WPT Online Series Po Hunt

The eagerly anticipated 2021 WPT Online Series commences at partypoker on May 14 and does so with a tournament laden with added value.

Cards are in the air in the WPT #00 Pro Hunt: $30K Gtd event from 7:05 p.m. BST on May 14, and everyone is looking forward to getting their teeth into this tournament. It comes with an affordable buy-in of only $33 and a juicy guaranteed prize pool worth $30,000. But that only tells part of the story because partypoker is adding more than $6,000 worth of additional prizes to the prize pool.

These prizes come in the form of bounties on 18 of its Team partypoker Pros and streamers. Such luminaries as Patrick Leonard, Mikita Badziakouski, Kristen Bicknell, and Joao Simao are buying into this event and doing so with a mystery bounty on their heads.

Bust any of the 18 stars, shown in the table below, from the Pro Hunt tournament to receive a special prize. These range from tournament tickets worth $33 right up to a $320 WPT Online Main Event satellite seat. You will not know what prize you have won until it nestles in your count shortly after eliminating one of the Pros.

There are some superb WPT Online Series events scheduled for the opening weekend. We have already informed you about the value-packed Pro Hunt event, but check out the table below for a comprehensive list of the tournaments you can play over the course of this weekend.

Some of the tournaments have buy-ins that may be outside the constraints of your bankroll. Do not worry of that is the case because partypoker has tons of satellites running around the clock that feed into the biggest events.
