Das wird ein heißer Sommer! Von 17. Juli bis 8. September präsentiert partypoker die $100.000.000 WPT World Online Championships, davon warten alleine $10.000.000 beim WPT Main Event ab dem 29. August.
Es wird die größte Serie, die es je auf partypoker gegeben hat. Die bisherigen Online-Kooperationen von World Poker Tour (WPT) und partypoker im Frühjahr mit der Deepstacks Serie im .eu Client und die Rekorde schreibende WPT Online Series sind Grund genug, auch hohe Erwartungein in die Premiere der WPT World Online Championships zu haben.
Fast zwei Monate lang wird gespielt und die Serie hat für alle Bankrolls etwas zu bieten. Die Event Buy-Ins liegen zwischen $33 und $102.000, wobei es natürlich auch jede Menge Satellites geben wird.
Die Serie wird auch zwölf Champion Events umfassen, aufgeteilt in drei Buy-In Kategorien – Micro, Mini und Main. Die Gewinner von fünf Championship Events werden Championships Cup Torphies erhalten und auch in den WPT Champions Club aufgenommen. Diese Spieler erhalten auch das $15.000 Ticket für das WPT Tournament of Champions presented by Baccarat Crystal, außerdem Reise- und Hotelspesen. Die fünf Events sind vier Turniere mit einem Buy-in von $3.200 und $3.000.000 GTD – 8-Max, 6-Max, Mix-Max und Knockout – und natülich das WPT World Championship Online Main Event.
Das Main Event wird das $10.300 Season XVIII WPT World Championship Online Main Event mit einer $10.000.000 Preisgeldgarantie, das von 29. August bis 2. September gespielt wird. Für dieses Event kann man sich ab $4,40 qualifizieren, sonntags gibt es ein $1.050 Sunday Final. Die Spieler können natürlich auch ihre partypoker Live Passports nutzen und müssen keine $300 Fee zahlen.
Es wird auf jeden Fall 8-Max NLH, 6-max NLH, Mix-Max NLH, Knockout NLH, PLO, PLO8 und Heads-up Championship Events geben, auch ein Micro und Mini Event für diese Turniere ist geplant.
Die Turniere sollen mehr Live-Feeling vermitteln, deshalb gibt es ähnliche Strukturen, Single Re-Entry für alle NLH Events, Freezeout Turniere sowie Beschränkungen in der Late Reg und der Anzahl der Starttage. Außerdem wird auf jeden Fall mit echten Namen und keinen Nicknames gespielt.
