The WPT Montreal is finally here! At Playground, we are extremely excited to host the WPT500, the WPT Main Tour, and the WPTDeepStacks, all grouped together in a first-of-its-kind festival, and while the WPT500 Day 1s Online have already been played (see the results here), the live portion of the festival starts Friday!

The festival, kicking off the new 4-year partnership between partypoker LIVE and WPT, presents 7 official World Poker Tour Events, with combined guarantees of over $8,000,000. The Main Event has a $5000 + $300 buy-in and a cool $5,000,000 in its own guaranteed prize pool! Check out the full schedule here.

The big blind ante
This festival will also introduce the big blind ante to Playground, an exciting novelty for our venue. The big blind ante is similar to the button ante, but instead of being asked from the player on the button, it is the player in the big blind who has to pay it. Read up on the big blind ante here.
$12K Overlay
Within the WPT Montreal, you will also find a unique opportunity to qualify for the Caribbean Poker Party: a $1,200 + $100 Overlay Satellite with one package to the famous poker festival under the sun for every 10 entries, plus an added $12K package! That’s right, this satellite guarantees an overlay of $12,000 in the prize pool! The package breakdown:
- One (1) $5,300 Main Event seat.
- Nine (9) nights, Bed & Breakfast for two people, at Baha Mar.
