WPT Global Preheat Festival

WPT Global has revealed a pair of online poker tournament festivals coming your way in July, and we have to say they look fantastic. The Summer Festival is currently being assembled and will run from July 28 through August 18th, with at least $7 million guaranteed.

You have plenty of opportunities to practice at the WPT Global tables before the Summer Festival because the $3 million guaranteed Preheat Festival runs from July 12-21.

The WPT Global Preheat Festival is the perfect warm-up for the upcoming Summer Festival. The Preheat Festival boasts 203 tournaments with buy-ins from $5.50 to $2,100 and guaranteed prize pools from $3,000 to a cool $300,000!

WPT Global Preheat Festival Key Events

Event #3 is one of the best value events on the Preheat Festival's schedule. It is the $22 buy-in Mini Championship boasting a juicy $80,000 guarantee. Eighteen flights run from July 12 through July 20, with Day 2 starting at 11:00 a.m. ET on July 20.

The high rollers among you should keep July 20 free from 12:00 p.m. ET because that is when the huge High Roller PKO event shuffles up and deals. It costs $2,100 to enter unless you win your way in via a satellite, and it guarantees to award at least $200,000.

The Main Event of the Preheat Festival will be nothing short of spectacular. The $220 Championship comes with the largest guaranteed prize pool of any other event, one weighing in at a cool $300,000. You have a choice of 21 flights for the $300,000 guaranteed Championship Event; they run at least twice per day throughout the festival, ending with Day 2 at 11:45 p.m. ET on July 21.
