Grand Prix KO Summer Edition

The Grand Prix KO Summer Edition Main Event, and its mini equivalent, are in full swing with hundreds of PartyPoker players already punched their Day 2 tickets. Now it’s time to put your skills to the test and see how much of the whopping $500,000 guaranteed prize pool you can get your hands on. It is your time to shine.

Although there are plenty of Days 1s running up to and including August 29, you don’t want to leave entering the Grand Prix KO Summer Edition Main Event until the last minute. Why? Because you want to give yourself the best chance of building a massive stack that will be the envy of your foes! If your silky skills help you progress to Day 2, but you aren’t happy with your stack, simply jump into another Day 1 and try again; there’s always room for improvement, even when you are already a true balla. Should you navigate your way to Day 2 more than once, only your largest stack goes through.

There are six Grand Prix KO Summer Edition Main Event Day 1s every day, running every couple of hours from 14:30 BST. We know our players love to get their grind on at the weekends, so there is an additional flight at 12:30 BST on Saturday and Sunday. Don’t overdo the partying on Friday, so you’re fresh for the weekend battles!

Each Day 1 ends when only 15% of the field remains, with those 15% bagging and tagging only to return to their seats on August 29. The completed Day 1s so far are taking around three hours to conclude, meaning you could easily play a few each night and still get plenty of beauty sleep, not that you need it, you gorgeous people!

Reigning Champion Took Home $51,356

Argentina’s Augusto Hagen is the reigning Main Event champion having bulldozed his way to the Winter edition earlier this year. Hagen saw his $109 investment swell to celebration-inducing $51,356 thank, in part, to banking more than $18,132 worth of bounties along the way. Nobody could handle Hagen, will they be able to handle your moves? There’s only one way to find out.
