Please Note: Due to the high number of players at the tables today, tournament staff has decided to push the start of the final Live starting flight in the Grand Prix Canada – Day 1K – back a half hour to 7:30pm. This will ensure that we have enough tables available to be able to seat everyone who wants to play promptly when the tournament begins.
New Satellites Announced
Our friends at partypoker have announced the final series of online satellites for the partypoker Million North America. There will be 10 seats guaranteed from Monday to Friday at 9:00pm – an incredible opportunity to win your way into the largest event in Canadian poker history!
First up, however, is the final Sunday Satellite, set to begin on April 30th at 6:00pm. With an incredible 20 seats guaranteed, this is the culmination of the satellite program that has run for the past few weeks on partypoker. Don’t forget that every player can enter and re-enter both of the Live starting days, so having a “spare” satellite seat in your back pocket definitely can’t hurt!
Once that one is done, attention will turn to the daily satellites being held all next week. There’s a great feeder satellite program in place next week to give players the chance to win their way in the $5,300 Million North America for as little as one penny. You can start at any level – $0.01, $5.50, $22, or $109 and if you succeed at one level, you’ll be auto-registered for the next. Check out the new satellites on the Million North America Landing page.
If all else fails, each day there will be a final $109 Hyper-Turbo Feeder for that night’s $530 satellite. However you get there, this final run of satellites is one of the best ways to book your slot in this terrific partypoker LIVE event.
Great value in the Grand Prix Canada
In case you haven’t heard, the Grand Prix Canada has some extra attached value to offer, as it is now almost certain to feature a prize pool overlay. Half the guarantee has been collected in the first 22 starting flights, and there are 6 more to come. Although his week-end’s flights will for sure welcome a tremendous amount of players, our total will most likely fall short of the 500 000$ guarantee. Play tonight (7pm) or tomorrow (12pm, 4pm and 7pm) to get a chance at a piece of the cake!
Meanwhile, cash games are booming, and all players can enjoy the posh Player Lounge with an old school cachet, which can be found at the back of the tournament hall, with arcades, table tennis, air hockey, and free merchandise!
We’ll be waiting!
