Anyone who is on the fence about entering the WPT Summer Festival Main Event online at WPT Global needs to hurry up and jump into the action because there are only a handful of Day 1s remaining on the schedule.

The WPT Summer Festival Main Event commands a $330 buy-in, but for that, you get the opportunity to play for a share of a guaranteed $1 million prize pool. Like the other value-packed WPT Summer Festival featured events, the Main Event is almost certain to overlay, giving you even more reasons to buy into this incredible tournament.

At the time of writing, 106 players have progressed from the various Main Event Day 1s and have locked in their Day 2 seats. First place should weigh in at over $200,000, which is a huge amount, and getting your hands on it would be the perfect way to close out the summer.

It is not only the $1 million guaranteed WPT Summer Festival Main Event that has the poker community excited because the $33 buy-in $100,000 guaranteed Mini Main Event is running alongside it. Only 88 players have progressed to the August 21 Day 2 and nobody has more chip right now than "Avowa" who turned their 10,000 starting stack into 263,689 on their Day 1.

Look no further than the $1 For $1 Million event if you are looking for perhaps the best-value online poker tournament of all time. As the name suggests, a mere $1 investment is enough to see you compete for a prize pool guaranteed to be $1 million! WPT Global looks set to add $900,000 to the prize pool to ensure the guarantee obligations are met! Can you afford to turn down the chance to play in such a marvelous event?

"cbplo" is the player to catch in the $1 for $1 Million, having amassed 1,054,207 chips, the only player to be armed with a seven-figure stack. Can you catch them?

A recently revised structure of this event sees Day 2 take place on October 1 with Day 3 now penned in for October 2. As an apology for any inconvenience caused, WPT Global is awarding a $330 ticket to the $1 million guaranteed Summer Festival Main Event to anyone who reached the original Day 2, which was set for originally August 21.
