Last month, the
$3,500 WPT Online Poker Open Main Event, which boasts a $1,000,000 guarantee.
The WPT Online Poker Open Main Event will be held Dec. 27-29 on
The ambitious $1 million guarantee signifies how serious the WPT and partypoker are about making this a premier poker tournament worthy of the WPT name.
âThe WPT Online Poker Open brings the most prestigious prize in poker to New Jersey and the partypoker US Network,â said WPT CEO
Adam Pliska in a presser. âWPTâs continued pivot toward online will continue with another landmark for regulated online poker in the United States.â
Indeed, the WPT has pivoted into a strong series of online offerings, however, all were offered to the dot-com partypoker player pool, a much larger bunch of customers than the prospective New Jersey pool. Drawing the necessary entries to meet the guarantee will require some effort, and the WPT already announced satellites will be available for as little as $5.
