The Grand Prix KO Winter Edition was a roaring success, with PartyPoker players worldwide padding their bankrolls with sizable scores from the festival’s events. Now it is time to prepare for the Grand Prix KO Summer Edition<\/strong><\/a> where the only thing hotter than the weather outside is the tournament action online at PartyPoker<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

It features 14 numbered events that have buy-ins from $5.50 up to $320<\/strong>, and guaranteed prize pools worth up to red hot $500,000.

$500,000 Guaranteed Main Event<\/h2>\n

Of course, no festival worth its salt would be complete without a Main Event, and the Grand Prix KO Summer Edition has two of them.<\/p>\n

Event #05 is the $109 buy-in Main Event<\/strong> that comes with at least $500,000<\/strong> in its prize pool. The winter edition of this tournament<\/a> saw almost 900 players cash for a share of more than $600,000. Argentina’s Augusto Hagen<\/strong> defeated Denmark’s Adam Jakobsen<\/strong> to secure a combined first place prize worth $51,356. No doubt Hagen will be among the thousands of entrants in the summer series’ Main Event.<\/p>\n

Running alongside the $109 Main Event is an $11 Mini Main Event<\/strong>, which is only mini in name because its prize pool is guaranteed to reach $100,000<\/strong>. Both the Main Event and its Mini Main Event companion’s flights have the same 12 levels of late registration, single re-entry, and the same blind structure<\/a>. The only difference is the $109 players play to an eight-minute clock while the Mini Main Event blinds increase every seven minutes.<\/p>\n

Satellites From Online $0.01<\/h2>\n

We want as many PartyPoker players as possible to enjoy the thrill of playing such prestigious events<\/strong>, so we are running dozens upon dozens of satellites throughout the Grand Prix KO Summer Edition.
