WPT500 Comes to partypoker
After the success of the WPT Online Series in May 2020, and the WPT World Online Championships in September 2020, the WPT500 is yet another major festival from the World Poker Tour running on partypoker. Bicknell says that this is all down to the relationship the two brands have built together over the past 12 months.
"I think the relationship that WPT and partypoker has built is absolutely fantastic! I fully support both brands, as they are both leaders in the industry and put on well-run series that cater to every poker player out there."
The festival has two Main Events with multiple Day 1s offering players a slice of a $1,000,000 guarantee each time. Bicknell says she was looking forward to both, but told us she preferred the non-PKO event taking place this weekend.
"PKO's are tons of fun and add a different element to the game, but I find that the typical vanilla events feel more like 'true' tournament poker to me."

Play the WPT500 on partypoker
Bicknell says that she thinks the WPT500 is going to generate some "massive" prize pools.
"With so many day 1's, the WPT500 is huge! The prize pools are going to be massive.
"So far, it seems like we have a mix of famous high stakes pro and low stakes satellite winners, which I think brings the best excitement to the game. It's certainly an event not to miss! I look forward to hopefully making it deep and seeing who else does."
