Caribbean Poker Party Moves Online; $5M Gtd Main Event Scheduled

partypoker will move this year’s Caribbean Poker Party online, where players can join the action for as little as $0.01.

The Caribbean Poker Party Online Main Event will run from Sunday, November 15, 2020, to Wednesday, November 25, 2020. The Main Event has a buy-in of $5,300 and will pay out a guaranteed $5,000,000.

There will be many chances for players to win their place in the event before then though, as an extensive satellite program is already running and 10 players will win their seat in the tournament every week for a maximum of $55. Players are being offered multiple entry points into phases, and can even join the action with just a single cent.

Day 1A of the Main Event will take place on the first day of the festival, with Day 1B being held on Sunday, November 22, before three more days of action will decide the tournament. The Main Event champion will be crowned on the last day of the series.

The full side event schedule will be announced shortly. The current schedule can be seen here.

Adrian Mateos was the star of the show at last year’s Caribbean Poker Party, as he came out on top of a field of 948 players to win the Main Event and claim the first place prize of $1,062,805. This came after Mateos clinched the Super High Roller for $520,464.

partypoker Live President John Duthie said: “We’re obviously all bitterly disappointed that there’s not going to be a live version of the Caribbean Poker Party this year, but get your trunks and shades, put a bit of fake tan on, pour yourself a drink and join us all for the Caribbean Poker Party Online; mine’s a piña colada!”
