The World Poker Tour® and partypoker are on a record-setting pace through the first full week of the inaugural WPT® Online Series.
Through one week of play and 27 events, the WPT Online Series has achieved more than 40,000 entries and more than $25 million in collected prize pools.
The $3,200 buy-in, $5 million guaranteed main event is on pace to break the record for most entries in a WPT Main Tour event. The first starting flight drew 808 entries, with three more starting flights to come and more than $2.4 million already in the prize pool. The current record is 1,795 in the Season XII WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown in 2014. When finished, this will be the first time in WPT’s 18 year history that an online winner will be featured on the prestigious WPT Champions Cup.
