WPT’s first online Poker Series launched alongside Partypoker

The World Poker Tour is one of the oldest and must trusted names in all of poker. In fact, it’s really the first major live tour name that truly went around the world, and along with the World Series of Poker, has done more than any other brand to grow the game.

It’s fitting, then, that in this era of Coronavirus, the World Poker Tour is heading online to provide poker players with the ultimate poker event with a big guaranteed prizepool and more tournaments than you could shake Vince Van Patten at.

Taking place between the dates of May 10th and May 26th, the WPT Online Series has an overall guarantee of $30 million across the entire series on partypoker, with the World Poker Tour events specifically totalling $7 million.

You’d fairly obviously want to be playing the whole series therefore, but with a red ring around the calendar date of the WPT Online Championship. That event alone has a $5 million guarantee and costs $3,200 to enter, with Day 1 flights running from the start of the online festival.
