The 6max plo tourneys that normally run at 12:00 and 14:00 seem to be gone? Is this because you are waiting till after the monster series to change the daily schedule? Both have regularly outperformed the gtds on a daily basis lately

Hey guys!

Ok, so some pretty big and I think exciting news.

This weekend our $215 $1m guarantee and our $109 $400k guarantee will become the format that I've wanted to make for a long time. It was previously going to be a 3 day tournament, this time it will still finish on Tuesday but we will supersize it.

7pm Sunday UK time we will play 32 levels of day 1a and finish around 2-3am
7pm Monday we will play day 1b
5pm Tuesday we will play the Tuesday Turbo day 1c

Everybody will then come together and play the 2nd and final day.

If this works successfully I can see in the not so distant future doing this on a weekly basis. Having 2 amazing MTT's which gigantic prize pools would be a great thing for the site. We are committed to making the 5pm uk (6pm cet) slow more and more popular, the prize pools have increased a lot recently and we want to push them even further, so for those who want to play 1 day tournaments you can play them at 5pm and finish 2-4 hours earlier than the previous 1 day events at 7pm.

I hope you all see this as a positive change, this weekend it is just a test, $1m for a $215 and $400k for a $109 is going to be a huge challenge, but aggressive guarantees and tough challenges are what's made us accelerate the recent growth.

Sounds good in theory. What % of the day 1 fields approx would make day 2 with your proposed structure. Is it still going to be 4.5 hours late reg?

I hope it's not just me, but this is so W-O-W!

Bascially best news ever for everyone who has to do work Monday morning or get up for another reason... What a gift to play proper Sunday tournaments in Central Europe and get some sleep

Hi, thanks

Check the new changes regarding title fight and main event this week and possibly in the future.
10-23-2017 , 02:35 PM
Amazing. This has been a great concept over on winamax for years so props and looking forward
10-23-2017 , 03:24 PM
Wow! There's a counterpunch warm-up... but there's not a counterpunch.
Wow! There's a 215 ko... but it's not a ko.

Sent you a PM regarding leaderboards btw you might pass on the info to security or someone - would require quite a bit of digging.

Very nice job on the scheduling.

Stars are so weak at the moment - the main pro-stars article on pokernews is for power-up.
10-23-2017 , 08:23 PM
Every tournament is re-entry now. The only freezout over 10k gtd is $109 Drago now. Take this into consideration when improving daily schedule pls.
10-23-2017 , 08:42 PM
what's going on with the 5 eliminators with reentry a day? And why aren't they psko anymore? Think the old schedule with them worked better.
Otherwise good job on the new things and the monster series look very nice with a lot of fun new tournaments.

And a question: what will happen if you win multiple tickets for the 215$ monsterstack main? Will extra tickets be converted to t$ or title fight tickets?

Also good job on the Flighted/Phased 1M Titlefight. IMO the most sensible way to reach 1M while minimizing risk of overlay. Winamax has had a lot of success with this Phase format in Wseries Main events & Highrollers. I think a lot of players don't fancy re-entrying with 10bb stacks at the end of late reg unless it's guaranteed to overlay. (I'm willing to fire as much as many bullets as needed barring I get playable stack. When I stop getting <50% avg. stack, I usually stop firing.)

E: Saturday flights perhaps for future 1M Titlefights?

The T&Cs are clear in the promo page regarding multiple tickets for the MONSTER >

Tournament tickets to Monster Series events can be won in satellite tournaments. The following rules are applied to Monster Series tournament tickets won in satellites:
Players may win multiple tournament tickets which are valid for the same target event providing the event allows a specific number of re-entries
If a player wins more tournament tickets to a Monster Series target event than the total number of entries and re-entries available on the target event then the excess tournament tickets will be forfeited.
If a player wins multiple tournament tickets to a Monster Series target event and the total number of tournament tickets won is equal to or less than the total number of entries and re-entries available in the target event and the player does not require to use the subsequent tournament tickets for re-entries then these tournament tickets will be converted to T$.
The definition of a player not requiring to use a tournament ticket for a re-entry in a Monster Series target event is that the player has not busted during the late registration period on any first entry or any re-entry. If a player busts in the late registration period of the Monster Series target event and decides not to re-enter with an available ticket then that ticket will be forfeited.
The conversion of tournament tickets will be actioned on a case by case basis and players who wish to have tournament tickets converted must contact partypoker support at info@partypoker.com

Sounds great but a bit odd to have the tabs in the lobby before announcing the events!

Dear Colette,

could you maybe give an indication on when we can expect a new daily micro stake schedule with possibly the addition of some 2$, 3$ and 4$ tourneys?

it would be a shame to watch all the moster series micro players fade away before a new schedule is released.

Neither the warm up.
No counterpunch again.
