Our first-ever live Mystery Bounty event gets the show on the road on July 18, and we cannot wait to see you all enjoying yourselves in this popular format. Mystery Bounty tournaments work like a traditional bounty event but the bounty prizes remain secret until they are drawn from the hat; you never know how much you will win!

The €550 buy-in €500,000 guaranteed PartyPoker LIVE Grand Prix is the tournament every poker player wants to win. Running from July 19-23, the Grand Prix features six starting flights, including a last chance turbo-structured Day 1.

Grand Prix players sit down with a generous starting stack of 40,000 chips. Should your first bullet not go to plan, you can re-enter once per flight up to the end of the ninth level, which means it is worthwhile grinding the live and online satellites for the Grand Prix.

Grand Prix Bratislava Online Satellites

We are making it possible to qualify for the Grand Prix Bratislava online at PartyPoker for as little as €0.01 That’s correct, some of you will be jetting off to Slovakia to complete for a slice of the €500,000 guaranteed prize pool having invested only your time and €0.01 of your bankroll!

The online satellites will become available very soon, giving you the chance to win Grand prix Main Event packages worth €1,500, which include the Grand Prix buy-in, hotel accommodation, and spending money.

You’ll also able to play your way into a VIP package valued at €5,000. It includes entries to the Grand Prix and €3,000 High Roller, airport transfers, accommodation, and cold, hard cash!

Stay tuned to the PartyPoker Blog and our social media channels for more online satellite news.

Big Buy-in Events

Although there are side events with buy-ins starting at €150, it is the tournaments at the higher end of the buy-in scale that are sure to garner the attention of the poker community; it’s only natural.

July 20-21 sees us run the Euro Omaha Championship, which with a buy-in of €2,500 makes it one of the biggest Pot-Limit Omaha tournaments of the year. Lovers of four hole cards will lock horns and butt heads as they attempt to capture the lion’s share of the €100,000 guaranteed prize pool.

There is also a €3,000 High Roller running July 22-23 that comes with a cool €200,000 guarantee on its prize pool. Of course, live satellites for both of these high-stakes events will be plentiful, giving you the chance to win your way into them for a fraction of the tournaments’ actual cost.
