The players are sure to come out in droves on the hunt for the highly coveted circuit rings and the tremendous value offered by this series.

WSOPC Playground Colossus

The first event of the series, the $300 + $30 Colossus, is one of the most accessible and value-laden tournaments to be found anywhere in the world. With a modest buy-in, players can take as many shots as they want at the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. There are nine live starting flights as well as four online Day 1s on partypoker, and all of them allow for unlimited re-entries. Players can enter multiple Day 1s to bring forward the largest possible stack to Day 2; if they qualify more than once, then the largest stack will be used for Day 2 and all other stacks will be forfeited for a minimum cash.

WSOPC Playground $1,100 Main Event

The $1,100 Main Event offers another opportunity at exceptional value and will be introducing an innovative way for online players to participate. Thanks to partypoker’s trailblazing approach, players will be able to play an online flight for the Main Event that combines Days 1 and 2 so qualifying players will arrive at Playground with a minimum cash already secured.

Satellites to the combined online flight will be running in the lead up to the event so check your partypoker client for all the details. There are also many ways to participate once the live starting flights begin. It starts with three live Day 1s that allow players a single re-entry at any point in the flight. From there, players will be funneled into one of two Day 2 flights that also permit one entry and re-entry per flight during the first two levels of play. Players may enter multiple Day 1s; if they are fortunate enough to advance multiple qualifying stacks, then the largest stack will be used to start Day 2. Players will be able to play their way into the Main Event at a discount through one (or more) of the six $110 + $10 unlimited re-entry satellites that guarantee a total of 170 seats to this event.
