Fresh off of a very successful World Poker Tour World Online Championships last month, partypoker is hosting a WPTDeepStacks series from October 7 – 25.
The highlight of the nine-event schedule is the $1,100 buy-in WPTDeepStacks Main Event which comes with a $1 million guarantee. The first three starting flights each run on the next three Sundays (October 10, 17, 24) with the final shot for players to advance to Day 2 running as a Turbo event on Monday, October 25.
Buy-ins for the other eight events range from $11 all the way to $5,200 and come with an additional $1.8 million in guarantees.
Things gets underway on Thursday, October 7 with a pair of events. Event #1 Opener is a $215 No Limit Hold’em event with a $200,000 guarantee. Players with a smaller bankroll can take their shot in Event #2 Mini Opener, which features a $75,000 guarantee for a $22 buy-in.
Sunday, October 10 promises to be the busiest day of the festival. Along with the first starting flight of the Main Event, players can also jump into the first flight of Event #4 Mini Main Event which has a $109 buy-in and a $200,000 guarantee. Along with those, players can also choose from Event #5 Turbo Knockout ($109 buy-in, $300,000 guarantee), Event #6 Mini Turbo Knockout ($11 buy-in, $100,000 guarantee), and the single biggest buy-in available, Event #7 High Roller which is $5,200 to enter and $500,000 guaranteed.
The final two events to start both begin on Sunday, October 17. Event #8 Closer is a $320 buy-in with a $300,000 guarantee and Event #9 Mini Closer is a $33 buy-in and a $150,000 guarantee. Both events will be action-packed as they play under the PKO format.
