Grand and WPT Super $530 are now two from the money with 49 and 57 players left respectively.
The Daily Legends tournaments at partypoker have proven to be hugely popular thanks to their player-friendly formats. partypoker has slashed the late registration period, limited re-entries, and devised a structure that allows players to head to bed at a reasonable time without turning the tournament into a crap shoot.
Now is the time to try out some of those Daily Legends tournaments because partypoker has launched its Legend of the Week promotion that adds $60,000 worth of value to its Daily Legends schedule every week.
Legend of the Week sees you earn points for playing in selected Daily Legends tournaments from Monday through Saturday. Points are awarded for playing the eligible tournaments, but you earn far more by reaching a final table or by going all the way and becoming a Daily Legends champion.
