Four-time world champion boxer Carl Froch joined the partypoker team as a brand ambassador earlier this week and to help celebrate the revamped Party poker tournament schedule. Gone are the Daily, Saturday and Sunday Majors, in comes the all-new, all-singing and dancing Power Series poker tournament!
There are more than 150 multi-table tournaments each week, and this huge selection have combined guaranteed prize pools of more than $1,600,000. Buy-ins start as low as $2.20 and increase to $1,050, meaning there is a tournament for everyone at partypoker regardless of the size of their bankroll – we are the poker site for the people!
You will see tournaments in the partypoker lobby under one of six categories, each renamed with a boxing theme to help Froch feel at home! The categories are:
| Category | Buy-ins | Weekly tournaments | Total guaranteed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Featherweight | $2.20 – $11 | 39 | $106,500 |
| Middleweight | $22 – $55 | 66 | $375,000 |
| Heavyweight | $109 | 35 | $700,000 |
| High Rollers | $350 – $1,050 | 4 | $185,000 |
| Ticket Brawls | $5.50 – $55 | 10 | 530 x $109 tickets to give away |
| Tickets | $0.01 and up | Running all day | Satellite into any event you like |
Each of the categories has a marquee event that has a bumper guarantee attached to it from the $5.50 buy-in $5,000 guaranteed Jab, up to the $109 buy-in $150,000 guaranteed Main Event. Tickets can be bought in the loyalty store for any event, giving you the opportunity to play in some massive tournaments essentially for free.
