Mike Sexton Belongs in Poker Hall of Fame – PartyPoker.com
May 28, 2009 | Comments Off
PartyPoker has begun lobbying for Mike Sexton, an ambassador for PartyPoker as well as the host of the World Poker Tour. PartyPoker would like to see Sexton added to the list of those to be considered for induction to the Poker Hall of Fame.
Sexton has a good chance of being placed on the list as he meets the requirements needed to be added to the induction list. He recently finished hosting the seventh season of the World Poker Tour which he has been with since the very first season. He also has a WSOP bracelet and is in the top ten players who have earned the most cashes during the World Series of Poker.
PartyPoker recently re-signed Sexton to their site and he is now the ambassador for the online poker room. The fourth largest online poker room would love to see their ambassador added to the list of poker pros that have been added to the Hall of Fame.
A spokesman for PartyPoker reiterated that they would like to see the poker community vote for Sexton. The spokesman stated: “We encourage the poker community to vote online for Mike Sexton’s induction into poker’s hall of fame. Mike famously said that poker takes five minutes to learn and a lifetime to master- it takes five minutes to vote and mark the lifetime achievement of the master! Mike meets all the criteria and deserves to be top of the list when the process gets to the Hall of Fame committee.”

March 13, 2009 | Comments Off
From this moment until midnight on March 22, top poker site PartyPoker is giving their poker players a once in a lifetime chance to win up to $1,000,000 through their Million-Dollar Hand promotion.
How the Million Dollar Hand Promotion Works
Players at Partypoker will receive a random card for every 15 Party Points that they accumulate along with a prize for every five-card hand accumulated. If a player puts together a pair from these cards, they will receive a cash reward of $5 and 2 pairs will earn $10. There is no limit to the number of hands that can be hit and players will be able to continue to collect cards and play as long as they continue to collect Party Points.
Here’s the full break-down of possible hands and their values:
Pair – $5
Two Pair – $10
Trips – $25
Straight – $50
Flush – $100
Full House – $250
Four of a kind – $1,000
Straight Flush – $5,000
Royal Flush – $1,000,000
Party Poker has stated that they “have had to insure ourselves against the possibility of multiple royal flushes. All a player has to do is collect points and cards throughout the period.” There are many chances to win $1,000,000 and all the player has to do is stick around long enough to collect enough cards.
