PartyPoker Updates Create Technical Problems

PartyPoker director of games Golan Shaked expressed his apologies to players for the company's decision to delay its 80-event Pokerfest tournament due to technical issues. With $2.5 million in guaranteed prizes, Pokerfest was scheduled to begin on Sunday (September 27th) but on Friday the company announced a month delay as a result of complications from a recent software update. “I apologize to our loyal players for having to delay this highly anticipated event," Shaked said in a statement. "With a total prize pool of $2,500,000 up for grabs, we are not willing to take even the slightest risk with our players' experience during the 80 events that make up Pokerfest." The updated Pokerfest schedule will soon be available on PartyPoker.com Buy-ins will be refunded to players and satellite winners will remain valid.
