This coming December, at the Wynn in Las Vegas, the World Poker Tour (WPT) will host a historic event that will set a record for the largest guaranteed prize pool in live poker history, and anyone can win their way into the field.
The WPT World Championship, a $10,400 buy-in no-limit hold'em event, runs from December 12-20 and — get this — promises at least $15 million in prize money will be awarded.
When the tournament runs, assuming overlay is avoided, it will have the largest field for any $10,000 or above buy-in tournament outside of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) (excluding $1 million buy-ins).
