Main Event and WPT500 Satellites

Poker players, we have lift-off! The WPT Montreal started on Sunday with three starting flights on partypoker; Online Day 1A of the WPT500, Online Day 1 & 2 off the WPT Montreal Main Event, and Day 1 Online of the Playground 200, a well-known multi-day event. The Main Event and the WPT500 have the largest prize pool guarantees of the series, guaranteeing $3,000,000 and $1,066,000, respectively. In order to help players of all levels take a shot at these whopping prize pools, Playground has a series of satellites in store.

Following five online starting flights, the WPT500 will have eight live starting flights at Playground, including two turbo flights. Day 1A will be held on Friday, October 25, and you can try to qualify for as little at $70 + $10 thanks to satellites on October 23 and 24 that guarantee five and ten seats, respectively. These satellites have a Turbo Re-entry format, meaning that the blinds will increase every 15 minutes and players are permitted unlimited re-entries until the beginning of the ninth level of play.

The Main Event has three live starting flights, starting with Day 1A on Tuesday, October 29, continuing with Day 1B on Wednesday, October 30, and concluding with Day 1C on Thursday, October 31. For players looking to qualify at a discount, there will be eight Main Event satellites, the first of which runs on Monday, October 28. For only $330 + $30, the Main Event Re-entry Satellites permit unlimited re-entries. Click here to see the full schedule. These satellites qualify players for specific starting flights – the last two send you directly to Day 2, which allows registration during the first four levels! Be sure to consult the schedule to find the path that is right for you.

Either a WPT500 or Main Event championship is a potentially life-changing moment for players of any level. So whether you are a recreational player looking to make a breakthrough score or a seasoned tournament grinder looking to capitalize on the value offered by a discounted buy-in, these satellites are for you!
