Just because there are a lot of Jackpots hit during big poker festivals doesn’t mean that’s the ONLY time they are won. A regular Wednesday night is clearly a fine time for a Jackpot as well – just ask the players on Table 3 in the Original poker room. The table was full and the button was on seat 5 when the action began. The player in seat 6 had just sat down and chose to buy the button, putting in the small and big blinds, and the cards were dealt.

The flop was dealt with 6 players still in the hand. Flop: Action checked around on the flop, and then the turn was […]

As a player, joining the partypoker community comes with a big advantage: your voice is heard! On social media and at partypoker LIVE events, players have been talking about certain features of the online tournament structures that do not contribute to a viable poker ecology, and partypoker was listening. This feedback was digested and is now leading to some very positive changes. These changes started making their way to the partypoker felts last Sunday, and will continue to be gradually implemented throughout the month of August until the whole tournament schedule – the Power Series –  is revamped. The changes: All bounty tournaments become freezeouts Far fewer permitted re-entries on most MTTs No re-entries on Fast and Turbo events Reduced late registration periods (maximum 2 hours) “Smooth” structure implemented (maximum 10% cost-per-round increase) The obvious and positive consequence will be in the average tournament duration. The reduced re-entries and late […]
