The next major tournament series to be hosted on the partypoker US network is just a few days away. Running from December 13 until December 20, 2020, the Player's Choice Series features $120,900 in guaranteed prize pools across eight tournaments across the network which consists of partypoker NJ, BetMGM and Borgata Poker.

— World Poker Tour (@WPT) September 22, 2020 Sinshtaj is no stranger to success in both WPT and Borgata events. One of the top three payouts of Sinshtaj's career came in a $400 No Limit Hold'em event at the 2017 Borgata Summer Open, which Sinshtaj took down for a $95,000 score. The casino that builds poker superstars has narrowed down the near 1200 starting competitors to the surviving four on the final table that is full of surprises. The third and final hour of WPT's extended coverage is coming to a climactic conclusion at the Borgata Poker Open which means there's not long left before an eminent champion is named. Kimberly Lansing anchors the intense.

A Players Choice event was first seen on partypoker NJ back in 2014 when it featured a $15,000 guarantee. However, this is the first time that players were able to vote on the specific formats for an entire tournament series in the Garden State.

Players were invited to cast their vote on all eight events including the game type, the number of players per table, and the buy-in.

The polls on Twitter were spearheaded by partypoker NJ and Borgata Poker sponsored pro Michael 'Gags30' Gagliano. Players had the opportunity to vote on the partypoker NJ Discord channel until November 11 as well.

WPT Online Poker Open Main Event Satellite Tickets Added

As an added bonus, the partypoker US Network will provide a $400 satellite entry for the WPT Online Poker Open Main Event to the top five finishers in three events: Event #4 PLO 6-Max, Event #7 $20k PKO and Event #8 Sunday $40k.

The WPT Online Poker Open $3500 Main Event will take place from December 27 to 29. With a guaranteed prize pool of $1 million, it is slated to create the biggest prize pool in partypoker NJ history.

The previous record was created during the WPT Borgata Online Series in September 2020, which awarded a total of $917,300 in prize money throughout 10 events. A record-setting $432,700 was paid out in the $1060 buy-in Main Event.

Available Tournament Formats

The buy-in for all eight tournaments, of which one each takes place across eight consecutive days, ranges from $55 to $320 and six of the eight events boast a guarantee. Four tournaments are held as vanilla No Limit Hold'em tournaments, there is one Heads-Up event with a cap of 64 entries, and one Pot Limit Omaha 6-Max Event.

Furthermore, two events feature the popular Progressive Knockout (PKO) format in which half of the buy-in goes to the bounty prize pool and will be awarded instantly for each opponent eliminated.

Two Guaranteed Sunday Events

The festival kicks off on Sunday, December 13 with the Players Choice Series Event #1 which features a guaranteed prize pool of $35,000. Compared to the regular schedule, the buy-in has been cut in half to $109 as voted on by the players.

One week later on Sunday, December 20, the festival concludes with the Players Choice Series Event #8. The event with the highest buy-in of the series ($320) provides a guaranteed prize pool of $40,000.

Both Sunday guaranteed tournaments will be played in the NLHE format.

Recent Tournament Series on the partypoker US Network

In October, the Online Series featured 11 events with $259,000 in guaranteed prize pools and buy-ins ranging between $20 and $535.

It was swiftly followed by the Monster Series from October 31 to November 16, which included a total of 82 events and guarantees in excess of $1 million. Many of the events were held as micro-stakes versions (50 cents to $2.20) and low-stakes editions with a buy-in of ten times as much.

Very recently, the partypoker US network ran a special one-off $50,000 guaranteed Black Friday event on November 27 with a buy-in of $109, which boosted the guarantee of their usual $10,000 Friday night tournament five-fold.

partypoker US Network Expected to Grow Further

PokerStars PA has been the only active online poker operator in Pennsylvania since November 2019. However, two further Interactive Gaming Operator Licenses have since been approved by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB).

Online poker operator 888 was granted a license on September 30, leading the path for 888 PA and WSOP PA.

Roar Digital LLC was also approved on October 28 and operates the online gaming operations of MGM and partypoker parent company Entain PLC (formerly GVC Holdings) in New Jersey.

So far, no launch date for partypoker PA has been announced yet.

The joint venture is also expected to launch partypoker MI in the near future, however, 2021 has now become the most likely time frame for that. Previous hopes for the Michigan online gaming market to become an option in 2020 already suffered a setback according to updated estimations by Michigan Gaming Control Board Executive Director Richard Kalm.

Circumstances surrounding live poker have changed quite a bit, but the poker industry has shown once again its willingness to change and adapt. Organizers of many major land-based poker tournaments (including the World Series of Poker) have moved their events online where they have kept going strong. The World Poker Tour is following that pattern.

In cooperation with partypoker New Jersey, Borgata is staging its first-ever WPT event to fully take place online. Featuring a guaranteed prize pool in excess of $275,000 across 10 separate events, the WPT Online Borgata Series will kick off on Sunday, September 13, and will last for a full week jam-packed with action and big prizes.

WPT Online Borgata Series in New Jersey Features Various Event Formats

With 10 different tournaments scattered across eight days, the WPT Online Series offers something for everyone, at least as far as NLHE fans are concerned. This time around, organizers have decided to go with just Hold'em tournaments and keep things simple.

That said, there is a variety of different formats on offer, from straight-up freezouts to progressive KOs (PKOs), so the series definitely does not lack color. Some of the highlight tournaments include:

  • WPT #1 – the opening event taking place on Sunday, September 13, featuring a $215 buy-in and a $100,000 guarantee
  • WPT #4 – a heads up tournament with a buy-in of $535 on September 19
  • WPT #8 – $30,000 guaranteed PKO with a $215 buy-in
  • partypoker NJ WPT Main Event on September 20 featuring a $1060 buy-in

Players can register for and participate in all WPT online events through the partypoker US network, BorgataPoker, or betMGM NJ. All three clients offer access to the same exact schedule and everyone will play together in the tournaments.

Special Discount for the HU Event

The heads-up event on September 19 is clearly targeted at players who consider themselves proficient in this format. Namely, the tournament is capped at just 32 entries and the organizer is looking to fill all the seats before the deadline. So, as a special incentive, all players who register before September 16 will receive the tournament fee ($35) back once the event concludes.

No Guarantee for the WPT Online Borgata Series Main Event

Looking at the schedule, one thing that does stick out is the fact the Main Event features no guaranteed prize pool. Perhaps the organizers just aren't sure how much interest they will be able to generate given the fairly high buy-in and they opted for no guarantee at all instead of advertising a conservative number.

Although the $1060 buy-in for the WPT online Main Event is quite high, players can get their seat at a discounted rate through Phase events. These Phase events cost only $109 to participate and are similar to satellites but aren't exactly the same.

Once Phase events are completed (at the end of level 22), all remaining players will advance to Phase 2 of the Main Event. Unlike satellites where players enter the target event with a standard starting chip stack, those players that gain entry through a Phase 1 event will start play with the number of chips they carry over from Phase 1.

The final table play of the WPT Online Main Event will be streamed live as well, so poker fans from around the globe will be able to follow the action as it unfolds, and enjoy some top-quality poker. Things around the world may have changed, but the poker industry is certainly doing its best to stay ahead of the curve and keep players and fans as happy and as content as possible.

WPT and partypoker Forging a New Tradition

When the whole poker world came to a virtual stop due to the coronavirus pandemic, players and tournament organizers alike found themselves in a very difficult spot. The World Poker Tour was one of the first organizations to accept the new reality and come up with a solution.

Back in May, WPT and partypoker joined forces to launch the inaugural online World Poker Tour featuring more than $35,000,000 in guarantees. The WPT Online Championship event featured a buy-in of $3200, and a staggering $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. In the end, the tournament attracted 2,130 entrants, shattering the guarantee by almost $1.4 million.

In June, the WPT brought its online events to the US with its first-ever WPT Online Poker Open on partypoker NJ network in New Jersey with $300,00 in guaranteed prize pools.

In July the WPT World Online Championships kicked off on partypoker with a whopping $100 million guaranteed. The series has been extended and is still running in the .com market with a new scheduled end date of September 24.

In an exclusive interview with pokerfuse, WPTCEO Adam Pliska made it clear that the WPT views its online events as being just as prestigious as its land-based events.

While things are bound to get back to their normal state at one point or another, the WPT has set the foundations for a new tradition – one that entails online events and makes tournament poker more accessible to players around the world. Given the success thus far, the WPT Online could become a regular feature even when live poker is back on track.
