The Micro 7-Max Championship has a very affordable $20 + $2 buy-in and a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. It’s a progressive knockout tournament and is scheduled to run for two days.

The Mini 7-Max Championship costs a little more to enter with a $200 +$15 buy-in. It has a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool. It’s also a progressive KO tournament and will run for two days.

The regular 7-Max Championship is for high rollers with a $2000 + $100 buy-in. The guaranteed prize pool is a cool $1 million. It also is a progressive KO tournament with a two-day schedule.

Most of the tournaments on the Online Championship schedule mirror the setup of the 7-Max with three tournaments of varying buy-ins and guarantees.

There are also three Online Championship Main Events – a regular, a mini and a micro. All three are scheduled to run for three days with multiple day ones available to enter. The Micro Main Event is by far the cheapest with a $100 + $9 buy-in and a $300,000 guarantee.

The Mini Main Event will cost you a lot more with a $1,000 + $50 buy-in. It does have a $1million guarantee though.

The WPT World Online Championships Main Event has a $5,000 + $300 buy-in, but it’s worth it with a $5 million guarantee. Since the Main Event has such a high price tag there are satellite qualifiers available at partypoker and they’ve already begun. The satellites have three phases and you can enter phase three for only $4 + $0.40. You can also skip ahead to phase two for $20 + $2 and phase three for $100 + $9.
