Party Poker launches regular $1 million weekend tournaments.

By RP, June 1, 2006

There are now a million reasons to keep Sunday afternoons free, urges a Party Poker.com press release this week, announcing the start of the weekly Sunday Million Guaranteed Tournament on 4th June.

Every Sunday at 4:30pm ET players online will be able to win a share of at least $1 million. To buy-in directly costs $215 but special daily satellite tournaments start from as little as $3. Other ways of getting into the main event include PartyPoker.com‘s double step method that allows qualification around the clock and Players Club Freerolls that can be entered with as little as 100 Party loyalty points.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said “The new weekly One Million Guaranteed Tournament gets underway this Sunday with hundreds of players guaranteed to finish in the money. The introduction of the $1 million guaranteed means it is curtains for the $500k. A year ago our guaranteed tournament on a Sunday had a total prize pool of $350,000 – it’s astounding that the amount of money on offer has nearly tripled in just 12 months.”
