The World Poker Tour's spectacular season-ender, the WPT World Championship, looms not far ahead on the poker world's horizon, and there are numerous ways for you to win your way into the $40 million guaranteed event.
The WPT expects upwards of 1,000 players to qualify for the $10,400 buy-in event via both online and live paths. Satellites run through WPT Global, ClubWPT, Wynn Las Vegas, and a record-setting number of WPT casino partners around the globe.
“Once again, holding true to last year, we are proud to offer a wide assortment of opportunities for players to secure their seat in the World Championship,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska. “WPT Global is the foremost avenue for international online players to qualify, while our casino partners scattered across the globe are hosting satellites and promotions to bring players from all walks of life to Wynn Las Vegas this December.”
