WPT Summer Festival: Over $1 million guaranteed at WPT Global
The trending online poker room WPT Global will host a massive online event to celebrate the most awaited season of the year: WPT Summer Festival will include 50 tournaments, boasting an impressive $1M GTD Main Event.
WPT Summer Festival
We knew WPT Global online poker room would shock the industry after it opened its doors just a few months ago. During this short time, they have:
- Announced the first NFT club
- Recruited Doyle Brunson to their ambassador roster
- Held a massive welcome event with $100,000 added
Now they will motivate all players to play during the summer with a new tournament series:
WPT Global will host the Summer Festival from July 20 to August 22. The schedule includes 50 tournaments with several headliners and a massive $1M GTD Main Event.
The full schedule of the event is yet to be announced, but we do know the following:
- Buy-ins from $1 to $2,000
- 50 events during one month
- Champion Trophies for the winners of all headline (main and side) events
- $1 Million GTD Main Event for $330
- Live stream on the final table of the $1-1 million event on August 22 via Twitch
- NLH, PLO, and Short Deck events
- Freerolls for all players ITM
- $500 satellites for the $15M GTD WPT World Championship (live event to be played in Las Vegas in December)
All tournament winners will get a seat for the Tournament of Champions freeroll.
Full schedule of the WPT Global Summer Festival:

| July 25 - July 31 | Mon - Sunday | The Mini Showdown | $22 | $50.000 |
From the schedule, we highlight:
- All flights are capped to 12,000 players, except the "$1 for 1 million", capped to 5,000
- The top 15% of players (13% for the "$1 for 1 million") will move to the next day
The $1 for 1 million honors its name a promises to become a massive tournament. Flights will be played every Wednesday and Sunday from July 20 until August 22, when the final table kicks off. Of course, WPT Global won't be able to collect 1 million entries, hence this marketing strategy will result in an important overlay for players.
