partypoker LIVE has announced plans to organise a €1m GTD €2,200 buy-in Nordic Poker Championships as part of the annual poker festivities in Prague, Czech Republic.

#7 of Mike Sexton’s ten-point plan when he joined partypoker as Chairman was to develop partypoker LIVE to become the largest live poker tour in the world.

It seems, when you drill down into the nitty gritty of that plan, expanding their reach into the niche tours is a significant milestone.

Yesterday, partypoker LIVE announced plans to host the 2017 Nordic Poker Championships. It’s a move that’s aligned with the signing of the Norwegian duo of Johnny Lodden and Thomas Udness to help promote the brand in the Nordic regions.
