partypoker to host Online Day 1 and Day 2 for the partypoker LIVE tour

June 18, 2019July 8, 2019 | Playground

In an effort to provide greater flexibility for players, partypoker LIVE has announced that it will be providing a new way for online players to take part in live events. Going forward, partypoker will now host Online Day 1s and Day 2s in a single combined flight for live tour events.

While partypoker LIVE venues will host Day 1s and Day 2s as normal, this innovation from partypoker will allow online players to advance through a single flight that will combine Days 1 and 2 so players that qualify can arrive at the live venue for Day 3 with a min-cash already secured.

According to partypoker Managing Director, Tom Waters, “This is a great concept and the fact that players will not have to travel to a live event until they are in the money is brilliant. It means more flexibility for players and will save them on travel and expenses.”

By providing a new way for players to advance through the huge fields at partypoker LIVE tour events, the increased accessibility and flexibility will “bring more people in the Main Events and allow them to win titles,” according to partypoker LIVE founder, Rob Yong.

Players will be able to capitalize on this new road to riches in the upcoming WSOP-C Playground. The full schedule will be released in the days ahead so stay tuned!
