GIBRALTAR, December 31 /PRNewswire/ --     The famous PartyPoker.com Million is making a very welcome return in 2008
and will be held in the Mediterranean from May 3rd - 10th. Qualifiers
continue to take place online at PartyPoker.com, starting from as little as
US$1!


The eight day PartyPoker.com Million VI cruise will sail from Venice in Italy, stopping in Bari, Olympia/Katakolon in Greece, Izmir and Istanbul in Turkey and Dubrovnik in Croatia. The cruise will then return to Venice. The ship, the MSC Poesia, is a state of the art cruise liner packed with facilities. On board there will be restaurants, bars, tennis courts, mini golf, pools, spas, discos, a cinema, shopping and more...and not forgetting a massive 24/7 card room!
The PartyPoker.com Million VI package is worth US$12,000, comprising US$8,200 buy-in for the no limit texas hold'em main event, US$2,700 for the accommodation and the cruise and US$1,100 spending money. The action will be filmed for broadcast worldwide.
Previous winners of the PartyPoker.com Million include Kathy Liebert, Howard Lederer, Erick Lindgren, Michael Gracz and Mike Schneider. The first PartyPoker.com Million was a huge breakthrough for poker being the first hold'em tournament to offer a US$1,000,000 first prize, the first tournament to combine direct buy-ins with online qualifiers and the first to hold its finals on a cruise liner. The result was momentous too, with Kathy Liebert's victory marking the first major tournament win by a woman.
"The PartyPoker.com Million has a lot of history and it is great to welcome it back in 2008," said a PartyPoker.com spokesman.
Online qualifiers start from as little as US$1 with the main weekly US$600 + US$40 on a Saturday promising a US$12,000 package for every twenty players taking part and a guarantee that three packages will be won. PartyBets.com will offer online betting options for the poker on the high seas nearer the time.
