Players are permitted to make one re-entry and late registration is left open until the beginning of Day 2.
When the WPT Prague Main Event ran in 2015, a total of 256 entries were processed, which generated a prize pool of €773,824. The lion’s share of this prize pool went to Spain’s Javier Gomez who won €175,000 and a seat to the WPT Tournament of Champions. Will it be you who returns home from Prague as a WPT champion this year?
