WPT, a proud sponsor of the popular poker show Hustler Casino Live, has recently announced the WPT Global Summer Festival, set to run from July 28 to August 18. This exciting online poker series offers over $8 million in guarantees across 350 tournaments, providing players the opportunity to win big.
The WPT Global Summer Festival features a wide array of tournaments catering to all levels of players. The series kicked off yesterday July 28, with events including the $530 WPT500, $220 Championship, and $22 Mini Championship. Players can aim for the prestigious Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup in the $3,500 Championship or try their luck in the WPT Prime and other major events. The festival also includes popular tournaments like the $110 Sunday Slam, $330 Grand Slam, and $11 Mini Slam.
Throughout the festival, players can enjoy a variety of tournament formats, including No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE), Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), and Short Deck. With entry fees starting as low as $5.50. Additionally, satellites are available, offering a chance to qualify for larger tournaments at a fraction of the cost, making it easier for players to climb the ranks and build their bankrolls.
A highlight of the festival is the $75,000 Festival Freeroll on August 25. Players can earn their entry by participating in at least 30 Summer Festival tournaments or accumulating $500 in tournament entries. The more events entered, the larger the starting stack, ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 chips. Players who reach Gold Level Status by participating in 100 tournaments or spending $5,000 in entries will also enter a draw for a $12,400 package to play in the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas in December.
For those looking to boost their Festival Freeroll stack, playing PLO cash games from July 28 to August 18 can add 200 chips per 100 hands played, up to a maximum of 4,000 chips.
Winners of any Summer Festival tournament will also qualify for the $25,000 Champion of Champions Freeroll on August 25. Each tournament win grants a 5,000 chip starting stack, with additional wins providing further 5,000 chip add-ons. The prize pool for this event includes MTT tickets for the upcoming WPT Global Fall Festival.
