This marks the second online tournament series since the network did a major upgrade to its software.
Last month, the partypoker US network rolled out a major software upgrade adding several new features, including the progressive knockout tournaments. The network also added a very popular tournament feature stack in big blinds. This allows players to see their stack sizes and bet amounts in big blinds remaining – a feature quite useful for tournament players.
The software update also included a new table layout and more customizable options that have been standard on the international client for a while.
