Las Vegas, NV (October 23, 2024) – This weekend, ClubWPT™*, the subscription-based, online home of the World Poker Tour®, offers a trove of last-chance qualifiers for players to win their way to the WPT® World Championship festival, including ways into the WPT World Championship, WPT Prime Championship, and ClubWPT Gold $5M Invitational Freeroll**.
“ClubWPT is a qualifying hub connected to the most coveted opportunities on the WPT schedule,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska. “This year has seen ample opportunities for Club members to win their way to a VIP experience at Wynn in December, and there are still some excellent chances remaining, even ways to enter the largest freeroll in poker history.”
The most lucrative event for ClubWPT members to win their way into is the $10,400 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, and a culminating qualification opportunity to that event is on the horizon. The $125,000 World Championship Challenge will award the top 10 finishers a $12,000 WPT World Championship Passport, which includes a $10,400 seat and $1,500 travel stipend.
To date, ClubWPT has run a total of 15 satellites for the $125,000 World Championship Challenge, qualifying 25 players from each. One satellite remains. Oct. 27, ClubWPT VIP & Diamond members are eligible to take their shot at the final 25 seats into the 400-entry finale on Sunday, Nov. 3.
This weekend also offers four opportunities to qualify for the ClubWPT Gold $5M Invitational Freeroll, two on Oct. 26 and two on Oct. 27. The qualifiers span all ClubWPT membership levels (VIP, Diamond, and Super SATurdays) and will each award a Golden Passport, which is the only way to be eligible to play in the freeroll, as well as a $1,000 travel stipend.
For an even easier way to enter the freeroll event of the year, ClubWPT is hosting a free drawing on Oct. 30 that will award a Golden Passport to five lucky members. To be eligible for the drawing, players must be a ClubWPT member and have signed up for a ClubWPT Gold account at www.ClubWPTGold.com using code CLUBWPT.
“We want our group of over 300 qualifiers to have the best experience possible at the WPT World Championship Festival,” said WPT VP of Online Services Jeremy Clemons. “When you win a passport through ClubWPT, you win a VIP experience that money can’t buy, including access to private events and meet and greets with WPT talent and ambassadors.”
The overall ClubWPT Player of the Year will be awarded a $12,000 WPT World Championship Passport, while the runner-up will be awarded a $2,500 WPT Prime Championship Passport. The ClubWPT Diamond Leaderboard Competition, specific to Diamond members, will also award a $12,000 WPT World Championship Passport to the top performer, and a $2,500 WPT Prime Championship Passport to the second and third-place finishers.
