The Party is due to start soon with the WPT

Posted:October 2013

Party Poker has begun satellite competition for a new tournament they are sponsoring in conjunction with the World Poker Tour. It is called the “Party Poker WPT National UK: London” and it will be conducted from October 24-27. The tournament will be played in the attractive red and blue deco of the Aspers Casino Westfield Stratford City and it will feature an unusual format.

The tournament will be played as an “Accumulator,” a tournament in which players can earn chips in several different sessions of play. Their accumulated totals for the sessions will then be added together to determine their starting chip stacks for the final phase of the tournament.

For this WPT National UK event, the first day of the tournament is broken into “Flights.” On October 24 at 8PM, there will be Flight One. The next day, Flight 2 will begin at 2PM and Flight 3 at 8PM. Each one of these sessions will last for four hours. You can buy into one or all of these Flights and you'll want to buy into all three if you can. That's because any chips you win during any of the flights will be bagged and returned to you when Day 2 competition commences.

If you have very good success playing poker during all three Flights, you will have a lot of chips to start with on Day 2. If you had one or two bad Flights, the Accumulator format still gives you a chance to continue.

The cost to buy-in for each of these flights in the WPT National UK is £200, or $310. But at Party Poker, they are holding qualifiers for this tournament that can get you an entry into this event for much less. They are offering many different satellites, some of which only award seats and others which also offer money for expenses.

Party Poker's top prize package for the WPT London event includes two entries for the tournament which will let you play in two different Flight sessions. Those tournament tickets have a combined value of £400 or $620. The package also includes another £241-or $380-to cover travel and other costs. There are other satellites you can enter which offer just the $310 entry into the Main Event.

Party Poker's satellite qualifying will continue in their poker room until October 13. Since it is an Accumulator format, you can-and you should-try to win more than one entry into this tournament.
