PartyPoker.com World Open
'Have at ye!'
You can beat 71 poker players, right?
PartyPoker is offering a healthy shot at a half-million dollar prize pool with their Party Poker.com World Open. You can buy-in directly (you know, with that extra $7,000 you have lying around) or you can win a package that includes four nights accommodations, airfare, and of course the buy-in. $500,000 doesn't seem like a lot these days for a prize pool (we are getting pretty spoiled, aren't we?) especially for a $7,000 buy-in, but the field is kept down to 72 players, giving everyone a much better shot than something like the main event at the World Series of Poker. Why 72? No earthly clue.
Partypoker is giving you the opportunity to travel to London, play poker, and be on TV. Partypoker.com World Open (Prize Pool - $504,000)
You can win the following package of PartyPoker.com: $10,000, including a $7,000 buy-in, $1,500 for four nights' hotel accommodation, and $1,500 towards flights and other expenses.
