partypoker and Dusk Till Dawn will officially launch their new partnership with the first partypoker branded Grand Prix Million at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, running from Friday 15th May to Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 2015.
The Grand Prix is guaranteed at a record-breaking prize pool of $1 million, including 100 WPT 500 seats. With the buy-in set at $100+$20, partypoker and Dusk Till Dawn are targeting 10,000 entries, more than double the previous Grand Prix record of 4,932 set in September 2013.
Online satellites will commence on Monday 16th February at partypoker.com via the Live Events tab. Entries start at just one cent with five Grand Prix seats guaranteed at 7pm and 9pm every night.
The first 1,000 seats won in these online satellites will receive a $25,000 Golden Chip and any player who reaches the final table using their Golden Chip seat will receive a $25,000 cash bonus in addition to their tournament winnings.
When news broke of the partypoker Dusk Till Dawn agreement, Dusk Till Dawn owner, Rob Yong, blogged that this partnership would kick off with the largest ever Grand Prix at Dusk Till Dawn.
“This is a huge target but I believe it is possible. I remember the first ever Grand Prix in September 2010 with a £50 buy-in and a £40,000 GTE, requiring 800 entrants, we broke the UK record and it was one of our proudest moments, so five years later, to achieve 10,000 entries and a $1M prizepool would be simply amazing.’
partypoker’s Grace McMillan is thrilled to be part of such an ambitious project:
“We are all very excited about this Grand Prix Million. partypoker want to make this experience as much fun as possible for the players, it will be great to meet so many of our online qualifiers face to face. What a story it would be if the winner qualified for one cent and also won a $25,000 Golden Chip bonus.”
Players will be able to choose between playing their Day 1’s on partypoker from the comfort of their PC’s, tablets or mobiles or for those that prefer the live experience Dusk Till Dawn will be providing as many tables as possible for Live Day 1’s using extra capacity in the marquee. Players making it through these Day 1’s will meet for Day 2 live at Dusk Till Dawn on Sunday 24th May, playing down to an eventual winner on Monday 25th May. A detailed schedule will be released by Dusk Till Dawn Club Director, Simon Trumper, in the coming weeks.
