Make sure to check back on Monday to see how these tournaments turned out and see you next week!
The Daily Legends tournaments at partypoker have proven to be hugely popular thanks to their player-friendly formats. partypoker has slashed the late registration period, limited re-entries, and devised a structure that allows players to head to bed at a reasonable time without turning the tournament into a crap shoot.
Now is the time to try out some of those Daily Legends tournaments because partypoker has launched its Legend of the Week promotion that adds $60,000 worth of value to its Daily Legends schedule every week.
Legend of the Week sees you earn points for playing in selected Daily Legends tournaments from Monday through Saturday. Points are awarded for playing the eligible tournaments, but you earn far more by reaching a final table or by going all the way and becoming a Daily Legends champion.
Jose Alarcon bubbled the final table of the World Cup of Cards #04 Playground Cup which means that there are seven players left in the tournament to battle.
Christian Rudolph is chip leading and joined by Ronni Borg, Justin Ouimette, Vlad-Stefan Lache, Ioannis Lelekakis, Richard Williamson, and Claus Grether on the final table.
Hunting down partypoker “predators” earns you $22 tickets to the site’s Daily Legends tournament sporting the same name.
The $22 Predator is one of the most popular tournaments on the Daily Legends schedule. It runs Monday through Saturday at 5:05 p.m. GMT and features a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool.
That in itself is worth playing in the Predator, but the Predator Hunt promotion adds even more value. Up to 19 specially selected “predators” will frequent The Predator during the week and these 19 stars have an extra bounty on their heads in addition to the tournament’s bounty.
