The month of September has been set as the big stage for the partnering of the World Poker Tour and PartyPoker US Network. The WPT series is not new and poker lovers in New Jersey eagerly await its debut. As is the norm, poker players can log into the action through the Borgata online betting platform. The schedule for the grand event is already out and published on the hosting site for payers and fans alike to familiarize.
The poker action as planned by PartyPoker and WPT will take place right in the middle of the month of September; the 8 days of action will end on 19th September. If you are in New Jersey and love the thrill of poker once in a while, this event has been designed just for you. Apart from sharing the stage with some of the world’s most brilliant poker geniuses, this is an opportunity to grab a share of the guaranteed $1.1 million prize pool.
Among the big wigs that have confirmed their participation in the 2021 PartyPoker WPT online series is Darren Elias who has won the WPT championship four times in the past. Communicating through his Twitter account, Elias is excited that the partypoker US Network is geared up for the WPT in the current year. It has been a challenging year for live games organizers as many events were postponed or even cancelled as the Covid-19 situation worsened in many parts of the world.
Elias is confident that many poker players will be travelling to New Jersey to be part of the WPT. Once you are in the Garden State and wish to take part in the WPT series championship, the first step is to create an account on the betting provider’s betting platform. For new players, this simple step earns them a $25 no-deposit bonus.
Deposit real money to facilitate wagering and your account is automatically credited with a deposit bonus of 100% up to a maximum of $1,000. The September event is a big deal but that is not all that the PartyPoker US Network has been involved in throughout. Every month, the network has been promoting one series or the other and wrapping it with appealing guarantees to pull in players.
The series will continue as has been scheduled by PartyPoker and players can consider the WPT to be the climax. Suppose you are not registered on the PartyPoker betting platform but you have a player profile at BetMGM or Borgata, you will still take part in the WPT September series. Those are the only three skins through which players can use to access the poker fan as organized by the WPT.
One of the most popular events in the WPT series is the WPT main event worth $3,500 and scheduled to take place on September 19. Apart from the fact that this event has a $1 million guarantee prize tied to it, it will serve as the stepping stone for players to qualify for the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup.
For the event which will be held entirely online, players will be served a menu of 12 events that will include heads-up, six-max, and knockout. All of these events will have a No Limit Hold’em game apart from one of the Omaha tournaments which will take place on September 14.
What we cover
Booking a slot for the main event action
Are you earnestly interested in taking part in the $3,500 event but the buy in sounds a little too much? Well, this makes sense because different people are endowed differently when it comes to financial ability. This does not however mean that low stake players will be locked out of the action – there is an opportunity to spin up an entry.
Throughout the length of the WPT schedule, the organizers will allow players to spin a fortune wheel on any of the tournament’s three skins in New Jersey. Players have in the past used this feature to their advantage. One of them is New Jersey based poker player Brian Keane of Egg Harbor Township who attests to the authenticity of the spin wheel.
Keane is among the lucky ones who earn their free entry tickets at the first spin but that alone made him a believer in the process. The chance to spin the wheel for a free pass into the main tournament is accorded to players every day they log into the site. While the greatest expectation is to win a free ticket for the main event, some players get to win; tournament tickets valued for $109 or $215, satellite qualifier tickets worth $5 and $45, hot cash bonus tickets valued $5 and $10 and spin tournaments tickets worth $5.
PartyPoker will also run a promotion on September 18 which will see the betting provider give away a mega satellite seat valued at $320 buy-in. This tournament will produce a minimum of five WPT seats for the main event which will take place the following day. Just last month, PartyPoker ran an Online Series Main Event which required players to join with a buy-in of $535 for a chance at bagging a guaranteed prize of $50,000.
A poker player from New Jersey who is a regular of the PartyPoker tournaments, Anthony “upayformypennys” Pagan emerged top of his league to earn a cash price of $15,045.Although Pagan faced some tough players at the final table of his winning poker round, he endured to the last minutes unaware that his prowess was good enough for a win.
Conclusion
Some of the notable talents on the final table included Michal “Gags30” Gagliano, Mj23Style and Brownmagic. It is a poker event that assembles thousands of poker players to a single platform and gradually eliminates the weak talents until a winner is found. The thrill and tension is tangible but the experience is worth any amount that players invest into the game to buy-in participation.
