Grand Prix KO Series Heads Back to partypoker From Sep. 19

The Grand Prix KO Series returns to partypoker from September 19, creating yet more chances for all our players to win prestigious poker titles. Each of the scheduled events is played with a Progressive KO format, meaning you can win plenty of money even if you do not cash in the tournament itself.

The series is the online version of the partypoker LIVE Grand Prix and runs from September 19 through to October 4, 2021. This latest series follows the success of the first Grand Prix KO Series earlier in the summer. Head to the partypoker tournament lobby and you will find 16 numbered progressive knockout events with buy-ins ranging from $5.50 to $530, meaning there is something on offer for players of all skill and bankroll levels.

Events are structured in a way to accommodate players in different time zones, nobody will miss out on the chance to become a Grand Prix KO Series champion. Furthermore, anyone reaching Day 2 in any of the 16 events is guaranteed at least a min-cash from the tournament’s main prize pool.

$500,000 Guaranteed Main Event

Keep your diary free from September 26 because that is the day the $109 buy-in Grand Prix KO Series Main Event shuffles up and deals. The Main Event comes with a guaranteed prize pool tipping the scales at an impressive $500,000. Do not worry if the $109 Main Event buy-in is outside the constraints of your bankroll because you can play your way into it from as little as $0.01 thanks to our centroll tournaments.

Several Day 1s are scheduled, including Turbo and Hyper flights, with the final day’s action taking place on October 4.

Germany’s Sasa Lukovic is the reigning Grand Prix KO Series Main Event champion. Lukovic came out on top of a 5,407-strong field to claim a total prize worth $50,159, made up of a $30,199 main prize pool and an additional $20,040 worth of bounty payments.

Other Notable Events

The Mini Main Event, which carries a $100,000 guarantee for a buy-in of just $11, is one of many series highlights. Other events to look out for include Mini 6-Max, where for a buy-in of $5.50, you compete for a share of a $50,000 guarantee. The $55 buy-in 6-Max comes with a guarantee of $250,000. High rollers among you can jump into the $530 6-Max High Roller, which provides a $500,000 guarantee.

Team partypoker’s Louise Butler said: “The Grand Prix KO Series is designed to be fun for everyone. With buy-ins from $5.50 to $530, all players have a chance to win a title. The player-friendly structures for different time zones mean players can run deep and still get a good night’s sleep! I’m most looking forward to the Main Event and the 6-Max events, and I can’t wait for the series to start.”
