One of the largest online poker card rooms on a global scale – partypoker – revealed that the widely-popular Monster Series online festival is to kick off in April. As announced by partypoker, the series, which is known for its low to middle stakes available, is set to begin on April 29th and to run through May 6th.
This would be the second edition of the online festival. This year’s Monster Series promises to be an exciting one, with it being set to feature a total of 41 numbered events and 123 tournaments which offer various buy-ins in the range from $0.44 to $33. The combined guaranteed prize pools offered during the series would amount to $2.7 million.
In October 2017, partypoker hosted the first-ever Monster Series, offering specially-created low buy-in tournaments with generous guaranteed prizes in order to give more players the chance to win a “monster prize”.
Monster Series Schedule and Tournaments Structure
As mentioned above, partypoker Monster Series is to run from April 29th to May 6th. The online festival has experienced some changes since the inaugural event of the series, with the online poker card room having become more focused on providing players with more attractive formats.
Poker lovers who join the Monster Series online festival will be able to play at various tables, including no-limit hold’em on six- and eight-handed tables, as well as six- and eight-handed progressive knock-out events offering regular, fast and turbo-structured blinds. Every day is planed to feature a distinct theme and a mix of tournaments. In addition, each day will feature a flagship tournament, with the overall guaranteed prize pools amounting to $130,000.
There would be several special tournaments, including a $1.5 buy-in with a $5,000 guaranteed prize, a $7.5 buy-in event with a $25,000 guaranteed prize and a $33 buy-in event featuring a $100,000 guaranteed prize. Furthermore, each of the Sundays over which the partypoker Monster Series is running will offer three tournaments, with the total guaranteed prize for the six tournaments amounting to $620,000.
Undoubtedly, the most-awaited event from the series will be the $300,000 guaranteed Main Event, called the “Championship Event” and featuring a buy-in of $33. The Main Event is to take place on May 6th, along with a Medium Monster and a Low Monster event, which feature a buy-in of $7,50 and $1,50, respectively. The Main Event of the online poker festival is to offer a guaranteed prize of $300,000.
In addition, for the first time three Ladies events are to take place over the current edition of the partypoker Monster Series, all of them offering the same buy-ins, but guarantees of $5,000, $2,000 and $500, respectively. The three Ladies events are set to be held at the same time over the final day of the series, May 6th.
