In just about 10 minutes, the wrapping will be removed on a brand new WPT Main Tour event, the WPT Playground presented by partypoker.
Nestled on the schedule between the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open and the upcoming WPT Fallsview, this event provides players with an additional late-season opportunity to pick up WPT Player of the Year points as well as – for the winner – to qualify for the WPT Tournament of Champions in April.
Even more importantly to most players, they’ll be playing for a share of a prize pool guaranteed to be at least $1,000,000!
This event is a little different than most of the WPT Main Tour events we’ve hosted in the past in that there are 2 Day 1 starting flights with one entry and one re-entry permitted per Day. Registration is open through the dinner break following level 6, and at any time during this period, a player may join the tournament for the first time – or if they have busted, they may re-enter a single time.
We’ll be covering the entire WPT Playground here on the Playground Events Blog, and as always, the terrific WPT Live Updates team is here. You can follow their coverage here: WPT Live Updates.
Good luck to everyone playing today!
