Ready To Battle: Darren Elias Brings End Boss Poker Series to Partypoker US Network
The partypoker US Network is adding end game bonuses along with big prize pools in November for players in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Each state hosts its own independent Online Series monthly. Those have been converted this month into the End Boss Poker Series.
The move is in conjunction with four-time World Poker Tour champion Darren “End Boss” Elias becoming a site ambassador. He helped develop the series with a wide range of players in mind.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the End Boss Poker Series to our players, BetMGM director of poker Luke Staudenmaier said in a news release. “During the development process, we worked closely with Darren, a poker legend, to ensure that the series was accessible to those celebrating the holiday weekend and created with the entire partypoker US Network in mind, from our recreational players to our most competitive players.”

Here’s a look at the partypoker online poker skins in each state hosting events:
- New Jersey – partypoker, BetMGM, Borgata Poker
- Pennsylvania – BetMGM, Borgata Poker
- Michigan – BetMGM
All three markets are “ringed-in” environments, meaning players only compete with others within that state. The End Boss Series runs concurrently in each state.
