WPT Global KO Series

Lace-up your glove and prepare to step into the arena with your fellow WPT Global players in the massive KO Series. The first bell sounds on February 23, with WPT Global not throwing in the towel until the 94th and final event concluded on March 3. It's going to be an action-packed ten days, for sure.

The WPT Global KO Series enters the fray at 6:00 a.m. ET on February 23 with the first of 94 scheduled bounty events. A $22 buy-in, $5,000 guaranteed Classic Bounty Hunter is the first to step into the ring, serving as an excellent warm-up for what lies in store.

The first day of the WPT Global KO Series presents you with your first opportunity to build a stack in the KO Main Event and KO Mini Main Event. Both Main Events have several Day 1s running throughout the online poker series as WPT Global attempts to reach some impressive guarantees.

Costing only $22 to enter yet boasting a $75,000 guaranteed prize pool, the KO Mini Main Event is sure to appeal to recreational and professional players alike, while the KO Main Event, with its $220 buy-in and massive $250,000 guarantee, will have WPT Global players hitting up satellites like there is no tomorrow.

Some of the other WPT Global KO Series highlights include the weekly $110 Crazy Sunday PKO ($100,000 guaranteed) and a $2,100 High Roller guaranteeing to award at least $200,000.

WPT Global KO Series Leaderboard Prizes

As if playing for a share of a purse guaranteed to be more than $2 million isn't enough to have you downloading WPT Global, the fast-rising online poker site is running a WPT Global KO Series leaderboard with some cool prizes that add more value to your grind.

Instead of awarding you leaderboard points based on your finishing position, the WPT Global KO Series is based purely on how many opponents you knock out and send to the rail. The more aggressively you play and the more foes you leave on the canvas, the better your chances of capturing a prize.

The leaderboard pays out the top 200 points earners. The first rung on the payout ladder is a $10 Global Spins ticket, with prizes increasing in value until the leaderboard's champion has their hand held aloft. Whoever that worthy winner is, they will receive a bunch of tickets for the soon-to-be-announced Spring Festival worth a cool $12,400!
