Las Vegas, NV (September 25, 2023) – The World Poker Tour® season-ending finale is set and there is an abundance of qualification paths available for players to win their way into the $40,000,000 guaranteed WPT® World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
Ultimately, WPT expects more than 1,000 players to qualify for the $10,400 buy-in Championship Event via online and live partners. Satellites to the WPT World Championship are offered through WPT Global*, ClubWPT™**, Wynn Las Vegas, and a record-setting number of WPT casino partners around the world.
“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.”
WPT Global is offering direct WPT World Championship qualifier tournaments every Sunday with a $1,060 buy-in at 5:30 p.m. EST which guarantees eight $12,400 Passports and a $220 buy-in at 7:30 p.m. EST that guarantees one $12,400 Passport. Players can win their way into these Sunday Qualifiers via feeder tournaments with buy-ins as low as $5 and can sign up now for free entries into these qualifying opportunities.
On top of direct satellites, WPT Global is offering many more ways to score a $12,400 WPT World Championship Passport, including the upcoming WPT Global Fall Festival, a monthly Discord Tournament challenge, weekly Scavenger Hunt, PLO Rake Challenge and Kings of Cash promotion.
