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. A small map and more details on qualifiers can be found
