The Satellites of the WCC

January 15, 2019January 15, 2019 | Playground

The World Cup of Cards is approaching, with its multitude of fun tournaments and all the formats you love. Within the series, you will also find an abundance of satellite tournaments for the WPTDeepStacks, the CPPT, and the MILLIONS Main Event.

Six (6) WPTDeepStacks Satellites – $165 + $15

The WPTDeepStacks is the World Cup of Cards Main Event. The buy-in is $1,500 + $150, but you will find many opportunities to claim one of the 29 guaranteed seats and play the tournament for one tenth of the price. With a $750,000 guarantee, this tournament is sure to create some pretty good action.

Two (2) CPPT Satellites – $110 + $10

The Card Player Poker Tour Event (CPPT) has a $1,000 + $100 entry fee. It sits towards the end of the festival with a $500,000 guarantee; a great way to shoot for some last minute hard cash!

The festival is also an amazing platform towards the MILLIONS North America, as it provides high-value chances to book a seat early for partypoker LIVE’s premier high roller poker tournament, coming to Playground in May. The MILLIONS Main Event, priced at $10,300, offers a $5,000,000 guarantee, and the lion share may have your name on it!

The MILLIONS has a 3-Step satellite tree in place which has been running since the beginning of December:

STEP 1 – $80 + $10
STEP 2 – $400 + $40
STEP 3 – $1,500 + $150

Tickets and seats won are non-transferable. Gone are the option of firing multiple bullets in the same flight and the rough dilemma of selling your hard-earned seat or not; qualifiers must play, and will not see deep-pocketed players come out blazing with a re-entry back-up plan. The field is levelled across the board.

The WCC schedule has 5 Step-1 Satellites with guarantees doubled to 10 seats. If these guarantees are met, the events will send roughly 1 in 5.5 players to the next Step 2 Satellite. If not, the value increases! These Step 1s all funnel down to those dates:

Friday, February 1 – Step 2 – 30 Seats Guaranteed
Saturday, February 2 – Step 3 – 10 MILLIONS Main Event Seats Guaranteed

Don’t miss out on these amazing opportunities provided within the WCC, Winter’s Hottest Festival, and keep an eye on the extra value!
