“There were over 2500 entries in last season’s partypoker WPT National UK. It proves what we set out to achieve, bringing more people into the game at various levels of buy-ins”, comments John Scanlon, Poker Manager at Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City.  “Following on from our first event in February we have also confirmed £200,000 guarantees at partypoker WPT National Newcastle April 30- May 3 and partypoker WPT National London July 30- August 2.”

partypoker pro Tony Dunst has confirmed he is flying from America just to play the event at Aspers Stratford. “I’ve visited the U.K. before but never played any poker there; I’m looking forward to my first chance in doing so at WPT National. I’ll be there trying to win all the pounds, and hold down the ping-pong table. Come and attempt to beat me at the partypoker lounge.”

The partypoker WPT National UK £600 Main Event is split into three £200 flights. Players have the option to buy-in to one, two or all three of the Day 1 flights. At the end of each flight chips will be bagged and moved forward to Day 2. All chips from each flight are accumulated to give players their total starting stack for Day 2.

Daily qualifiers are online at partypoker now. Players can either win seat only or packages for the Main Event.  Satellites run daily at 14:45 (Seat Only) and Sundays at 14:45 (Package).
