Welcome to the latest edition of the PartyPoker Weekly, your one-stop shop for all the latest PartyPoker news and promotions. This week we bring you the views of poker legend Mike Sexton, details of the Premier League, how to win a WSOP seat and how to get your hands on some free cash. Interested? Then keep on reading!

Mike Sexton Reviews Premier League Players

The PartyPoker sponsored pro Mike Sexton is one of the most experienced poker players in the history of the game. He has seen the likes of Stu Unger emerge from a nobody and turn into a World Series of Poker champion and has rubbed shoulders in some of the biggest games around with some of the most established names in the business. So when Sexton gives his opinions people usually sit up and take note.

The Premier League V kicks off this week in Vienna and Sexton has given his opinions on each of the players who are registered in the $125,000 buy-in main event. Who do you think he describes as the most “wowing to watch” or which player does the legend call the best No Limit Hold’em player of the past year? Check out the links below to find out.

Along with the 47 tournaments there will be multiple side events taking place between April 22 and May 6, meaning PartyPoker is the place to be when it comes to tournament poker.

Daily Dollar Side Events

Every day during Pokerfest II there will be two tournaments, each with a $1 buy-in, running at 13:45 and 16:00 EDT that have what PartyPoker say is “a twist.” The reason for the inverted commas is the fact nobody knows what these twists will be and they will only be revealed in the lobby at the last minute! What these twists are only PartyPoker know but we expect them to be different formats with added prizes and value.

Help Yourself To a Free $50 Bankroll!

Thanks to the special relationship between PokerNews and PartyPoker you can help yourself to a free $50 bankroll! That is correct, $50 absolutely free. $50 that you could use to enter some of the Pokerfest II Online tournaments and possibly turn into a huge sum!

All you need to do is follow the simple steps below, and $50 is all yours to keep!

• Download the PartyPoker software through PokerNews
• Create a new PartyPoker account and enter the bonus code “PN50FREE”
• Fill in the registration form in the PartyPoker cashier
• Return to PokerNews and fill in our small registration form
• Check your email inbox for a confirmation email from free50@pokernews.com

Once you have received the confirmation email, $20 will be placed into your PartyPoker account. You must earn at least 40 PartyPoints before you will be able to withdraw the free $20. If you do not earn 40 PartyPoints within 60 days, the initial $20, or whatever remains of it, will be forfeited.
