PartyPoker really has everything to offer when it comes to a great online poker experience, including some of the best weekly tournaments around, fantastic ring games in several disciplines of poker, unrivaled customer service and software and some of the best bonus offers around. However, there has always been something missing from the PartyPoker experience and that is a championship tournament series. That is all about to change this coming October.

PartyPoker is set to become the new home of a "must-play" tournament series, with the inaugural PartyPoker Pokerfest 2011 kicking off in October.

The 47 championship events on offer throughout the two week period will make for a huge $3,000,000 guaranteed prizepool and will be sure to get the grinders and the casual players alike behind their screens and frantically clicking their mouses in the hopes of finding poker glory.

Satellites have already begun with players able to qualify for many of the events from as little as $1. The opening event, and the first ever PartyPoker Pokerfest tournament, will take place on October 23rd and will feature a $300,000 guarantee for the $215 buy-in.

While the chance at becoming an online poker champion at the PartyPoker Pokerfest is an enticing prospect, if the live felt is more your style how about becoming a World Poker Tour champion?

Don’t forget that satellites to the WPT Amneville are now running at PartyPoker.

The event will be held in the beautiful northern France location from November 1st and there is no better place than PartyPoker to win a package worth $8,000 which includes the $5,000 buy-in to the WPT Amneville Main Event, $1,100 spending money, hotel accommodation and the famous PartyPoker hospitality.

Last year a massive 542 players crammed into the field of the WPT Amneville and at the end of the event it was Switzerland’s Sam El Sayed who took home the victory and the largest share of the €1,640,096 prizepool.

With so much on offer at PartyPoker, including the new PartyPoker Pokerfest and offering the best way to win a seat at WPT Amneville you would be excused of thinking that there is already reason enough to download PartyPoker. Think again.

The first Epic Poker League Main Event is in the books and Chino Rheem has emerged victorious with the $1 million first-place prize. To claim victory, Rheem conquered one of the toughest final tables in poker history.

When the final table began, six of the best poker players in the world were in contention for the title. Rheem was joined by Erik Seidel, Jason Mercier, Hasan Habib, Huck Seed and Gavin Smith. About 10 hours after the first hand was dealt, all five had been eliminated and only Rheem remained.

The first player to go was Seed, who began the final table with the short stack. Seed had almost 900,000 and got all of his chips in preflop against Jason Mercier. He held against the of Mercier with his tournament life at risk. The flop was and Mercier's rail, about 15 to 20 deep, let out a loud roar. That was followed shortly by repeated "Yeahhhpp" and "Yuphs" from the likes of Vanessa Selbst, Dan O'Brien, and Brent Hanks and others. Seed found no help on the turn and river.

He was followed by Smith in fifth place and start-of-the-day chip leader, Habib in fourth. On Smith's elimination hand, Mercier raised from under the gun to 60,000. Seidel flatted, and then play folded to Smith in the big blind. He reraised all-in for around 600,000. Mercier came with a reraise of his own and shoved his entire stack into the middle. Seidel quickly folded.

Mercier:

The flop, turn and river ran out to keep Mercier's queens in front and eliminate Smith from the tournament. On Habib's bust-out, Rheem raised to 70,000 first into the pot and Habib moved all-in for about 600,000. Rheem called immediately and the hands were turned face up.

Rheem:
Habib:

The flop was and the turn brought the leaving Habib with only one out. The crowd seemed to get behind him as he looked for the river miracle, but it was not to be. The bricked off on the river and Habib was out the door.

When three-handed play began, Rheem was up against Mercier and Seidel. All three were fairly close in chips and had been playing their A-games.

Mercier was clearly the fan favorite in the final table arena. He had the largest rail, and almost everyone seemed to be pulling for him. After losing a big flip to Seidel with pocket fives versus Seidel's big slick, Mercier was left short. He ended up shipping the last of his chips in from the small blind with and was called by Seidel in the big blind with . No help came for the youngest player to make the final table, and he was out the door in third place, setting the stage for a Rheem-Seidel battle.

After nearly 50 hands of heads-up play, the last hand finally took place. Rheem had been steadily eating at Seidel's stack throughout the duel and then the two got all the money in with Seidel being dominated. He held to Rheem's . Both players flopped and ace, but it was the king kicker for Rheem that held strong throughout the hand, eventually giving him a flush on the river and the victory. Rheem outlasted a superstar field of 137 players to take home $1 million and the gold championship ring.
