THE WORLD POKER TOUR IS BACK
THE WORLD POKER TOUR IS BACK
The World Poker Tour is back in 2022. The WPT kicks off its route with the Star Gold Coast Prime event No Limit Hold’em in Australia, with a $1,500 AUD buy-in (AUD$1,350 + $150 = $1,500) and its mid-stakes tournament offering that will replace the WPTDeepStacks.
The WPT Prime Gold Coast festival will take place from June 9-20 with 11 events over a 12-day period, with the main event taking place from June 16-20th.
Some of the highlights include the $1,000 ($600 + $300 + $100) Mystery Bounty, which will be the first Mystery Bounty event to be held in an Australian casino, along with the $1,500 ($1,330 + $170) Main Event, featuring a starting stack of 30,000 chips. Tournament buy-ins start at just $330 ($300 + $30), so it will fit any budget.
The winner of the WPT Player of the Festival award will be the player who earns the most POF points during the period comprising such WPT Festival.
In the event of a tie on points, the following tiebreaking system will apply (only move to the next numbered tiebreaker if players tying are still equal):
- 1st tiebreaker - Most Titles
- 2nd tiebreaker - Most Final Tables*
- 3rd tiebreaker - Most In The Points
- 4th tiebreaker - Most $ Won*
The winner of the Promotion will win a WPT Passport valued at $5,400 AUD for entry to the 2022 WPT Australia Main Event taking place at The Star Gold Coast September 23-27, 2022.
You can get your stay at the Star Gold Coast with a 25% discount using the promotion code “WPT2022”.
It will be from September 15th to 27th when the Star Gold Coast festival and the inaugural stop of the WPT Main Tour with a buy-in of $ 5,400 AUD take place in Australia from the 23th to 27th of that same month.
Each event will be broadcast live and streamed globally on WPT.com and the WPT YouTube and Twitch channels.
