3: Barrels: DTD launch DTD200 events; Partypoker prepare for $11m POWERFEST event, and partypoker Live! is coming soon

Three barrels with a partypoker flavour including a new weekly tournament series at Dusk till Dawn promising £100k in guarantees for £220; $11m in guarantees in the latest incarnation of POWERFEST, and there is mystery surrounding a partypoker Live! tweet.

With all eyes on the first-ever PokerStars Championships in the Bahamas, you may have missed a mysterious tweet from partypoker declaring that “partypoker Live! is coming.”

Partypoker has a long affiliation with the World Poker Tour (WPT) and has sponsored many of their festivals, but this would be a first in modern times if they are to branch out into the live arena on their lonesome.

The online giant is keeping their cards very close to their hairy chest. The tweet sends you to a splash page with a countdown timer set to end 4 pm Monday afternoon (UK time). It also has the words ‘partypoker MILLIONS North America” as the main thrust of the page, so one assumes it will be partypoker who will be crowning the first-ever poker millionaire from a live tournament in North America since the poker world collapsed in that neck of the woods.
