When the World Poker Tour and Wynn Las Vegas announced they were coming together and creating a $10,400 buy-in tournament with a $15 million guaranteed prize pool, the poker community thought they had gone crazy. Imagine what those people will think about WPT Global's plans to send someone to Las Vegas to compete in that $15 million guaranteed event for only $5. It's happening!

The historic $10,400 buy-in $15 million guaranteed tournament is the first WPT Main Tour event held at the Wynn and it is already one of the most talked about live events ever. Running from December 12-20, the WPT World Championship is a must-play event for anyone who can scrape together the $10,400 buy-in. Of course, $10,400 is a lot of money, which is why WPT Global is making it possible to win entry to the WPT World Championship plus $2,000 cash for expenses, from only $5!

The online poker site that brought to you the value-packed WPT Summer Festival, free shots at a $100,000 Welcome Event, and made it possible to turn $1 into a share of a guaranteed $1 million, is now hosting satellites to the $10,400 WPT World Championship.

$5 and $55 buy-in step-satellites run daily, which feed into the weekly $550 WPT World Championship Satellite. The $5 buy-in set-stallites award $55 step-satellite tickets, with the $55 step-satellites paying out in $550 WPT World Championship Satellite entries. You can buy into any stage that your bankroll allows, including the $550 buy-in satellite.

One $12,400 package is guaranteed to be won every Saturday until November 26, with the cards firing into the air from 5:00 p.m. ET. Whoever is the last player standing in the satellite receives the following package:

  • $10,400 entry to the $15 million guaranteed WPT World Championship
  • $2,000 travel stipend
  • WPT Global merchandise
  • A special WPT Global Player Experience during the live event

Please be aware that due to Las Vegas gambling laws, you must be at least 21-years-old to play in the WPT World Championship. Please ensure that you are of legal gambling age before trying to win a package at WPT Global because packages are non-transferable and have no cash alternative.
