We are heading into the summer months, the sun is shining, and people are walking around with smiles on their faces. Some PartyPoker players, hopefully, you, will be sporting beaming smiles by mid-July, thanks to them becoming Grand Prix Summer Edition champions.
The Grand Prix Summer Edition runs online from June 29 through July 17 at PartyPoker. The busy schedule features 12 multi-flight events, which serve as the festival’s key tournaments, plus dozens of Grand Prix Summer Edition branded side events to get your teeth into.
Those numbered events have buy-ins starting at only $1.10 and increasing to $55, the latter reserved for the Main Event, which runs from June 29 through July 17. Despite the Grand Prix Summer Edition buy-ins being at the more affordable end of the scale, we have not scrimped on the guarantees, with the $33 Opener PKO boasting a $50,000 guarantee and the $55 buy-in Main Event’s prize pool guaranteed to be at least $150,000!

Grand Prix Summer Edition SPINS and Satellites
We want as many of our players to experience what it is like to play in a prestigious poker tournament and have the chance to pad their bankrolls with poker career-defining prizes, which is why we’re launching Grand Prix Summer Edition SPINS.
These jackpot sit & go tournaments only cost $2 to enter. Mostly, they award their winner $4 cash, but they also pay Grand Prix Summer tickets ranging from $5.50 to $109 and do so in a matter of minutes thanks to the hyper-turbo blind structure.
| Multiplier | 1st Prize | Frequency in 1M Games |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | $4 Cash | 609,233 |
| 2.75 | $5.50 GP Summer Ticket | 266,467 |
| 5.5 | $11 GP Summer Ticket | 100,000 |
| 11 | $22 GP Summer Ticket | 20,000 |

Those of you who prefer a traditional satellite are in luck because our ever-popular phased satellites return. They start with our industry-famous $0.01 centrolls, which fee into $0.22 Phase 1, then $1.10 Phase 2, then the no direct buy-in final each Saturday where $55 Main Event tickets are won.
There are also nightly Main Event satellites for you to try your luck in. Turn a $0.33 buy-in into a $3.30 Micro Main Event seat, a $1.65 buy-in into an $11 Mini Main Event seat, or an affordable $7.50 buy-in into a $55 Main Event seat. Good luck!
