High Stakes on TV

Online qualifiers for PartyPoker.com Scandinavian Poker Masters – The Game, Scandinavia’s first televised high stakes cash game are still available at PartyPoker.com.

Time is running out to qualify as there are now only two semi-final packages left up for grabs worth $11,000, which includes buy-in, hotel and travel expenses.

The two six-player semi-finals and cash game final take place in front of television cameras in London from 13-17 August.

The two winners of the semi-finals will take on 12 of Scandinavia’s top players in ‘The Game,’ an exclusive high stakes cash game. Patrik Antonius, Martin De Knijff and Mats Rahm will take on the qualifiers along with the likes of Jan Sørensen, Kristian Kjøndal, Per Hildebrand, Rene Mouritsen and Tore Lagerborg.

PartyPoker.com will pay the buy-in of $50,000 for the two qualifiers. The ten semi-finalists that miss out on the final will play for a share of $20,000 in a runner-up tournament.

The high stakes cash game will be televised this autumn. Since this is a cash game there is no given prizepool, but every player has to buy in for an initial $50,000. ‘The Game’ will continue as long as there is money left or until the time runs out.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “The field is nearly full but there is still a chance to qualify for a place at the table in Scandinavia’s first televised high stakes cash game."
