partypoker: $1,000,000 Cash Game Leaderboards in March 2020

partypoker decided to raise the stake of the money guaranteed in monthly promotions, to compete mainly with the GGPoker Network. Like Good Game, in partypoker, the main locomotive of this process will be rake races. In March, party will have a full million dollars in four weekly Cash Game Leaderboards races.

Cash Game Leaderboards: $250,000 in prizes per week

Compared to the last change in the race that took place a week ago, in addition to increasing the total prize pool, the number of leaderboards has also changed: there are two more, for a total of 16. NL/PLO100$ and NL/PLO200$ will be divided into two parts.

Now the number of leaderboards has almost reached its maximum, unless in the future, "Rob Yong and company" decide to separate the highest stakes from NL1k. Still, such players already have the Diamond Club Elite Rake Race.

How did the prizes in the individual leaderboards change after adding $70,000 in prizes?

In all events, payouts decreased, even for the race winner or the last player in the line.

The rules of the rake race also specify that only Hold'em and Omaha 6-max will count towards the promotion. 6+ Hold'em and HU tables don't participate in it.

It's clear that, in any scenario, players will remain dissatisfied with the changes. But only in March, we will find out how users reacted by checking the traffic dynamics.
