The WPT World Online Championships<\/strong> are back again at partypoker<\/strong><\/a> in August and September, allowing players around the world to battle for a title. The series runs Aug. 13 to Sept. 15, highlighted by the $3,200 Main Event with a $5 million<\/strong> guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival offers players once again a chance at some online WPT glory.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe WPT World Online Championships are back and I can\u2019t wait to play,\u201d Team partypoker\u2019s Patrick Leonard<\/strong> said in a news release. \u201cThe WPT Main Event should be a great tournament with satellites running now.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What to expect from the WPT partypoker action<\/span><\/h2>\n

The main event plays out over four days, with starting flights running on three consecutive Sundays beginning Aug. 29<\/strong>. Day 2 is set for Sept. 13 with the final two days on Sept. 14-15<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partypoker is once again trying to get players of all bankrolls involved. Players can qualify for just a penny, with centrolls<\/strong> already running and satellite finals<\/strong> held every Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The $0.01<\/strong> satellites award at least 15 tickets<\/strong> to the $4.40 buy-in Phase 1. Players can then advance to a $22 buy-in Phase 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s then followed by the $109 Phase 3. This leads into the weekly final<\/strong>, where 20 Main Event Day 1A tickets will be awarded.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2020, the United Kingdom\u2019s<\/a> Phil Mighall<\/strong> became the inaugural main event champion. He topped a field of 1,011 players to win $1.6 million<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partypoker has announced one more event so far as part of the series. The $33 WPT Pro Hunt<\/strong> features a $30,000<\/strong> guarantee and a progressive knockout format.<\/span><\/p>\n

Team partypoker pros and other high-profile players will be out in force during the event. The tournament also comes with a charity<\/strong> angle, with 20%<\/strong> of the prize pool being donated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of those competing include Team partypoker\u2019s Jaime Staples<\/strong>, Courtney Gee<\/strong>, Patrick Leonard, Joao Simao, Joni Jouhkimainen, and Mikita Bodyakovskiy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knocking out a pro will also bring some bonus prizes for players, including $109 tickets<\/strong> to main event satellite finals. The tournament winner also automatically earns an entry into the main event.<\/span><\/p>\n

The entire schedule for the WPT World Online Championships will be released soon.<\/span><\/p>\n
