A Fresh Spin on the Championship Event
What's brewing this time around is the abolition of the guaranteed $10,400 buy-in for the no-limit hold'em WPT World Championship event. The 2023 tournament saw a spectacular $40 million guarantee, which unfortunately fell short of the mark. With a whopping 3,835 entries, the tournament boasted the largest field in WPT main tour history, but it suffered an overlay of more than $2.4 million.
Fast forward to December 2024, the event will span over seven days, with three starting flights that cater to one entry per participant. The climax will unfold after the initial flights, as competitors scramble for the prestigious title.
Silky Smooth Sailing Ahead
Ryan Beauregard, the Executive Director of Poker Operations at Wynn Las Vegas, is brimming with excitement about the championship program for 2024. "We've concocted a sensational schedule for the World Championship this year, featuring over 60 events including satellites," Beauregard declared. With over 500 qualifiers and satellite winners plus the faithful supporters of Wynn Las Vegas and the WPT, Beauregard is confident that these factors will contribute to the success of the tournament.
Aside from the main competition, the $1,100 buy-in WPT Prime competition will also make a triumphant comeback for its third running, boasting a massive $5 million guarantee. The tournament, which unfurls from December 8-14, makes for the perfect prelude to the main event.
Breaking Ground with a Historical Freeroll
As a cherry on top, an unprecedented $5 million freeroll tournament is up for grabs, marking a significant milestone in the poker industry. The lucky winner will walk away with an astonishing $1 million prize! Moreover, this freeroll competition will grant 100 seats into the $10,400 championship event for eager participants looking to take their shot at the top tier.
A Brighter Future for Poker Enthusiasts
"Our return to Wynn Las Vegas this December represents another substantial investment into the development and evolution of not only the WPT World Championship but also the poker industry as a whole," WPT CEO and President Adam Pliska declared. The event is part of the unveiling of ClubWPT Gold, which aims to establish a new gold standard in the poker scene, according to Pliska.
