POWERFEST Highlights
This series sees the return of the $25,500 Super High Roller event with an increased guarantee to $5,000,000. The previous POWERFEST Super High Roller saw 129 entries play for their share of the September’s $3,000,000 guarantee. In the end two players remained for the final $1,273,552 of the prize pool. “Chelsea72” and “juanpardo99”, the heads-up duo, agreed to a deal that saw Chelsea72 win $613,485 and juanpardo99 walk away with $660,067. The $5,000,000 guaranteed May edition will see the likes of partypoker ambassadors Joao Simao and Sam Trickett take to the tables.
partypoker ambassador Patrick Leonard said: “I’ve been more heavily involved in this POWERFEST scheduling than ever before. There is a lot of consistent logic throughout giving the most varied, exciting and fun POWERFEST schedule since partypoker’s resurrection a few years ago. There are more 6-Max events, more PLO, more High Rollers but also buy-ins for all bankrolls and most importantly lots of chances of glory. I don’t think I’ll take a day off over the two weeks.”
