partypoker POWERFEST

The partypoker POWERFEST continues this weekend with some, quite frankly, fantastic tournaments scheduled. PokerNews has picked three of the very best for you to get stuck into, plus provided details on how to win your way into them for a fraction of their buy-in.

POWERFEST #129-M: $150K Gtd 8-6 Mix-Max PKO

partypoker has your Saturday night sorted because they��re running a ridiculously good value event at 8:30 p.m. CET. POWERFEST #129-M is an 8-6 Mix-Max tournament with a cool $150,000 guaranteed to be won. Despite this big guarantee, the buy-in is only $55, making it one of the more affordable POWERFEST events.

$1M Leaderboard Ends Soon

The 8-6 Mix-Max refers to the format you��ll be playing. Play begins on eight-handed tables before switching to six-handed at the start of the 19th level. This makes for an interesting dynamic.

Satellites are running right now that start at only $5.50. You can also buy in with tournament dollars, which you can also win online at partypoker.

POWERFEST #141-H: $500K Gtd Main Event 8-Max PKO

This $320 buy-in tournament is going to be massive, with at least half a million dollars up for grabs. The bounties in this event will grow massive because partypoker doesn��t charge rake on the bounty element of the buy-in.

Your $320 is split into $150 to the main prize pool, $158 for the bounties and $12 rake. That��s only 3.75% rake, which is pretty damned good, especially in today��s climate.

Direct satellites for only $5.50 are scheduled with more costing $33 taking place throughout the weekend.

The $320 buy-in events have proven extremely popular throughout the series, this jumbo-sized one will be no different.

POWERFEST #137-SHR: $1M GTD Phase Final

Phased tournaments are played across multiple Day 1s and feed into Sunday��s final. One such tournament is the 137th event of the series, which starts at 7:00 p.m. CET on March 29th.

Sign up to partypoker here.

You can buy in direct for an eye-watering $5,200 but you don��t want to do that, you want to maximise your value, surely? Phase 1s run around the clock costing $530 to enter. There are dozens of feeders into these $530 Phases, meaning you can play your way into the final for a fraction of the cost.

Play as many Phase 1s as you wish, but you can only take your largest stack through to the final with you; all other stacks are forfeited. Buying in direct secures you a 1 million-chip stack, enough for joint 12th place at the time of writing. The current leader, ��NOLIMITHOLDEM��, has a much bigger stack with 2,056,800 chips. Can you beat that sum?
