An executive decision was made in the latter part of 2020 to host the series online. With COVID-19 creating an uncertain climate, the team committed to running the series on Partypoker.

That was a wise decision as the Playground Poker Club has been closed since October. Fortunately for players, Partypoker has stepped into the breach and WPT Montreal will get underway online this Sunday.
