WPT Global Wants to Send You To The WPT World Championship For $5
Table Of Contents
The WPT World Championship returns on December 12 after a hugely successful debut in 2022. Last year, the inaugural WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas carried a $15 million guarantee on its prize pool, but eventually awarded $29,008,000 thanks to 2,960 players turning out in force and paying $10,400. The 2023 edition should be equally as large, and you could be playing for a life-changing prize from as little as $5, thanks to WPT Global.
WPT Global is running satellites to the 2023 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas from July 23. Those satellites start at a mere $5, and eventually feed into the $220 and $1,060 qualifiers, which hit the WPT Global lobby from August 6.
The ultimate prize is a $12,400 package consisting of entry to the $10,400 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas plus $2,000 toward expenses. Package winners are responsible for their own accommodation, travel, any visa requirements.
Also, be aware that although WPT Global accepts players aged 18 and above, you must be at least 21 years of age to compete in the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
Stephen Kehoe was among the bumper 2,960 entry crowd in the 2022 WPT World Championship; Kehoe won his way into the event via a $550 satellite online at WPT Global. Kehoe navigated his way through to the penultimate day, but came unstuck when his king-jack failed to get there against the pocket queens of Michael Rocco, and he busted in 14th place for a whopping $269,900.
Kehoe was only seven eliminations away from becoming an instant millionaire because the top six finishers banked seven-figure scores. Colton Blomberg ($1,001,050), Frank Funaro ($1,301,000), Adam Adler ($1,608,000), and Jean-Claude Moussa ($2,095,000) crashed out with $1 million+ prizes, leaving British superstar Benny Glaser heads-up against Canada's Eliot Hudon.
Hudon eventually came out on top to become the WPT World Championship's champion, an accolade that came with an incredible $4,136,000, leaving Glaser to collect a $2,830,000 consolation prize.
