In addition to the return of Live Millions and the launch of the Partypoker Championship tour, live/online hybrid events have been added to the roster.
The WCOAP will join these events on the roster and make a return to the live scene in June. The last time the WCOAP ran in a live setting was in 2019 at Concord Card Casino in Austria. Partypoker took the reins in 2020 and 2021, hosting the series online due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Now, with live tournaments running without restrictions, Partypoker is taking the world’s largest amateur event back to Dusk Till Dawn for the first time since 2013.

June 29: £60 ($75) WCOAP Short Deck Championship
July 2: £120 ($145) WCOAP Tag Championship
