After a three years hiatus, The Cage Live is back in Costa Rica, sponsored by the Winning Poker Network (WPN). There will be four online and two live satellites in Costa Rica, guaranteeing more than 36 packages valued at $8,700. The event will be played in San Jose from August 16 to 19, 2023.

Satellites for The Cage Live

The Cage Live was, for several years, the flagship live event of the WPN network, but in 2020 it had to be abruptly stopped due to the pandemic. The American site remembers the success of this format and announced its return for 2023.

PokerKing, Americas Cardroom, and Black Chip Poker will guarantee at least 36 packages to travel to Costa Rica and play at The Cage Live to celebrate its return.

The online satellites will be played on the last three Sundays of July and August 1 at 18:05 ET. Each one costs $95 and guarantees nine packages:

July 9
July 16
July 30
August 6

Best of all, you can win entry to this satellite for free through the weekly leaderboard of The Beast race.

The package includes the following:

Buy-in for The Cage: $5,250
Travel expenses: $800
Five nights' accommodation at the Sheraton Hotel (five stars) and transportation to and from the airport
Money for expenses: $1,000
Cash games money: $400

In addition, those in Costa Rica can play $440 live satellites on August 16th and 17th to win an additional buy-in for Day 1.

Packages for The Cage have no value, although they can be transferred to another player. The winnings from the event will be credited to the player's WPN account.

The Cage

The Cage format is a mix between tournaments and cash games, in which players cannot withdraw their winnings until the end of Day 2.

On Day 1, players get 5,000 chips (they can rebuy for another $5,250)
The blinds increase throughout the day, just like in a regular tournament
The stacks of every day 1 are summed up for Day 2
Day 2 is played like a tournament with three-hour levels
At the end of Day 2, players exchange their chips for money at a 1:1rate

One of the main novelties lies in a Second Chance tournament in Mystery Bounty format for $660.
