Say hello to March by winning your share of $1 million

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

A new month means a new Monthly Million at PartyPoker.com, our big-money tournament where there’s $1,000,000 guaranteed.

The cards get dealt at 12:45 ET on Sunday, 1st March and it’ll cost you $640 to buy in direct. Don’t worry if that sounds too pricey, though. With so many qualifying paths you can get involved from as little as $1.

The wide range of qualifiers includes daily satellites, a Mega Friday satellite and Super Satellite Saturday qualifiers.

The PartyPoker.com is held on the first Sunday of every month and in our first-ever edition of the tournament earlier this month more than 1,600 players sat down to try and win their cut of the huge prize pool.

Player Popeye7111 from France emerged as our debut winner, taking away $155,000, while a total of 250 entrants made the money.

If you want to involved in March’s Monthly Million (and why wouldn’t you?), find out exactly how and when you can qualify by reading our Monthly Million page.

The Devil(fish)?s music

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

There are certain things in this world just don’t do; you don’t slow play, you don’t bet when holding 2-7, and you don’t tempt the wrath of the Devilfish.

Poker fan mbroughton either hasn’t heard of the last commandment or has a very huge insurance policy as he’s put together a video ‘tribute’ to Dave’s latest hair do. And posted it on YouTube.

Luckily for our comedian with a death wish, Devilfish’s sense of humour is still alive and kicking, with the poker legend even posting a reply.
