Poker Masters Moved Online to Partypoker
As you may already know, the COVID-19 coronavirus is wreaking havoc on the poker world. All of Las Vegas has shut down while various events around the world have either shut down or have been postponed.
Poker Central has decided to take an alternative path for the Poker Masters. Rather than canceling it or delaying it indefinitely, they have instead moved it online. Poker Masters Online will not run from April 12 through 26 at partypoker.com. The series will feature 30 events and still award the coveted Poker Masters Purple Jacket.
Poker Masters Online Features 30 Events
The 2020 Poker Masters is now the Poker Masters Online. It will feature 30 events featuring NL Hold’em and PL Omaha. Events will range from $10,300 in buy-ins up to the $51,000 buy-in Main Event on April 26th.
Overall, the series will feature $15.25 million in total guarantees. Partypoker Managing Director Tom Waters spoke on the series, stating, “We are pleased to be able to give players the chance to continue doing what they love and play the tournament in an online format.
partypoker and @PokerCentral announce the debut of The Poker Masters Online, consisting of 30 high-roller events taking place from April 12-26th.with over $15m guaranteed across the Online festival. See https://t.co/zspj2sXodO pic.twitter.com/WlzopbfTMJ

“The Poker Masters brand carries significant weight in the poker community and we believe this innovative online format will be appealing for fans and players alike.”
Sam Simmons, Poker Central President, also spoke on the series, stating, “We know partypoker is the right landing spot for our tournament brand to evolve into a new format. We value this partnership as a way to bring the poker community together in these uncertain times.”
Poker Masters Purple Jacket to Be Awarded Along With $50,000
Like the live version of Poker Masters, players will earn points toward the Poker Masters Championship. It will award the Poker Masters Purple Jacket and a $50,000 prize. Considering that players from around the world will be able to login to partypoker and play, it will be interesting to see if a well-known high roller takes the Purple Jacket or if an online superstar will rise up and take the title.
