Value-packed Grand Prix Poker Tour Announced

Following the roaring success of the Grand Prix Million, partypoker is delighted to announce the launch of the Grand Prix Poker Tour, a series of affordable buy-in tournaments with huge guarantees taking place at iconic football grounds around the United Kingdom.

partypoker’s commitment to grassroots poker continues to bear fruit for the UK poker community with this amazing Grand Prix Poker Tour. Each leg features an affordable buy-in of £60+£10 yet has a large guaranteed prize pool to play for, £250,000 for each of the first three legs.

2015-16 Grand Prix Poker Tour Schedule

The poker tour for the people

After consulting with players and listening to their valued feedback, we believe that the Grand Prix Poker Tour is the poker tour for the people.

While each leg features multiple starting flights, these Day 1’s are played as freezeouts – once you bust, you bust. You can, however, buy into as many Day 1’s as you wish, but doing so forfeits any stack you progressed to Day 2 with previously.

Playing in the Grand Prix Poker Tour gives you the opportunity to try the superb blind structure used on the World Poker Tour, except it only costs you £70 to do so. Levels are 30-minutes long in the live legs and 12-minutes long in the online legs, with play being rolled back two levels on Day 2 to ensure there is plenty of room to manoeuvre at the business end of the tournament.

Introducing Players Choice

The Grand Prix Poker Tour sees a brand new type of Day 1 that we’re calling Players Choice. Play in one of these online Day 1’s and make it through to the end of play to be able to choose which Day 2 you want to play. So long as the Day 2 is within the next 12 months, you can choose to play it.

This gives you the ultimate flexibility as to when and where you want to play your Day 2. It also means you can qualify for as many Day 2s as you wish and book your places in Day 2s across the tour’s calendar.
