Las Vegas, NV (October 6, 2022) – In the weeks and months since the World Poker Tour ® announced the WPT ® World Championship, players from around the globe have been qualifying in a myriad of ways for a seat to the $15,000,000 guaranteed event.
Ultimately, WPT expects more than 500 players to qualify for the World Championship via online and offline pathways. Satellites to the WPT World Championship are offered through WPT Global*, ClubWPT™ and the WPT Feeder and Funnel Program, which utilizes live casino partners across the world.
“By offering so many different avenues to the WPT World Championship, poker players of all backgrounds and skill levels can be a part of this record-breaking event,” said Adam Pliska, WPT CEO. “We look forward to greeting all qualifiers at the renowned Wynn Las Vegas in December.”
WPT ambassadors Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen each hosted an online meet-up game event on ClubWPT, which awarded a $12,000 WPT World Championship passport to the winner. The grand prize of Neeme’s tournament went to Stacey Breslin, product manager from Lakemoor, Illinois. Owen ended up winning his own tournament and gifted the grand prize to the second-place finisher, Billy Haines, a semi-retired airline pilot from Superior, Colorado.
The $12,000 WPT World Championship Passport packages encompass the $10,400 buy-in to the main event, a four-night stay at Wynn Las Vegas and $1,000 cash for travel expenses.
