A hearty AlphaPlayers congratulations goes out to "mrcall912" for taking the top spot in the Sunday, September 3rd the $1 million guaranteed "Big Sunday" tournament at PartyPoker.com. "mrcall912" bested 4,943 other players and took home the biggest pieces of the $1 million. Take on the thousands of "fish" on Sunday October 1st and see if you can't make the big bucks in the next big tourney! Satellites for all events are running daily to make that entry fee a bit more palatable.

The new "PartyPoker Monster" series of tournaments, leading up to the "Grand Final" on May 26, 2007 (yes, that's 2007), are well underway. The total prize pool continues to grow and it currently at over $12,600,000! There are 32 freerolls held each week where "winners" qualify for a weekly $100,000 freebie. Then there are $1,000,000 monthly freerolls, with the top 2000 players from the weekly Monster freerolls. The top 1,000 from each of the monthly tourneys get spots in the "Grand Final" and the final 6 players from the Grand Final will play in a live event to be held in South America. Qualifying for the weekly freerolls is the first step, see the PartyPoker web site for the (rather complex) details. As of today the prize pool for the final around is estimated at over $20 million!!! Congratulations to "babydoc23" for winning the first $1 million "Monster Monthly" (worth $125,000 and a spot in the finals!).
