Detailed information on qualification can be found at: http://www.partypoker.com/news/items/million_dollar_birthday_qualifier_structure.html.
There are promotions running all week leading up to the Sunday bash, which are as follows:
Tuesday 5th August – Magic Hand
On Tuesday a magic hand will appear once every 77,777 hands. If you’re lucky enough to hit one, both you and all the players at your table will win a share of up to $300. The winner of the hand will get 50% of the money rewarded while the rest of the table will share the remaining amount. That means you don’t even have to win the hand to receive a payout. The cash prize depends on the game you’re in when the magic hand is played. $300 is awarded to $3/$6 limit tables or higher, $0.50/$1 no limit or higher, $0.50/$1 pot limit or higher. $200 is awarded for $2/$4 limit tables and lower, $0.25/$0.50 no limit and lower, $0.25/$0.50 pot limit and lower and any tournaments. $100 for a magic hand is available for freerolls.
Wednesday 6th August - $777 tournaments
Seven special tournaments each paying out $777 in prize money, with the top 77 players getting the cash. You can enter as many of the seven as you want and they are spread throughout the day. The tournaments take place at 08.00 ET, 10.00 ET, 12.00 ET, 14.00 ET, 16.00 ET, 18.00 ET and 20.00 ET.
