It is only a couple of months since “PriaKids” came out on top in the PartyPoker Grand Prix Spring Main Event and turned their $55 investment into $39,607. Now “PriaKids” and thousands of other budding poker tournament grinders are flocking to PartyPoker for the Grand Prix Summer series.
Grand Prix Summer runs from June 29 through July 17, and features a dozen numbered events, each with affordable buy-ins yet juicy guaranteed prize pools. Dozens of other tournaments are running alongside these numbered events, making for a fortnight of intense poker action at the PartyPoker virtual felt.
A trio of Opener PKO events gets the Grand Prix Summer off to a flying start. They come with buy-ins of $1.10, $5.50, and $33, and guarantees worth $1,500, $10,000, and an impressive $50,000. These three events, indeed all the numbered tournaments, have multiple Day 1s so you have plenty of chances to get in on the action.
You will also find three Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo PKO Championship events, a trio of Pot-Limit Omaha PKO Championship events, and, of course, three must-play Main Events.
The Main Events come with three buy-in levels: $2.20, $11, and $55. For those accessible amounts, you’ll play for a share of a guaranteed $5,000, $40,000, and $150,000, respectively.
