A special tournament is on the menu tonight, as we welcome back the tournament champions from the 2016 Playground Poker Fall Classic.
Every event winner from the 16 events that took place in November was invited back to participate in a “Champion’s Freeroll”, a no-cost tournament where a $3,200 + $300 seat to the partypoker.net WPT Playground was added into the prize pool. In addition to the seat, the winner will also take home a stunning partypoker.net WPT Montreal Festival Champion’s Trophy to immortalize the moment.
Headlining the field is Hall of Famer and poker legend Mike Sexton, who is not only the voice and face of the WPT, but also the partypoker.net WPT Montreal Champion! Mike bested a field of 648 players to make history and add an impressive feat to his poker career.
